    I'm pretty sure we just cut a 19 point lead without him. We'll be fine.

    I hope he gets well soon, and it's not as serious as it looked.

    Playing on an a hamstring injury is dangerous, but Rafer is a gamer. He played his heart out in this series, and I have nothing but respect for the man.

    The way I see it, better to get it looked at now rather than later. Get the best care available immediately. Unfortunately, it's in Utah :eek:

    ...I hope Rafer shut up the idiots who sincerely beleived the Rockets were "a better team without him." and would do better without his "piss-poor shooting."...Rafer was doing badly though, but it's hard to see Houston winning in Game 7 without him if they reach it.

    Blinebury says it's his ankle and not his hamstring. If it ain't one thing it's another.

    Uh-oh...

    It's okay if Adelman is comfortable with Brooks playing the 1 thru the facilitation by TMAC.

    Very severe sprain, no broken ankle.

    Very swollen also...

    Damn... No game 7 for Rafer.
