The Houston Rockets were looking amazing during this year’s playoffs. They were the surprise team in the Western Conference, who almost took out the mighty Lakers during the second round. Even after injuries to Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, we saw the other players come in and win some games, challenging the Lakers in a way that they hadn’t expected. McGrady’s injury will take him out of the first half of the season. But the one that has surprised everyone is Yao Ming’s, who is still quite injured. He broke his foot in the game. But it hasn’t healed right and he might miss the entire season. There are also reports that it could end his career altogether if they aren’t able to figure it out. He says he feels just fine, but the CT showed that it wasn’t in good condition at all. It’ll take a little while to figure it out but the Rockets may be in big trouble without their two main team leaders.
