Per SR610, the ballclub is still in route back from Oakland. They won't have a better idea of Howard's prognosis until tonight or tomorrow morning. They said this was from someone with the Rockets.
Rock n Roll, Houston Texans! Is there a guy on radio worse than Mark Vandermeer? How pathetic is it when someone just manufactures a catch phrase? And a lame catch phrase at that?
Did they tour San Fran for fun today? Damn those Chinese resturants in bay area. LA has the best Chinese food outside China.
What did they all just crash at the Holiday Inn Express after the game instead of taking the team flight back to Houston?!?
As long as Howard is back before the WCF series against the Spurs. We can get away with playing Mcgrady at PF against teams like Pho, Dallas, and Seattle. we can get away with Sura at the small forward position and Mcgrady at the power forward postion. this team has enough bad asses to make up for the 9 points and 6 rebounds a game Howard gave them.
No way we want to play Tmac PF. We want play him SG if possible to exploit mismatch. Put Tmac at PF, it's a mismatch not favoring us.
you haven't been paying attention lately man. Van Gundy has played T-mac at the four spot at times. He did it in Seattle, in Golden State last night, and against Washington and Portland at home. Marion, how much does that dude weigh - he's a stick! Nowtzki, is he a post up player all of a sudden because T-Mac is guarding him? It can be done.
What we will miss from Juwon is his jumpshot on the offense. He keeps the defense honest and opens up the lane for TMac and Yao. However, I doubt that we'll lose too much on rebounding and defense if we replace Howard with Padget and Spoon. Now let's find a way to get Baker motivated. For a while last year he was playing really well with Boston. If he could get back to that level he can easily reaplce Juwon's production. I'm not holding my breath on this one, though.
He did it at times vs. lineups where the other team turned their PF into a jumpshooter - but if you force Tracy to guard Duncan, Stoudemire, Garnett, and even Brand & Boozer & Martin & the rest night in and night out you're going to put him in the hospital.
Thats the same as saying that they dont know the status of the injury...same as everyone here who is waiting for an official word from the Rockets or the team doctors..
Gary Trent? Yeah, if I need a pool cue broken across some guy's dome, he's the first one I'd sign. Otherwise ... maybe not so much.
No, NO,NO, NO! J-How is very important to this team. He's looked good lately in the post. He's been solid most all year. It's a BAD thing if he's out a long time. Even tinman should be sad about this. Please don't have a serious injury, and please get back soon, Juwan!
