Yao Out for Rest of Playoffs

Well, if you haven't heard by now, Houston Rockets center Yao Ming has a stress fracture in his left foot, which will sideline him 8-12 weeks and the rest of the playoffs. This comes a day after the Rockets lost Game 3 of their Western Conference Semifinal series with the Lakers 108-94. My first reaction to this: shock and devastation. Third straight year this has happened to the Rockets. The basketball gods just have something against us. Sigh. Well, anyway, great season, Rockets, battling the entire way. Who knows what would have happened if we had our Big 3 healthy for the whole season. Tomorrow's Game 4 will be about heart. No matter the outcome, these Rockets have had a tremondous season, and are champions in my book.
