    I heard this time it's his rotator cuff. I've given this guy every break but I think I'm gonna have to finally put him on the "all-time bust" list.

    He was already out for that same reason. Only difference, now he is "officialy" on IR.

    Funny, i remember Iverson playing the end of last season and the playoffs with a partially torn rotator cuff.

    Guess iverson isn´t made of butter.

    You would think the guy was a pitcher for MLB. A rotator cuff injury in basketball.

    ABSURD!

    Maybe he should lay off the weight lifting. It hasn't done a thing for him....and it may make him injured AGAIN.

    First person to say "Ralph Sampson" gets a fat lip.

    Maybe this is a thread in and of itself.

    Tony Massenberg
    Rodrick Rhodes

    Well Iverson is to stubborn to STOP playing and heal! I doubt if people would be praising Iverson's "toughness" if he would have caused further damage to his rotator cuff and sat out the rest of the season, or even ruined his career! Besides if you go by that line of thinking Francis is soft for sitting out with a sprained ankle. These injuries aren't something to play with.

    Ralph Sampson

    #1 of all time for *any* NBA team. In fact, he's on a list all to himself for biggest busts, like Dolly Parton.

    CBFC...Thank you Sir, may I have another.

    Cato really is a piece of ****! What a pansy. This guy has the potential to be a player on the same level as Mutombo but has less of a heart than the tin man.

    I don't blame Rudy for signing him to the contract he did because of the way he played when we first got him. I actually thought the contract we signed him to was a steal. Our only hope is that somehow we can find another sucker team out there to trade him to.

    Cato is out 10-14 days. That was the scheduled time-table given on January 16.

    in the slightest defense of Cato,

    Hakeem had no room on the active roster to come off of IR. Can someone just go hit Bullard's shins with a baseball bat, so we can move on and not have to keep doing this revolving door IR stuff?

    Lay off Cato. He's injured. It's not his fault. He is not a piece of tofu, or a piece of ****, or a pansy for being injured. He is not a bad person for being injured. Furthermore, he is not a bad player for being injured.

    Yes, and keep Bullard on the injured list, forever. Never again do I want to see him attempt to play defense, especially in the fourth quarter. He has one skill, and he hasn't been doing that very well lately.

    How can you call them busts?

    Massenburg was a cap-filler in the francis deal.

    Rhodes was a 24th pick!, Many people call him a bust, but 24th picks shouldn't be expected to be great. IMO, in most cases after the 15th pick there are a select few that get a steady job with a team.
