    Actually I agree with thinking that this may be in the org's minds, Morey has mentioned staying healthy several times and apparently SportsVu can be used like practice accelerometers to gauge whether people are fully recovered from injuries (via Lowe and interviews with Knicks trainers). I wouldn't be surprised if the Rockets org has been doing this.

    I wonder, actually, if certain 'mysterious' benchings are related to this.

    It's obviously going to be a huge factor, since it's allowed them to develop some semblance of chemistry. Even though we've had some pretty major rotation changes over the course of the season, the four players that are the primary focus of what this team does have been able to play together for the majority of the year.

    If you'll remember, the Yao/McGrady teams played their best when there was certainty in the lineup, regardless of who was necessarily in that lineup.

    :grin: Haha... Isn't that the truth... haha... Also Patrick Patterson and Marcus Morris, Toney Douglas are out for the season. Yeah they aren't injured but they might as well be. If I told you those guys would be out half the season would you think we had much of a chance this season. ANd harden has been injured for a while along with some time off for Delfino and PPat earlier when he was with us. We've had are fair share of missing in action. And we are still hanging in there. Still I would agree with the OP wehave had less injuries this season but Morey isn't necessarily targeting players who can stay on the court longer. But he may be avoiding obvious injry prone players.

    So I guess all that means is Love is off the books.

    TJ also hurt and can not play after the trade. Our newly signed backup center hurt.

    Guess due to law of avg. we just return to normal.
