Just shut him down, don't give everyone hope about this. I get it, he wants to get back and everyone does, but I don't want to guess if he's gonna get on the court today or not.
Shut him down because Keith Jones is suspect at managing our players health. Outside of Harden, we have a bad track record going back 2 decades with our players health. Injuries are always worse than they appear in Houston
They should both fire Keith Jones and not play Christian Wood until his ankle is pain free. All they are playing for at this point is player development and improving their odds of keeping their pick by landing inside the top 4.
Yeah, I personally and morally don’t like to champion the termination of another mans job(especially a black man) but i can honestly say I wouldn’t be mad. If Keith Jones wasn’t on our sidelines anymore. We’ve just had a tough time with injuries since he’s been the the head trainer in Houston. how many times are we going to say if we were healthy.... that’s like the main theme of our franchise the last two decades. Our two best seasons were derailed by injuries
C-Wood's pain (or "pain") is a good way to keep him off the court. To be fair, his foot was practically parallel to the ground; 't'weren't no perpendicular about it. Let that ankle heal while the tank thrives.
I say keep him out. **** it. Although I would like to see him back on the court just from a morale standpoint.
How idiotic. All you posters that liked this too, dunce caps for all of you, and I'm tempted to strip your Houston credentials for a while. Kieth Jones is one of the very best in the business. Gerald Green the Mayor frowns in your general direction.
Harden is just built differently. Every houston sad story ends with "if only ________ was healthy" that can be Paul or luc recently but before that it was tmac and yao.
KPJ and Wood better not **** up my top 4 pick I think it’s great to get KPJ/Wood/Tate/Martin as much playing time as possible for chemistry. This season is a wrap but we will hit the ground running next season
Keith Jones is by no means the embodiment of Portland or Orlando's training staff... but if Christian Wood turns into a Grant Hill lite...
luckily the schedule is brutal the rest of the way, so the rockets just need to be at a .300% win percentage.
What was bullshit was letting him return after half time after the first sprain and a game or two later Worst move by Silas
Blaming injuries on Keith Jones is stupid. Guess you can blame Thunder Trainer when Bev ran into WB knee GS Trainer for Steps Klay KD Cousins injuries too huh?
Does that mean Dipo won't play and we won't have him getting in the way of the KPJ / Wood pick and roll? Please baby Jesus, grant us our wish (plus number 18 amirite @Os Trigonum )
I agree. People always rag on Jones as if other teams' players aren't injured all the time too. We were spoiled because Harden was an extremely durable superstar. If we are going to blame Jones for injury-prone players being injured, shouldn't he get credit for Harden never missing games over 8 years?
18 is big. 18 is HUGE. 18 is like Legal-Coming-Of-Age significant Like a fully mature tank job in the beautiful bloom of its tankadelic prime
