They are the Detroit Pistons of the West... they always underachieve...

Yao and T-mac are bound to get hurt anyway, not exactly shocking...

[last stand 2.0]

better for houston they get hurt earlier rather than later like they always do right

This is why the Rocket's aren't successful. This is the reality for all those Houston fans out there, this is why you guys aren't making it far regardless of how much talent you have on that team.

the rockets are cursed the sim league

I was never scared of Houston, because this was bound to happen. Yao is a warrior. I can't say the same for Knee-Mac or T-back

Well they were playing the Thunder and all 3 players didn't get injured until the second half.

Not too cursed...

Rockets get good news on McGrady, Yao, Artest
Signs point to at least two of the injured players taking the floor against Dallas

"Further notice" came quickly.

A day after Rockets guard Tracy McGrady said "until further notice, I’m going to have to shut it down," he was running through practice as if he never felt a shot of pain in Monday’s second half and never said the frustration had him reconsidering the idea of playing his way back to full strength.

McGrady said he was not certain he would play, but the chances had improved as much as his knee. He said he was "hopeful" he could play, called the MRI that was planned and cancelled "not necessary" and did not describe himself as like to stop playing entirely. "Right now, tomorrow is not ruled out," McGrady said. "I have to talk to coach and the trainers, maybe even monitor my minutes more. I could play. We just have to come out with some sort of solution. I don’t want to be out there looking the way I am right now. Me, coach, the trainers have to come up with some sort of solution."

The rest of the news was as uncertain, but also much better than when McGrady, Yao Ming and Ron Artest all left Monday’s game with injuries.

Yao and Artest did not practice, going instead for therapy and examinations. But both insisted, as they did after Monday’s game, that they would not miss Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks.
