Yao Done For The Season
After scoring 24 against Jersey, Yao Ming learned he has a fracture in his collarbone
It's bad enough losing a big game, but losing one of your best (and most exciting) players in the middle of a playoff race is a dagger to the heart. After falling to the Nets 110-86 Monday night, the Rockets learned that Yao will miss 4-6 weeks with a broken collarbone. Translation: He's done for the regular season and playoffs (if the team beats out Phoenix). And did I mention how much the team IQ just dropped? Huge blow.
