Yao is hurt guys

As Rocket fans we now have to decide how we want to root for him.

Ever since his Game 1 knee-knock he's been pretty bothered. Don't forget that he will be playing in China this off-season and will have *very* limited time to recuperate on any surgery / medical attention his knee needs.

I feel so ... conflicted. And used. We, as the Houston Rockets, do not have sole say over what happens to Yao - that all comes down to the Chinese government. If Yao's knee is truly busted we might not see him until midway through next season around the time McGrady comes back due to his obligations in the Chinese league.

If any of this site's bloggers can provide some more insight that would rock.

However, Yao is hurt. His knee is definitely botherhing him.

No cursing in title. No pirated material, such as links to online game streams. Do not cut/paste entire sections of content from other websites. Thanks.

You sure it's his knee?

He said in the post game it was his ankle. and he said he should be ready for Sunday.

But I did see that huge black bruise on his right knee though.

Game 1

He went down grabbing his knee in that game.

Tonight he was limping late in the 4th quarter.

He is seriously bothered.

We'll let you know as soon as we know

Otherwise, assume he will play on Sunday. I can’t see him sitting that one out.

Nah he will play

But with him limping late in this game 3 I am seriously worried.

Guys – this is not good.

ankle/foot....

Rockets page says sore left foot, that is his surgery foot, not good!! lets hope sore is all and he is back in action on Sunday, although this non rest is killing him, how does Denver/Mavs get 3 days off, can someone tell why they are the only ones that get this and we all have one with travel????

Well sorry guys, I called it

i called it Friday night.

Tom told me to go to bed, so I did, however it seems I was right. Yao is out.

I was wrong about the knee, but still, it was very apparent that Yao was hurt during Game 3.

At this point all we can hope for is a strong T-Mac comeback next season with a strong Yao and a 32-4 to close out the 2nd half of the season heading into the playoffs on our way to a 2010 NBA championship.

And it will happen that way. I’m calling it as I see it, and I’m calling it now.

Quote me in 365 days from now when we’re facing New Orleans in the 2nd Round. It is happening.
