LOL, Bev and Dmo are nowhere near the players as the others you just mentioned. It would be even less than losing Carl Hererra and Vernon Maxwell in 1995... and we see how that turned out.
With Dorsey shooting free throws like he has f'ing Down's syndrome dmo is more important than Carl Herrera
I agree that Capela needs to see the court more. He just needs consistent playing time to get in a rhythm. Does McHale really thinks he can go into the playoffs with Prigs playing PG and Dorsey getting significant minutes? That lineup ain't going nowhere.
Rockets had their opening day starting lineup <5 games this year. With 3 of those players missing 40+ games EACH. POR (Matthews) is the only other WC playoff team missing a key player... we have 2!! WTF!!!
This is the straw that broke the camel's back. Our front court depth is what made us a threat in the playoffs, but now that is gone. This just isn't our year. This was the worst news to hear when I woke at 3:30am to watch the game. Kind of depressed.
please update, we need to know what is the reason for him being out of the season and why couldn't they tell us earlier when he went down with the back injury, i didn't remember seeing anything during games that would rule him out the whole season left, this is unacceptable if nothing came out
NO he's not... Dwight being able to play more than 30 minutes, let alone 40, consistently mitigates Dorsey's non-impact.
Do you think if we put DMo in that fancy running machine just one more time it might get him healthy??
How is flat footed 39 yr old Duncan still playing while 24 yr old FLat footed DMO out for the year with back issue? I know they manage TD's minutes and he gets nites off for being old but still.
The air bag helps hold his lower back in place. That is a weird looking machine. I think he'd be better of just using a pool treadmill. Water is more natural than air bags any day and will offer him conditioning while be light on his joints as well.
Well if DMo's back injury is serious enough the Rockets might need to look at drafting a PF. Back injuries are scary for big men and if DMo can't come back the Rockets don't have a starting caliber PF on the roster.
IIRC, you need four guys out for however long at the same time. The way things are going, we still have time. :-/
