    GS is still a young team. The Rockets are one of the older teams in basketball...Capela's injury was a freak thing. CP3, Gordon and Nene getting hurt should not be a surprise. Given the minutes PJ and Harden are playing, I worry that one or both are at serious risk...

    How dare u ask? Don’t u know all rockets injuries are either soreness or mild strains? They just take 4-6 weeks every time because trainers wanna save Tillman money

    otoh...
    TMac, CP3, EGo and Ryan Anderson all came in the door with reps as being 'damaged goods'
    Yao was doing double time between the NBA and playing for China...
    and Luc got hurt in a meaningless second to last game of the season - and still hasnt returned to form...

    Don't forget Nene was signed on a stretcher in assisted living.

    Might have brought him back too fast.

    No setback. Sounds like EG will be good to go for the Lakers game.

    As of last week, we were THE oldest team. Now that we've added Nunnally, we're even older.

    Next year, though, we definitely won't have Melo on the roster, and chances are good Nene will be gone in a trade as well. That's 70 years right there.

    I can't detect sarcasm from this post so I'm going to take this as true adoration for Keith Jones and the training staff.

    Are we all going to ignore the moment Chandler Parsons left the Rockets his knees were repossessed!?

    I do blame the training staff for Yao. They should have kept him light instead of packing on the pounds.

    If this is the case then..

    HOW on earth does a professional coach mismanage minutes so poorly that he leaves ZERO minutes available the whole 4th quarter for our 2nd best player who is KNOWN to be absolutely clutch when it counts? :confused:

    how do you exactly mismanage minutes as if the minutes he played weren't needed when he was in the game. Especially when the rockets were down double digits. He hit the minutes cap. its as simple as that. I can only imagine the outrage had they gone over it and he suffered a setback
