OT : Yao done for season

[Magz50]

On the general board. He has a stress fracture that will require surgery and keep him out this season. Bad news for Houston. I guess it wil laffect Brent's decision too if he was gonna go there. Probably not anymore.

[DBMethos]

Yeah, I was just gonna say that this is doubly good for us. Takes a contender out of the picture and increases the chances of Brent coming back.

Feel bad for Yao & Houston though...that really sucks.

[pro2020]

damn, that sucks, sorry to hear about this.

[Magz50]

Yeah feel bad for the Rox fans. Knowing your team was a contender and then losing your goto guy like that just flat out sucks. I wonder if they'll have enough to still make the playoffs this year. T Mac is gonna have to play out of his skin.

Just horrible for the Rockets

They were going so well in the new year after a messy start.

Unfortunately, this was one of the injury concerns that was there for the Rockets.

Questionable if they can still make the playoffs. Especially because a main reason why they had it going well with Yao out for 2-3 months last season, was Deke playing so well. Can he do that again? I don't know.

They might be able to make the POs still, but I think things definitely go to Denver/Golden State again. This also does lessen the WC somewhat.

I didn't think Houston were a contender, though. Not established enough for me, and had some question marks. They'd have to prove being a title contender along the way, at least in getting to the WCF.

[Blame Rasho]

Jeez... this sucks for them. Fire the doctor... the man was talking around with broken bones for god's sake. He was playing in the allstar game.

[lukeridenour]

terrible news..

[Donald Kaufman]

Bad luck. Will the Rockets ever have an injury free season?

Well it is as likely as seeing the Pope do porn...
