The 7 foot 6 inches center from China, Yao Ming, get a fractured leg in the last NBA playoff games againts Lakers. When Houston Rockets is already playing without Tracy McGrady (out of the season), now they will play without their biggest stars, Yao Ming.
It's been terrible since the Playoff score now is 2-1 for LA Lakers. This NBA playoff news will discuss about the slim chances of Houston Rockets and the injured of Yao Ming. Even playing without Tracy McGrady, Houston is able to win 1 games and beat Kobe Bryant. However, there are too much injury problem that affected Houston chances this year. First of all, they must lose T-Mac out of the season. Then, the Yao back up, Dikembe Mutombo is also affected by knee injury (Mutombo decides to retires after he injured).
Without their scoring machines (T-Mac) and also their main backup for Center position (Dikembe Mutombo), Houston Rockets are depending on the Yao Ming too much. Well, okay Rockets still have Ron Artest and Carl Landry, but still, they are using Yao Ming too much after Dikembe Mutombo decides to retired. That's why the minutes play of Yao increasing dramatically, that's why Yao get injured for at least 10 weeks (he will be out of the season).
Without T-Mac, Yao Ming, and Dikembe Mutombo, it looks like Lakers will beat Houston Rockets easily.
