Right when it looked like the Houston Rockets were getting it together, they get hit with that all too familiar injury bug. It seems like Yao Ming will now miss the reast of the season with a stress fracture in his left foot. This is just terrible as I don’t see Houston being able to survive in the West without Yao. With the trade deadline already come and gone this is a huge blow to McGrady and the Rockets.
After winning twelve in a row, the Rockets really showing they were going to be one of the teams to deal with this postseason. With the loss of Yao, the Rockets don’t stand a chance against the powers of the West. They need his presence to compete with the Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Utah Jazz, and San Antonio Spurs. A real dissappointment for a team that really seemed to have found its stride.
Even though they were able to beat the Washington Wizards and win their 13th straight basketball game I don’t expect this team winning streak to last much longer. For more on this injury and it’s repercussions for the Rockets I share with you a PTI video by ESPN:
