    This thread sucks.

    I feel bad for David, but hopefully this will help us sneak into the playoffs. I don't see a major drop off with Landry backing him up, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if CP3 picked up his game quite a bit and sends them into the playoffs.

    Don't sleep on PHX, they just got healthy and have the tie braker beteen us and them. If NO slips out, PHX could get in.

    I feel sorry for him but my sympathy stops there. No one on gods green earth can look at me (a rockets fan) with a straight face and complain about an injury to a star player. I'd go half past ballistic.

    That didn't look so bad. He should have just walked it off, i think he's being a bit dramatic.

    ^ This.....

    I have a hard time believing people outside of Houston felt bad for Yao/Rockets when he went down with all those foot injuries......

    Some people here just argue for the sake of arguing....it gets old after a while

    Good call, you're a genius

    :grin:


    Tough for West, but i'm definitely also thinking this may give Houston the break it needs to secure a post. I'd feel more confident knowing Landry wasn't the fill-in. This situation is the kid that he'd excel in.

    Don't forget about the 1.3 billion people in China. I'm sure some of them felt bad for Yao when he went down. But I know what you're saying.

    I think the Hornets will still make the playoffs. They have a lot of depth upfront and they will be playing a lot of struggling teams or teams that will fold (jazz/mavs). Now if Paul went down....

    Mavs are gonna fold? They are trying to compete with the Lakers for the 2nd seed

    i think they play the mavs the last game of the season - the assumption here is that home court will be decided by then
