    I think they both wear the same shoes. Nike hyperfuse low-cut.

    His ankle's probably weak from rolling it yesterday. Hope it's nothing serious.

    time for Tdougie to show he is on harden and lin's level...only for him to sprain his ankle after scoring 29.

    Sit out the game vs. Wizards if it's not 100%! We need him against Rondo, no need to force things.

    It's those low top Hypergamer's that Lin and Harden wear. They need some ankle support!

    technically too much ankle support leads to knee issues...more than likely they were just freak accidents. Shoes aren't going to stop the force of someone pushing you or landing on someone's foot.

    i would think all professional basketball players would tape-up their ankles as well.

    No way... they dont look cool bro.

    FYI... serious note- I had to give up on Nikes' a few years ago on doctors orders. I had some major back & knee issues(at 26) that were contributed to the type of basketball shoes I had been wearing all my life. Having the right kind of shoes seems like something silly, but in reality Its serious business to your health.

    That is the thing about ankle injuries. You can never predict them nor prevent them. Even with good shoes and a tight wrapped ankle, you still can't really prevent an ankle injury. Its just unfortunate...

    But at the end, its better to roll your ankle than to over wrap them which would in turn, causes problems in the knees down the road. Ankle injuries can be walked off depending on the severity of it. If Lin is able to walk off then its not that severe.

    Jeremy needs to play if he's at least 85% otherwise he has no heart and no gratitude for the city.

    Without Lin in the way, Harden will drop 81 on the Wizards tomorrow.

    Jope it's nothing serious though.

    I have to say, for over a decade, Rockets is like a cursed team, too many things happened, especailly when we had Mac and Yao...
