    so much for "proper running form" as the solution to the injury woes, huh.

    Agreed. I love Shane, but think the rockets should trade him for a young talent soon.

    I think Joey Graham is good. He can play defense.

    No surprise here. The season is about to start. It's a Rockets routine injury curse. I swear it has to do with certain team personnel again. Maybe seeing Tmac's lazy eyes cause players to be lazy and therefore prone to injury since they tend to relax?

    So far all I've read is "tweaked hammy". That could mean anything, from he's fine tomorrow to he's out till november and on top of that the cause could be any number of things. Age makes no difference. Either way it's a bit early to question his durability based on this news.

    Rush got picked up already. Can't remember by who though.

    And it befuddles me that Joey is unsigned but his bro, Stephen ( a current Rocket) is.

    Speechless. Move him before it's too late, Yao & McGrady situations ring a bell?

    One-year non-guaranteed contract worth $884,881. Flip Murray got picked up by the Bobcats.

    eh??? whats the nonguaranteed part gonna make a difference in??? Seeing as we just traded James White to that exact team to give him a better chance of getting a spot on the team I certainly dont think we're gonna add another clone of the same player we traded away back from the same team we traded to...

    How did we end up with less than 15 healthy bodies? Didn't we have a signage overload of non-guaranteed contracts?

    As I remember we signed:
    Mccants
    Pops Bonsu
    Will Conroy
    Temple

    to non-guaranteed contracts. Considering we still have Barry and Cook who else got injured besides Mccants, McGrady and Battier?

    The non-guaranteed part makes a difference because he's not technically locked up. I wouldn't call James White a Joey Graham clone either...

    I dont think its a coincidence .. the team should start taking precautionary measure .. like practices that reduce the likelyhood of getting injured ..

    when will this curse ever go away ..
