    Without Yao, you really we can win. Really?
    Our next tallest guy is 3,4 inch shorter than Gasol and Bynum and less athletic. They will have a field day.

    The difference is, it was Grant Hill's first major injury, and he should have had many dominant years to come if he hadn't played on that ankle. Yao has a long list of seasons ended prematurely by injuries. He has never been this far before, and he probably isn't sure how many more chances like this he will have.

    Rockets center Yao Ming was ruled out for the remainder of the season after a hairline fracture was found in his left foot Saturday evening.

    The Rockets had hopes he could play Sunday in Game 4 in their series against the Los Angeles Lakers, but additional diagnostic tests found the fracture.

    Yao's injury sums up the story of the Rockets this season. We are a championship team, but because of health issues, we will be nothing more than a good team. First Tmac's injury, Deke's career ending injury, and now Yao's foot injury. What else could go wrong? Maybe we get to see Ron's career end, if he beats some dude in LA's crowd? Let's face it, the ROCKETS HAVE BAD LUCK.

    Why can't the Rockets EVER catch a break?? Oh wait.....they did!! Yao's foot. Broke. Rocket's season. Done.

    Man. Every time we get a glimmer of hope, something like this happens.

    A sprained ankle turned into a broken foot. LOL what kind of medical staff do we have where they can't point things out the 1st time around.
