Could the Rockets if they were to be healthy next year meaning Yao and Mcgrady at full strength, beat any and all of those teams in a series?

why even include yao as our center? he's out all year so why even do the comparisons? even mac will be out almost the whole year too.

If the Rockets were fully healthy, all year long, they could and probably would beat any and all of those teams.

Truth is, that will never happen, the chances are absolutely 0%, so why think about it?

If next season both includes Yao and Tmac then someone should be fired.

How many more injuries have to occur before we break these two injury prone players up. Like seriously you guys are relying on Yao next year to lead us to the promised land??? We need new stars,,,unless tmac resigns with us next year for cheap and Yao gets new legs

Tmac won't be with us after his current contract is over.

He probably won't be in the NBA after his current contract runs out.

Yao took the surgery to reconstruct his leg so hopefully it is good as being getting new legs :wink:
