    Regardless how bleak the season may look at this point, I really can't believe people are talking about packing it up and turning it in...for what? a draft pick? Pfth...

    WEAKSAUCE

    cowardly

    b**chlike

    most importantly, not a Rockets fan.

    I'll be damned if the Rockets are put in the same league as the Texans where the fans cheer them for losing and boo them for winning. I'm tryin to keep this post clean...maybe I'm just a different kind of fan.

    i'm willing to root every game for the rest of the way. i just don't believe we can dominate the remaining games in order to make the playoffs.

    time to start checking out guys in the ncaa tourny.

    LOL, Amen.

    I, for one am not willing to give up on the season at all. It ain't over till the last second on the shot clock of the last game in the season has expired. Hell, we just might have the playoffs to look forward to at that point. In any case, plenty of games left to play yet and I am going to be rooting for the Rockets to give it their all in each and every one of them.

    Can we get a poll going on if the Rockets will make the playoffs?

    Yep ... in re-reading the advistory sent by the Rockets, it says "Dr. Watkins further said the injury is not chronic", but I believe they are referring to the specific injury on 3/5/2006. I took that at first to mean his back problems. Seems odd since, well, T-Mac has chronic back problems. I'm guessing they are more wanting to say this injury was unrelated to others.

    What a crazy, bizarre season for T-Mac. Injuries flare up almost immediately, his fiancee gives birth to a baby boy and he leaves in the middle of the game, more back problems, personal issues that forced him to seek counseling and say many days he doesn't even want to put on the uniform, the death of his mother-in-law and another (apparently separate) back injury that knocks him out for the playoff stretch run.

    I say yes it looks like LA will make it ok that gives you seven locks then you have the rockets, jazz, hornets and kings left batteling for the eighth spot.

    New Orleans just turned back into New Orleans they are done!
    The Jazz are you kidding me?

    That leaves Sacramento and Houston can anyone say tiebreak advantage!

    Throw in a surgery for Yao that took him out two weeks... injuries to Barry... Alston.... Sura.... Anderson... Mutombo... an eye infection for Swift...

    ...

    ... and we're still only a couple of games back from the playoffs.

    Yes!

    Actually I don't know how to start a poll so if someone else does not start one I thought I would thrown in my two cents.

    What are those arms gonna look like in another 3-4 years?

    The days of folks stealing the ball from Yao's grasp are gone.

    I BELIEVE!

    With LA winning and NO losing, we could still get the 8th seed and LA may end up being the seventh. It is not at all out of the realm of possibility that we can make a push for the playoffs (even though we need help from sacramento, utah, and NO) but it is not impossible. who knows, maybe we could somehow pull off the 8th seed and T-Mac comes back just in time for the playoff start. :)

    The bolded quote is from a few weeks ago. I remember it word for word. I'm not sure why ESPN included it in this article. :confused:

    It gives the impression that the injury is related to his chronic back problems, but it isn't. It's totally different.

    That's not good news at all.
