    would wearing knee pads have prevented the sprain? i don't really care. it should be mandatory for all players on the rockets to wear them. can't be dominohnt and unbeetable without them.

    That's fine. We have only 6 games over the next 15 days. @GS, @SAC, DEN, @DEN, NO, ATL. The only one of those I give the Rockets almost no shot to win in their current state(this is assuming Harden is ok, of course) is at the Warriors.

    We've kind of owned their soul for the past 3 years or so. Would be funny if we destroyed them regardless.

    If Harden's healthy and can play, the Rockets have a chance in that game. Didn't Orlando nearly beat the Warriors the other night?

    Papa-Nikolaou...

    In greek papa means father or priest
    And Nikolaou is a name: nicolas

    In greek they are many names beginning with papa and it means that some ancestor of papanikolaou was a priest ...

    so cool for a nickname ... The Priest

    Call him Saint Nick. He has a sort of beard, he wears red and white and t'is the season, after all.

    We nearly beat them last time and both Howard and Terrence were already out. I think there is a good chance we can win that game.

    In Australia our major sports code afl and my team st.kilda, our captan and is like the tom Brady of our sports nickname is Saint Nick, so it would be weird for me to call him that.

    he plays kinda like megatron for a comparison in the nfl

    Like I said, he would have had a couple key steals, rebounds, playmakes and even a couple of shots that would helped the Rox last night against the Warriors. What's the update on K-Pap?

    Diagnosed with a Grade 1 right MCL sprain, and injury that could keep him sidelined "a couple of weeks," according to Howard Chen of CBS Houston.

    Out 10-14 days

    it will help his legs later in the season. May give him a chance to work on his three point shot as he begins to be able to shoot soon.

    It would nice to have him back during the homestand which has 3 respectable opponents(Pelicans, Hawks, Blazers). But the Rockets can probably win those without him. We'll need him back though the following week when the team's at Memphis and San Antonio.

    Yeah but it looks like he only uses it for academics. It's filled with mathematics and physics symbols for some reason :cool:
