No Tracy McGrady = No Hope. At least that's how it's played out this season in Houston. And the Rockets will be without the all-NBA swingman Monday night when the Nets arrive for the last game of their short road trip. Houston is 2-14 in games without TMac, the most recent loss coming Sunday night against San Antonio. Yao Ming has been on a tear, averaging 31.3 ppg over the last four. Jason Collins has, when healthy, been able to slow the 7'-6" Yao, who averages 12.1 ppg against the Nets.
