    You play basketball you get hurt. Quit over-reacting. Management is doing the right thing in being precautionary.

    are you serious? if the MRI is the reason yao was pulled out, IT HAS to be something more serious than just a simple injury.

    oh my god, the front office better not hide something. last yr, the news of the stress fracture was a total surprise.

    these rockets doctors are killing me

    sprains and strains show up on mris too. It doesn't HAVE to be a serious injury. I think theyre just being smart and precautionary. Something they didnt do last year.

    I thought Yao's goal was playing all 82 games this reason, can he start and play about 3 minutes in this game?? And then Mission Accomplished!

    I'm about to head out into the field for army training this afternoon/evening...and if I get back in tonight and see Yao
    is projected to experience anything other than a fully recovery, I'm gonna go absolutely apes**t. I have an ambulance on standby, because I don't know if my heart can take another shattering.

    Hahahaha... Another frustrated Rocket fan. Dont take you anger out on me because Yao is freakin fragile.

    Lets just see how "unrealistic" it is for the "Big Unreliable" to stay healthy and "unrealistic" it is for the Rockets to get out the first round.

    Really? At this moment, you are ready to break up the entire team based on an ambiguously detailed injury. Is this your first time following a sports team?

    Why does every single thread devolve into people calling the season over and personal attacks?

    How is it their fault? Was it the doctors that killed Ralph Sampson's legs too? Did Portland's docs screw up Greg Oden?

    Sometimes these guys have bodies that can't last with NBA activity. I hate to think about it, but Yao probably is one of those guys.

    Man it hurts especially after he said he was fine. They still did not say it official and we don't know the MRI's results.

    You never know how it is gonna end up with Yao so I love that doctors take it easy with him. If he is sore, let him rest. I only HOPE he is really ok and he is not injured. Come on Yao we need ya.

    BTW we need a great game from Tracy and Ron!

    Okay ummm lets see...

    When was the last time Yao played a full season?

    How many games has this guy missed for the last three seasons?

    When was last time the Rockets won a playoff series??

    See a pattern?????

    1) the doctors were very late in diagnosing tracy's knee injury last yr. tracy, only a high school graduate, thought something was wrong with his knee beyond soreness. the doctors didn't think so, apparently they were wrong.

    2) yao's stress fracture was diagnosed after yao complained about it about a month earlier. again, they were late.

    now, they're letting tracy decide whether an MRI is necessary?

    let's be real, are these "decisive" doctors? NO.

    it's their fault when they're slow in diagnosing things that should be diagnosed sooner.

    So what's the plan? What legitimate trade can we do right now?

    exactly, at their best, when healthy, tracy and yao are still great players. but they're not healthy all the time.

    no team is willing to trade for those 2 guys right now unless both play at least 75 games for the next 2 yrs.
