    i'm done with these guys.

    they are both injury prone.

    yao is too big for his own good. tmac has his own issues wit injuries.

    it's time to sell the farm.

    Come on man......for the love of God.......sports are about ADVERSITY!! If this team cannot overcome ADVERSITY then you sell the farm.....thats what life is all about, and this is no different.

    So whoever had ESPN.com and 2:31 in the pool for when the overused "Houston, We have a Problem" headline was going to be rolled out wins.

    How horribly disappointing. God this sucks. I was really looking forward to seeing how far the Rockets could take the streak and how they matched up with the elite teams come playoff time. Right after Adelman came out and said the Rox could play with anybody. Right after Bobby Jackson got here.

    Here's hoping the Rox can still make some noise in the playoffs. Without Yao though the road just got a lot tougher.

    Tomorrow never die!
    We are not supposed to get rings this year. We still have a big chance to land a big fish in the offseason.

    Lets see how Tmac and RA finish this season.

    Personally, I dont feel optimistic about Yao's career going forward.

    05-06 57 games - Yao missed a big trunk of season with toe surgery and a broken foot.
    06-07 55 games (including playoffs) - Yao had the knee surgery.
    07-08 55 games - Out of season. Yao gets a stress fracture.
    Yao didnt even play in this summer. So, Yao should be well rested for this season.

    So, can a less than 4 months of games cause Yao a stress fracture? I dont know. But Yao is just too big and he hardly can handle one brutal season of NBA.

    Only bright side to the injury is that it helps our winning streak.

    The upcoming teams we are going to play have focused on our game with yao, now they have to go draw up a whole new game plan on how to play us because no one knows how this team is going to play in adelmans system without yao, and i think we have an advanage.

    well, the good part is that all these injuries are for different parts of his body, not the same place.
