    Well, it has to play out like this:

    Since we are the Rockets, and seem to be innocently victimized by a plague of injuries the past few years...

    Steve and Cuttino will both be streaking down the court to catch a long pass from Anderson. They run into each other, both sprain their ankles, and are both out 4-6 weeks.

    We call up Boseman, Devin Gray, Jimmy King (homer plea), and go 10-2 with SCABS in our line up.

    UGH, this year is frustrating me. I am so down on Cato, and I know it is not his fault. He seems to be just one of those guys that gets hurt easily. Speaking of guys that get hurt easily, Don MacLean has been playing very well. Too bad the leading scorer in UCLA history is injury prone, we could have kept that guy! What a sweet shot he has.

    Um, Cynthia Cooper missed one game I think and the All-Star game with her high ankle sprain. She still excelled the rest of the season with a sore ankle.

    Why does Cato miss six weeks? How wimpy is that? The guy is taking a free ride with that contract the Rockets mistakenly gave him. Better hope Collier works out I think.

    Not all sprains are the same. It may have something to do with how high Cato was before coming down, how much Cato weighs, the angle he come down on his ankle, how far he rolled it, etc.

    When I played basketball religiously with a friend, we both sprained our ankles at times. I could be back playing in a few days, while his lasted for weeks at a time.

    I imagine there is a medical explanation for why one would be out longer than other. Maybe our tendons or ligaments are different lengths and mine could better withstand and ankle roll.

    <HR WIDTH=75%>

    As for the topic of this thread, my answer is <U>NO ONE!</U>. No Rocket will miss another game for the rest of the season after Kenny, Taylor and Cato return.

    Everyone repeat after me, "No more injuries." Say it when you wake up, say it before you eat, say it after you eat, and say it before you go to bed at night.

    Come on, guys. Stay positive.

    Cato has a high ankle sprain, which can be much more severe...and much more painful, as well as harder to heal.

    It almost feels like all the muscles on the outside of your calf and shin are strained and extremely sore.

    It was the fro. I think he just needed a game to adjust.

    Now, if someone hacks the fro, do they get called for a foul?

    It depends on whether or not the fro had position before the hack. [​IMG]

    Next to get hurt: Clutch, the bear. Freak accident involving him, the power dancers, and Les Alexander. Results in High ankle sprains all around. Boseman, Devin Gray, and Jimmy King are picked up, but only to replace the power dancers....ugh!

    It would have been nice to have Pig Miller or T-Mass around to get some rebounds now...

    We'll only get injuries to our big guys so KT won't be coming back just yet; Olajuwon will be down with asthma; Taylor will be in a cast; and Collier will be out within two minutes of the next game. Then we'll go real small:

    PG Norris
    SG Francis
    SF Mobley
    PF Anderson
    C Williams

    But we'll still beat the stuffing out of the Clippers!

    Dont worry guys, the results of the injury will come soon. Watch the game against the clippers and someone will get injured on the rockets. We will find out who the winner is.

    GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL.

    That's what the other teams will be saying after being shellshocked by Steve Francis and Co.

    Was Mooch wearing cornrows or fro last night? Because if it was cornrows... then we have the secret to our success. Cornrows every night, Mooch, and we will be 81-1. Woohoo!!!
