Yao Ming's season reportedly is over.

KRIV-TV in Houston and The Houston Chronicle are reporting that Yao has a stress fracture in his left foot and the Rockets are expected to announce he will have season-ending surgery later Tuesday.

The team has scheduled an afternoon news conference.

Houston, currently on a 12-game winning streak, is in fourth place in the Southwest Division. The streak followed a loss in the one game that Yao has missed all season.

The 7-foot-6 Yao is averaging 22.0 points and 10.8 rebounds in 55 games this season.

And more importantly Tracy's hopes of the 2nd round

LOL ... I was gonna say that too but didn't want it to go to your head.

**fancylad** · 02-26-2008, 02:23 PM

my heart goes out to the people of Houston. boo hoo.

Jeez wasn't some poster just saying he wouldn't pick him for his any player from any organization dream team because of his durability.

**Ball Don't Lie** · 02-26-2008, 02:30 PM

Wow, that fucking sucks. Just when Houston is hitting their stride too. Now Denvers gonna make the playoffs and it wont be as interesting. Fuck

pimpery · 02-26-2008, 02:54 PM

Yao is the best pure C in the game today imo. And Tracy is my fav raptor ever, im very disappointed to see this happen.

As for Toronto fans that dont like McGreatness, i always wonder why? He played hard when he was here, they never started him or gave him the PT he deserved, i used to scream that he was better all around then Prince Vince, but no1 would listen, so he jumped ship and went somewhere that made him the number 1 option, with number 1 $, PT and respect, dont act like you wouldnt do the same thing. No we missed the boat bigtime on Tmac.

rapsfan087 · 02-26-2008, 02:59 PM

wow, 1,100 millions of people are gonna be pissed this summer (China BB team without Yao are nothing IMO).

Rockets fans too, of course.

Hardly...he's a whiner, not a winner...just like his cuz.

**Raptorman** · 02-26-2008, 03:12 PM

McBaby duped our city and Chicago making them think he was going there. Both cities counted on him and changed their strategies accordingly.

He just used us to get a max deal out of Orlando. We all know what the karma gods did there.

**Ball Don't Lie** · 02-26-2008, 03:24 PM

Pimpery seems to like everyone the Raptors fans hate, weird how that works.

Lets not make this thread about Tmac.

Poor Yao is probably gonna have these foot problems the rest of his career too. Hopefully he rests til next year and doesnt play in the olympics

**INSIDER** · 02-26-2008, 04:01 PM

can this guy ever be healthy?
he's 7'6, 340 pounds... running up and down the court all game long.
theres no way his body can handle it.
poor guy, if he could just put together a full season.... he'd be considered one of the best C's ever.... but his health wont let it happen.

**Belsius** · 02-26-2008, 05:03 PM

Umm, too bad, I like that Rockets team a lot. Scola has always being an amazing player.

Krazy Ivan · 02-26-2008, 05:09 PM

Few more days and then T-Mac will be done for a year because of his back...

Actually i think Vince sucks.

Was just wondering why all the hate on Tmac, he did what was best for him, what any1 else would do.

Like many international players, the olympics are more important to Yao then the NBA season, esp considering its in China, im thinking he will do w/e possible to get back for them.

Good for Tracy and his garbage rockets.

put that "garbage" team in the east and they prob 3rd. If they could only stay healthy i think their only questionable spot was PG (wow yet another former rap i dont like :O ), i really liked their chances this year as a sleeper team that could go very deep in the playoffs and hell, possibly win it all.
