    Hate hearing these kind of injury updates.

    Also, too many people are throwing around the idea of future microfracture surgery.
    Ya'll do realize that if D12 ever gets micro then everything we've built goes up in smoke.

    Let's at least try to be a little optimistic. Dwight has had just a couple significant injuries in his NBA career. Let's hope it just some thing rest will cure. Maybe he came back too early from the last injury.

    Yes, but the Rockets aren't going anywhere without a healthy Dwight. The problem is it doesn't sound like he's gonna be healthy anytime soon. If he needs microfracture, he's done as a dominant player in this league(and likely as a Rocket after 2016 or 2017).

    Goddamnit...:(

    Sigh we may have to accept the fact that Howard will go the way of T-mac and really consider the possibility of DMo as your starting franchise center.

    Did it really help? Dwight never seemed like himself when he came back the first time around.

    He's the fourth, or fifth big man on the team. He's fine.

    That's because T-Jones hadn't played in nearly 3 months and Smith is better coming off the bench. If Dorsey is still starting after T-Jones has gotten back into game shape, then McHale needs his head examined.

    The only player you can throw out at the 5 that can even halfway handle it at an NBA level is DMo and you had Dorsey starting just yesterday. While he might be the 4th "big man" he's the only actual center....which is a problem.
