    I would think that it is a game-time decision, depending on the MRI result. But the foot problem for what? this is an issue.

    Where is those MRI result? If nothing comes up, he should play for 25 minutes.

    Yeah. I am hoping that the very fact that one is saying he'll play and one is saying he's out that it isn't all that serious.

    You play who can play. Of course, we prefer our big guy out there, but if he's out, he's out. Can't worry about it too much. There's games to be won still.

    MRI results come in and he is pulled from tonight's game; that is a bad combination of events which suggests something serious. If there are more stress fractures, not only is his season over, but his career may be over. I just have that sinking feeling that we are going to get bad news before the game tonight. I sincerely hope I am wrong. :(

    Andre ware's " OH NO"
    carl's "uH oH"

    all phrases that come to mind. =(

    But at least the injury happened in the early part of the year.

    Yao says he's fine.

    Tmac says he's out.

    Artest says he thinks he'll play.

    Yao is going to the doctor.



    WTF IS GOING ON!??!?!

    If Yao is really out ( we wont know until its tip off ) then hopefully we get to see Joey Dorsey. If Yao doesnt play this would be the perfect time to see what the young guy has. Hopefully Coach doesnt act like JVG and not play his rookie

    Man they are not going to be the Mavs without yao. They did it last year but that's when the chemistry was on point. We all know it's not right now.

    This sounds so much like last year when they announced he was done for the year. Hopefully it is just minor.

    I can totally see what's going thru Eric Dampier's mind right now:

    "Should I take the elixir of major strength to counter Yao or should I take the elixir of agility to battle Landry. Oh noes, god help me, which one should I take!"

    I give up. Yao will probably be injured his whole career. Tallest guy on the team is probably Scola now, Morey gambled again that Yao would be there for the whole season with no legit big man to back him up. Other teams scouting report is to attack the rockets basket at all cost now.
