    he should have an MRI regardless. last yr, NOBODY on earth expected a stress fracture b/c he could still run and play 35+ mins before he got the MRI.

    to be SAFE, yao should also get an MRI. we cannot play around this year. do whatever it takes to get all 3 healthy for the playoffs.

    Sit Tmac out, hes been injured way too long into this season. He needs to heal up if hes gonna ball. This guy is seriously made of glass.

    Like I said, this is a warning from god. If we don't stop bickering and stop bashing our players, god will send injuries to our team. Let's all stop bickering with the nonsense and start supporting our players.

    To be totally honest and not biased, Yao Ming got the eye of the tiger and heart of a lion. He'll play through an injury. But TMac will frown and pout when he's scratched. It's not hating, I'm just speaking the truth. Even when he's not really injured, he'll make it seems like he's injured. No heart.

    Just being honest here. I hope TMac get his act together soon. We need EVERYONE on this team.

    As the time passes I believe more and more that we are cursed.

    But seriously, when was the last time you saw that some team lost three of their players to injuries? It doesn't need to be NBA, when WAS THE LAST TIME?

    Oh I agree. It is better to sit now than later in the season when you wanna be 100% and play your best before the playoffs.

    Last year we didn't even know Yao was hurt. He just played against Bulls. Maybe it wasn't his best game but he scored 12 points and looked ok. Than several hours later we could read a news 'yao ming out for the season'.

    We gotta make sure he is ok.

    Yeah.... I'll hold off on thinking Yao is fine... his was the worst, the grimace, the uneasy look on his face. Something is wrong with him and he's not happy about it...

    Artest will definitely be missing games, I think he rolled it pretty hard.

    Tmac will probably play next game but will be limping around.

    We should change the team's trainers and medical stuff. There is something going wrong.

    Man this is wouldn't be that big of a problem if the rest of our team was full strength. Barry is hurt, Francis and Battier still are working to get back. I say we start giving Dorsey a little bit of time out there, 10 mins tops. He can develop into a more defensive minded Carl Landry.

    Once Francis and Battier return we'll be alright if Tmac goes down or Artest, not so much if Yao went down though we managed to fare pretty well with him out last season to a certain extent.

    Mac Injured Lineup (w/ Francis/Battier back)
    Yao
    Scola
    Battier
    Artest
    Alston (Eventually Francis, mind you a 100% Francis, will swipe Alston's spot in a matter of a few games or will come in for Artest.)

    Artest injured Lineup-Back to last season except with a better bench.
    Yao
    Scola
    Battier
    Mac
    Alston

    Yao Injured Lineup-That's when Deke should be signed
    Deke
    Scola
    Artest
    Mac
    Alston

    Yao was tugging on his shoe and hobbling up the court. Last season it was so unexpected, BOOM out for the year. Yao should definitely get an MRI too. We need him for the playoffs.
