Yao’s Tired of T-Mac’s Injuries, Wants Team to Move on Without Him?
Larry Brown Sports —
... lineup the past few seasons. Even when he’s trying to soldier through the pain, he’s often nowhere near full strength leaving us to wonder whether or not he’s doing more harm than good. Instead of playing limited minutes in games, T-Mac’s decided to sit out two weeks to try and let his surgically repaired knee heal. Sounds like it makes sense. Problem is the injuries and missed games are mounting leaving the Rockets wondering if it’s time to move on: ...

... rush J.R. ready to quarrel. Cubes is vigilant, but I'd hardly call him violent. So while the owner confronting the player on an opposing team is pretty unorthodox, I'd say that all the fuss over this is much ado about a non-incident that shouldn't even be mentioned. Cuban's mad because J.R. threw an elbow, J.R.'s probably mad because Cuban rejected his peace offering, and everybody else is mad because Cuban was being Cuban. Bah humbug. Meanwhile, Yao might not exactly be opposed to Moore's central thesis regarding T-Mac. Trouble is certainly brewing in ...

... up on their respective teams’ rosters, but evidently they aren’t too concerned with actually showing up on the floor anymore. Both are trying to come back from knee surgeries and both are said to be conditioning. That must be the NBA equivalent to taking a “personal sabbatical” from a regular job. It sounds like something a professional would do, but it’s actually just an excuse to hang out and collect paychecks.
