great article on ESPN, sorry I can't make threads but thought I'd share for those interested.

My son and I'll will be HOWLING from now on for anything game related to Beverley. Would love to see him Friday but I really hope he rests it a few extra days just to be on the safe side. In the mean time MORE CANNONBALL!

 

I would hope he doesn't play until the playoffs or the very last few games of the season. Don't want him or Dwight rushing back by any means.

 

Did Bev get some of Kobe's deer antler spray?

 

Shh! It was just Botox injections!

 

Dude, you know that ish isn't that funny. Before you know rumors turn into speculation, then investigations, and all because of a dumb rumors.

 

Did Patrick get some of Kobe's Nigerian teenager Achilles tendon graft?

 

That would have been cool with me, only the fact that they were discussing real
roids. Google Deer Antler...

 

Yeah, they said on TNT that it was tiny and it smoothed itself out and that Andrews would not even recommend surgery if it was the offseason.

Makes you wonder if it was really there at all.

The Rox are notorious for not getting it right, they let Yao play on a broken foot in the playoffs until it became unbearable.

Oh snap!!!!

Did he give a return date?

 

I really hope Bev is back soon. I'm cautiously optimistic with all the incoming news.

 

Man, all this stuff sounds shady. Meniscus healing itself in a weekend? No surgery? I wouldn't really trust the Rockets medical staff after the Yao and Tmac era.

 

7'6 300 pound dude with a history of foot fractures limping around on the court?


BETTER KEEP HIM IN RICK

 

I totally agree with this. That guy played Yao for 14 minute stretches at a time at an average of 37 mins per game in 09. That was on Rick.


That being said though, I do think there were some questionable things about the Rockets training staff during the Yao/T-Mac era. As for now though, it's a training staff, not a team of specialists. We should all be happy that he is not as badly injured as previously thought. I want to see an actual timetable for return soon hopefully.

 

He said he was ok, which is a good sign but you never know with these kind of things.

 

Bev came through big...again.

Great hustle and grit.

Most importantly, the heart of the team.

Great job Wolverine!

 

Just praying we don't get some bad news tomorrow.

 

I have the same thing as Bev, it's a small tear that catches you off guard depending on how and where you bend you knee.

 

Same thing he always says..I'm waiting until tomorrow..

 

You can't hurt Wolverine! You just can't!
