Houston fans, you might have a problem -- a 7-foot, 6-inch one, to be exact. The latest Ya-ouch for Rockets fans dropped Monday with reports that Houston big man Yao Ming might be sidelined all of next season, and perhaps longer, because of his foot injury.
Should Houston fans fear a possible collapse of the Yao Ming dynasty? According to SportsNation, no. You believe Yao's injury will not end his career and that he will hit the NBA court again.
But what does this mean for the 2009-10 season? If Yao is out of the picture, are the Rockets out, too? It's time to decide, SportsNation, how the Rockets will do without Yao next season. Vote below.
“No Yao means Artest will probably want to get the heck out of Houston. The Rockets could go from title contenders to the lottery, just like that. How unfortunate.

“Rest easy, Rocket fans. You are ultimately better off without Yao next year. It may seem hard to believe right now, but the team you have right now can play a much more up-tempo game without Yao in the middle. All is not lost.
