Just when everything was clicking for the Rockets, all of a sudden, a tragic loss to the team.. Bad News for the Houston Rockets. They were on their quest to win 13th straight, but without Yao, I don't think they'll be able to pull off their 13th win. Yao averaged 22 and 10 plus boards.
Everyone thought that Houston was going to win this season's playoffs by looking at the way they were going but with out Yao, that will be an awfully hard task to accomplish. They might not even get passed the first round of the playoffs.
Furthermore, Yao will be out for the Post Season as well for next season.
This will open opportunities for the role players like Scola, Landry, etc. to step up and show what they're worth and also gain vital experience that will help them succeed better for next season. I'm sorry to say but now the Rockets have no chance of even passing the second round of this season's playoffs.
