    Looks like Al Thornton just got promoted. Too bad about Brand -- I wish him a speedy, 100% recovery.

    for you to rate them accordingly and to not respond if you don't have anything worthwhile for other posters to read. ;)

    though i'm guilty of this myself.

    There are already two threads about this in the GARM. I'm sure the Mavs, Spurs, Suns, etc etc fans are all saying they are going to get 4 more wins. So are the Clippers going to go 0-82?

    Although I respect and enjoy denniscd's insider information, I sometimes wonder why he starts threads like these (I believe he made one after the KG trade also).

    Well the Rockets play the Clips 3 times this season - twice in April.

    First Livingston, now Brand.

    The Clippers are truly cursed. Looks like Francis made the smart decision.

    LOL ... this should be quite obvious to any fan who is following the team, shouldn't it?

    In all likelihood, the Rockets are not gonna compete against the Clippers for the last playoff spot. In other words, we are not even remotely close to be in need of feeling guiltily gleeful that our "chief nemesis" are going to be without their best player.

    Further, if one has checked our schedule for the new season (http://www.nba.com/schedules/?team=rockets#), he/she will realize that Clippers' loss may actually help other teams more than the Rockets, assuming Brand is out for the whole season. The reason is the Rockets are scheduled to play against the Clippers only 3 times this season, while many other WC rivals will do 4.

    Ooops, denniscd.

    Holy cow... is he out until May?

    And he ruptured it in his daily work out too.

    I hope nothing happens to any of our stars when they do their own workouts....

    I just heard on 570 AM in Los Angeles that he is going into surgery ASAP and the as of right now, the Clippers reported that at the earliest he will be out for 6 months! OUCH! So the Clippers won't be playing with Brand in the line-up until January at the earliest.

    That really sucks b/c I actually enjoy Brand's game and it's fun watching him and Yao go at it. I remember when I went to the December game and they were going almost point for point at one point in the 2nd half. But Yao bad that great jumper at the end and yelled those now famous words: Try to ****ing stop me!
