    Hope that is not serious.
    We have enough depth now so getting a decent seeding in playoff should be no problem even without TMAC. But please come back 100% before playoff.....

    Even if it's because they're inspiring the players to work extra hard

    lol no, it's a quote from feign who talked to one of the assistant coaches. they don't think he'll miss a game. but let's see how tracy feels tomorrow. if it's a little sore, he might sit out a game. but i think more than that is not expected.

    what a freak accident is that? imagine if yao stepped on his knee? :eek: lol

    If Tmac misses a game because of a sprained ankle, I'd be really pissed.

    Suck it up, Tracy.

    yao missed 2 games for precautionary reasons when yao thought he could play. sometimes the docs have a say in this.

    Yeah, the political correct thing to do will be to show a lot of empathy toward these very players who we idolize, but c'mon, only three times this season did we have the entire squad on the court. :mad:

    The Rockets are teasing us to death with this promised greatness.

    Have you never sprained your ankle?

    Depends on the severity of it, but often times you can't even walk on it.

    Also, walking/playing on it can make it even worse and potentially mess it up for a long time.

    You have to be smart about it, not do what you want.

    At least this is a detectable injury and not him saying he hurts somewhere. His ankle will be swollen if sprained.

    I sprained my ankles too many times to keep track of them. Sometimes I could barely hobble.

    But if you pay me 20 million dollars a year, I will get on all four and play. :D

    All I can say is that Basketball God is not showing any love for our Rockets this year.

    You know if this happened last year I'd say our season was over after all these injuries for T-Mac. But this year with Wafer becoming a solid SG and the addition of Artest, I'm not that worried as of yet.

    Or maybe Yao was practicing his new weapon.

    Anyone who gets anywhere near the basket will get his foot step on by our 300-lb gorilla.

    Another excuse to use down the line when he comes back. LOL. He has been playing much better though, except for the late game jumpers.
