Shoulder strain...oh come the hell on. This is that same shoulder he hurt last season, isn't it? Sadness levels approaching maximum sad.

Sounds like a heart-breaking news update. Can't say I saw that coming. The Rockets will definitely take a hit because of it. Where does Jeremy Lin fit now? What do you do with him? I don't want a disgruntled player on the team. Should we explore trades? Call up Machado? Or will Lin be happy to pair up with Cook instead of Chandler? I may be getting ahead here though, perhaps chandler and his gf won't last long.
Just a few more points from the vid. Chandler Parsons strain at ac joint doing rehabbing cp think it wont get worse,in fact in a lvl he can tolerate.still very sore. more worry about physical things eg fight thru screens than his shot btw u can see lin c & shoot on delfino vid
Parsons is tough! But hopefully the coachs will give him a break and let him rest for a couple of games. Even though he wants to play that we all understand. Don't overuse it. We have to think long-term. What's the purpose if he can't fight through screens and has to struggle with a hurt shoulder? It's not good for either the team or himself. Teams need to protect their assets. So please rest him tomorrow!!!
hmm although they're trying to be optimistic, I still don't think he'll play tomorrow. No sense in risking it really. We'll have to live with 40 minutes of Chuckfino...or Cook, pick your poison
