Gee!!! Battier not sure when he will be back, Aaron Brooks out 1-3 weeks, etc. etc. etc. I know this guy has been our trainer for many seasons, but doesnt he seem to have a trend of injured players. I am no pro on health training, but when the hell with this stop!!!
Lol I wonder if its possible if you can trade trainers. Imagine that. Rockets trade their trainer for Phoenix Suns Trainer. That guy is amazing. He helped Grant Hill. Imagine what he can do with Yao and his foot problems, Tracy McGrady shoulder, knee , and back , Steve Francis everyone
That reminds me of that scrub TV show, where that really bad doctor become a pathologist. Maybe they just want somebody seen a lot of "injuries", and Keith Jones fits the profile. Since Keith Jones is a bad doctor, he has failed to prevent/ or caused many injuries. Thus he now has more experiences. But Rockets paid the ultimate price of not be able to keep their players health.
Uh what? Stoudemire is injured and Nash just suffered a sprained ankle. Last year alone Bell, Hill and Shaq missed games because of injuries. I know injury prevention is something trainers stress but they happen. There is no 100% way to prevent injuries unless you just stop playing.
This is probably just frustration from all of our injuries but for some reason our players never come back sooner than expected from injuries , they usually take much loner than expected. Last year it was T-Mac and Landry with their knees , with T-Mac if I am not mistaken they initally said it's just a bone bruise , let him play a little and when he complained more than they discovered a strained tendon. Why didn't they discover that right away?
It was a joke relax. Also He helped Grant Hill in his first year with the Suns. I believe Hill contributed to the team well even though they didn't do so well. Amare came back strong after his knee surgery and was the dominate man he was before the injury. Steve Nash just suffered a sprained ankle ok but how many other injuries did he have previous this one and besides the sore back which he still continues 2 play. Another reason for our possible injuries may have 2 do with Coach. He just needs to cut down on some of the players minutes. If we are blowing a team out there is no need for him to take our star players out with 2 minutes left in the game. That is just uncalled for.
Keith Jones is an amazing trainer. Being a good trainer doesn't mean we won't have any more injuries. It's not like he could magically stop Yao's foot problems, a random bone bruise on Aaron Brooks, and surgery on T-Mac's knee. He's been chosen to be the USA National Team's trainer, and I'm sure he deserved that honor.
T-Mac was injury-prone before he came to the Rockets. Yao is injury-prone because he is 7'6. Battier has been durable his whole career including the time he's been with the Rockets. Even the most durable NBA players get injured from time to time. Those are the only injuries that anybody really cares about and they aren't the trainer's fault.
