    Who would have thought, after the past couple years, Yao would be the one star that is not injuried? With our luck, by the time we get McTest back, Yao goes down.

    Let them both rest and get healthy... fine with me. At least it doesn't seem to serious.

    I think this is a good situation. It's only really 6 total games, then hopefully they wont miss any more games. Six games - Artest and Mac will be back. I'm not too worried about it.

    I am OK with that. If he would be in and out again, it is better to sit him for a long as he needs to. We need him back HEALTHLY

    6 or 10 if the need to, I don't really care. But we need them back at 100% and ready. Not 80, not 90, not even 99%.

    i'm kinda relieved. a bone bruise is much better than a possible stress fracture.

    I wonder how the Rockets can hold up with Ron and T-Mac being out at least two weeks.

    Their next two weeks look like this:

    Jan 13 Lakers @home
    Jan 17 Heat @home
    Jan 19 Denver @home
    Jan 21 Jazz @home
    Jan 23 Pacers on the road
    Jan 25 Pistons on the road
    Jan 26 Knicks on the road

    The Rockets could lost pretty much every game.

    Sure but playing with heart is one thing, and being healthly is the 2nd one. You gotta be healthly to play, and even if he leaves everything on the court, I would still sit him until he is 100%.

    just sit out this team has enough to avoid a long losing streak and stay close to that #2 seed that should be the goal at this point.

    Sit both of them out 2 weeks, Wafer and Barry get more minutes it's simple

    let's hope that Battier's foot holds up. He's gonna have to play a lot of minutes

    Mike Harris?

    We need to win 3 of these games and we'll be fine. If we can do that without two of the big three - then heck, we're still a very good team.

    I think we can do that.

    Much better news than them deciding to play through it and come playoff time miss games due to not resting the injury.
