Yao is done...Stress fracture in ankle

[MmP]

feel terrible for yao

[Ditty]

Maybe Thabeet for one of there million draft picks they have.. I think the rockets are fine scoring but need another big man and they should be good

[djohn2oo8]

Or we can hope the Magic start to suck and Dwight leaves when his contract is up. No way would he want to come to crutch city though, but one can dream. Hakeem could work out with him on a daily basis. Oh well, in terms of sports, we are South Cleveland

[Roxsfan]

I don't think all the blame goes on China, guys his height rarely have long basketball careers. At least we can move forward knowing that he's done and his contract expires at the end of the season.

70% is on China. Your point only illustrates the dire need for a 7'6" 315 pound, coordinated center to rest in the offseason. However, we all know china would not allow that.

20% on Vangundy's Rockets over using him/not limiting his minutes or providing a legitimate backup.

5% on ty officiating.
5% on Yao being stubborn.

[Spurs Brazil]

This sucks, poor Yao

[baseline bum]

So they're not going to win the division then?

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

We've seen stuff like this too many times the past couple years. Yao's career is done for.

I had a conversation about Yao after his 1st season with some fans and explained that this was going to happen to him well before he hits 30. I said his best years will be now (back in 2003/04) and he'll get progressively worse due to his body failing presmaturely unlike most players who hit their prime between 27-32.

Hakeem Olajuwon >>> Any player to ever wear a Spurs uniform

..my man, how the did you come up with a prediction like that?..I don't think many people could have foreseen it..

[frodo]

before the season began i was convinced by every rockets fan that the rockets were the 2nd best team in the west. they are starting to play fine now since their jinx is done, still have a long way to go though.

: : :

i've been saying the truth since about 2 years ago that e is done and rockets need to start rebuilding however the morons always insisted that e would come back strong and continue to contribute. Drafting a piece of with the #1 pick was destined to be a mistake in the first place. prior to this season you re s convinced me that the Rockets with YAO back would be the 2nd best team in the western conference, and it turned out to be quite different in reality.

[Danny.Zhu]

Really, really sad.

I had wished someday Yao and Duncan could be on the same team...

RA overused him as well.

I would give Yao's left foot for Cousins

frodo....do re s always fool you and take advantage of you? i've known some very smart re s who greet people at walmart, but i never knew how convincing they could be until you posted this information.

please post more often.

Like that would do us any good. Yao's left foot is worthless. RIP Yao's career.

In his best dream Yao is sent to resurrection land in Phoenix where he rehabs into a consistent regular 30 minute rotation for an entire season.

His worst nightmares have him going to portland where he fully recovers from ankle problems but is forever plagued with new injuries in the promise land of blowout knee central.
