I didn't even have to click the link to guess that it was a foot problem. Poor guy just can't keep his feet healthy.

Looks like TMac can keep his annual vacation reservations in tact again during the 2nd round of the playoffs. He'll probaby be able to bump them up a week or two as well. :D

Maybe in his rookie season, but he's a good 310+ pounds now. Overrated? How so? He's the best C in the league (Dwight Howard is catching up), averages 22 / 11 this year and 25 / 10 last year, how is that overrated? In fact, I would say he's underrated because many people have the same attitude you do. It's a shame for the Rockets though, they were playing so well & I thought they had a great chance to get out of the 1st round of the playoffs this year.

Well, if Yao actually had an off-season to rest instead of playing all year non-stop. After the NBA season for China, maybe he could avoid these things.

Poor rockets fans....
You have been dealing with T-mac being injured on and off for FOREVER.

Once he begins to get dominant and healthy, you lose your other big piece.

I feel for ya guys....

IS ANYTHING FROM CHINA RELIABLE???

that said, sucks for the rockets. but you guys will probably be stuck in "not quite elite enough to really contend" mode unless something drastic happens.
