INJURY UPDATES: Good news on Battier, T-Mac, Yao and Artest

Drunk Goat definitely had drunk a lot before he started this thread, becasue he didn't distinguish the bad news from the goods. The only bad news is that tmac has practiced.

 

Hopefully McGrady is feeling good and he will play against Dalas. We need to win this one and if we wanna do that, we definatly need Tracy.

But as Mat Bullard said, this injury happend because Tracy was 'cold'. And I agree with that. T-Mac just can't sit on the chair and wait for the start of the game. He needs to warm up, warm up and warm up. I remember this happend 2 season ago in Washington. I belive they had a problem with the light, other players were warming up and Tracy was just sitting, waiting...And than he went out with back spasms.

That is what is it. He needs to prepare his leg, body for the game. He needs to warm up maybe even longer than the whole team does. The knee, muscles need to be prepared. So hopefully he will start doing that since now.

But what is the best news is that only few hours after he tweaked his knee he was able to run normally, without any sharp pain or anything like that. That is great news, that means this injury was not serious at all (in Oklahoma City).

 

Vspan sucking it up big time wasnt hurting the Rox? Its not like you were the biggest Vspan nut hugger in the world. Oh wait the fact that he shot worse then Rafer didnt hurt the team nearly as much as the fact he turned it over every other time he had the ball did. Im still in fear of the day he joins the Spurs and dominates the NBA once a coach who knows how to properly use him gets a chance.

As for .07 that equals 7 percentage points. If I had put .7 that would equal 70 percentage points. Last I checked, 43 percent and 36 percent were roughly 7 percentage points apart. So unless Brooks is shooting 106% from the field, my math was just fine.

So I will go back to the universe were math and my points make sense and you can go back to the universe were you pretend you understand everything. Next time you should do some research. I say start with about 5th grade math.

Bummer for you though.........

 

Corrected. You research math, I will research spelling.

 

LOL - go back and read again, all I EVER said was Rafer sucks and V-Span should get some time to find out if he was part of the future. Yet, somehow it gets twisted into me thinking he was the best thing ever.....lol whatever.

So you actually are making an argument that Brooks is only shooting 7% better?

Is that what you are actually saying?

I mean really?

Because if it is..that is the worst attempt at a point ever made on this bbs..you get the prize.....7% is a HUGE difference.....unreal.

Yeah, you go back into your cave, and stay there. Because frankly you don't know squat about the game of basketball.

Maybe if you paid attention to my posts you might educate yourself.....

Bummer for you though, son.

We all KNOW that when the playoffs emerge, we will see a different Tracy. He has always stepped up BIG when it matters. Although the team broke down the last couple of years, this year should be different. So who cares what Tracy says? He is one of the best playoff performers in the history of NBA (first round that is). Let him talk, let him play princess and the dragon, we all know that come April he will do what he always does in the playoffs.

 

Whats up with the bummers? You both got bummered, so counter-bummering goes nowhere.

Bummer isn't it?

 

If you have a double bummer does that equal a Yippee?

Yeah, he needs to get on a bike while he is resting on the bench, keep his knees warm.

 

not when he is on the bench but before the 2nd half. I am pretty sure he is warming up before the 1st so he needs to repeat before the 2nd.

 

Moral of this story: STOP GOING TO GAMES!

 

Of course I wish Rafer shot 7 percent better, but if someone reads your posts it would seem that Brooks was shooting 30 percent better then Rafer.

Here is what I know, Rafer has made 29 of 79 shots. Brooks has made 40 of 92 shots. So if Rafer shot approximately the same percentage as Brooks he would be about 34 of 79. That is a total of 5 baskets for a total of roughly 10 points. That is 10 points in the 9 games he has played or roughly 1 point per game.

If you are saying that 1 point per game is a huge difference then so be it. Yes I understand that stats dont always tell the story but they do mean something, and in this case they mean the 7 percent Rafer shoots less then Brooks is not a monster problem.

As bad as you think Alston is, the Rox will never win or lose anything based on his play. Yao, Tmac, and Artest are the reason this team will succeed or fail.

Finally, if I paid attention to your posts, I would probably think that I hated the Rox not that I was devoted to them.

 

Great news. Now we can really see what our team's made of. Blast off rockets!

 

Fair enough

Different style of fandom I guess. I cheer like mad, but am not afraid to call out players who are stinking.

BRACE YOURSELVES!

 

im predicting that Dek will be in uniform next week

 

This is prob old news but on ESPN T-Mac said he WILL play tonight,.

 

Great news, thank you very much anyway. How about Yao?

 

This scares me. Did it scare anyone else?
