    If there was such a thing as 10 day contract superstars. I'd like us to sign 5 of them now to help us. These injuries are just so saddening. (T_T)

    Well, this was expected but seriously...this injury plague is getting sort of mindnumbing now.

    Scola, Alston, Brooks, Landry, and Wafer....we need them to play good games tomorrow to win.

    If Tmac is joining the trip, I hope he's fine enough to get some PT. As some of the other fans, I also hope to see Francis make his debut after his long injury break and use some of his experience to give us some advantage.

    Man, these injuries so far have been frustrating. Let's just hope this is our team and its players getting all their injury problems out of the way for a relatively injury free playoff run.

    And God forbid if Yao Ming were to get injured right around now...

    But yeah... with Artest out a few games, I think it's time to call on the Franchise to get back into the game. It's time he makes his comeback!

    It is early, in the season, team hasn't been great but I belive WE CAN survive without him. But it is really time when he HAS TO SIT. He needs week, 2 weeks. Oh hell, I don't care now. If you have to, than sit. We need you healthly when it counts.

    Btw we all know Artest. He knows it will be tough to win without him and T-Mac. So I belive he talked to Tracy. Tracy said: 'I am gonna play, so you can sit'

    I think this is what happened too....Ron alluded to saying he would rest when Tmac comes back......they are just the new tag team duo of the NBA.

    Tag..you are in now......

    Now you all know why we HAVE TO keep head. You think having tmac/artest/battier/barry is deep enough?

    I hope T-Mac stays home, after Artest is out 2 games, ide like the Rockets to play the way they did the 1st and 4th quarter against Atlanta and prove to T-mac they dont need him anymore, then maybe he will get thru his head and either bring it or leave.

    Great thinking. Luther is the one guy that can save us. He can't shoot, he can't take care of the ball, and he looks confused when he's playing. Luther is definetely the answer.

    I really hope so, just to either see if he :

    a. has anything left and can help

    or

    b. let us know that he is done.

    So you would rather T-Mac go and suit up and play the 2 games artest is out and then play the "i didnt have enough time to heal properly" card for the rest of the season? yeah there is a good chance without both T-mac and Ron that we could lose, all the other team has to do is front Yao and make Luther Head jack up bad shots all night. But i would rather deal with 2 losses, and T-Mac coming back when hes ready, its not like hes been much of a help on a regular basis even when he was playing, what makes anyone think he will do anything productive these 2 games?

    Agreed. I'd rather be safe with Tracy and keep him resting and lose 2 games, rather than him coming back too early and taking another month off in the future.

    once again, it's fans SPECULATING just to find another reason to bash the guy.

    when did tracy say (or the team) he's going to play on this road trip? the guy can't make the trip to support his team?

    tracy did make the road trip to the denver game a few weeks ago but he just didn't come out to the bench.

    jon feign says most likely he's not going to play. the best bet is around the 23rd or something like that.

    If he wants to support his team, he can do that from Houston, getting his mind right and ready to play. He's turning into nothing more than a 21mil/year distraction right now. I think T-Mac is one of the most talented players in the NBA, i would love for him to come back and show us what he has left, but i dont want to hear anything else about him, see him or anything until hes suited up and playing again. Enough of this hes going on the trip, hes not going, we dont know if hes going to play, doctors said its ok, but he doesnt think he can crap. Get over it, come back when you come back, if you want to do something physically to help the team, shoot some free throws.

    So you want Tracy to be in Houston and not join his teammates? If he did do that, he'd get criticized for not joining his teammates on the bench. He is getting it from both ends.
