good post, i think from now on, Yao will miss 10 to 20 games every season due to various injuries on his body, just like Shaq used to miss games, since both of them have huge giant bodies. it's really good to see t-mac is healthy and carrry the games. I think we that's why we need two stars. Hopefully, we will stay around or even above 0.500 when Yao returns, by then Rox will dominate the second half of the season, and hit the prime when playoff starts. 6 weeks is a good period of time for Yao to take a break, just like last year, when he returns, he will be dominant. [ Of course, i hope Yao hadn't got injured. i'm just trying to look positives ]
I would just like to remind everyone here that 8-12 was needed if Yao was out 6 weeks and 10-14 was needed if he was out 7-1/2 ie. All Star Break Since then 3-0 after tonight 4-0 which = playoffs 4-12 or 6-14 is all we need to hover around the 8th seed till Yao gets back. I really see us winning tonight and then playing 500 ball over this tough schedual the next few weeks. Go Rockets!
