    Yao Ming and other NBA injuries






    Yao Ming goes out for at least 6 weeks with a fractured tibia.

    Pretty sad considering he was coming into his own dominance and having an MVP type performance this year after dominating Shaq and claiming his spot as the best center in the NBA.


    With Mcgrady out with a sore back, looks like JVG is now forced to play his bench and find out that the roster has giant hols. He'll have to start 50 year old Mutombo at center with no backup (which he'll probably give to Juwan Howard...ouch)

    It was fun to see while it lasted. Here's to him recovering and coming back where he left off.

    Wow. Talk about injuries making a dent in a very, very competitive Western Conference. I think every team out here has suffered some injury to a key player.

        I'd put on the Larry Hughes injuries on the list as well... Drew Gooden has also missed a few games.... Tough break for the Rockets though...

                  add CP3 to the injury bug list

                  RealGM -

                  Chris Paul injured his right ankle with 1:18 remaining in the first quarter of Tuesday's game at Seattle.

                  Paul appeared to be in great pain and his teammates carried him off the floor, as he could not exit on his own.

                  The Hornets have been plagued by injuries throughout the season.

                    Re: Yao Ming

                    well tmac is back and if the rockets can hang on till yao comes back they still got a shot at the playoffs this year

                    we have a very small lineup now so it wont be very easy
