I can't imagine this is going to surprise anybody, but it's worth mentioning since it's a division/state rival and someone we're fighting for playoff positioning...

McGrady Could Be Out For Season

HOUSTON -- Rockets guard Tracy McGrady could miss the remainder of the season, according to sources close to Local 2 sports. An MRI revealed missing cartilage in his left knee, which may require microfracture surgery to repair.

The possibility remains, however, that McGrady will try to finish the season. Dr. James Andrews, generally regarded as the premier orthopaedic surgeon in the country for this type of injury, will review the MRI before a final decision is made. Andrews advised those close to McGrady, that a microfracture surgery should only be used in a career saving situation.

McGrady and the Rockets will discuss options in a meeting at Toyota Center prior to tonight's game against Sacramento. At this point, the Rockets have no comment on the situation.

Tough luck for Rockets Nation again this season... But, I guess that's what you get when you rely on two brittle superstars like Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming ... Great talents, it's a damn shame they can't stay healthy...

I kinda wonder how this will affect them... McGrady hasn't played well this year anyways, and it seems like Yao and the rest of the locker room have gotten pretty tired of everything surrounding McGrady... Some of the guys have been pretty up front in questioning McGrady's toughness and his ability to lead...

We'll see how this plays out...

And just for good measure and because I thought this picture was absolute gold... Enjoy.

Hahahah...
