    Ugh... I thought from the review that this looked like a "monther." Coach needs extra bodies.

    I'd say pretty lucky he didn't break that bad boy...2-3 weeks is not really that bad.

    Expected. That was a nasty sprain. Been there and done that. Budingers sprain had to have drawn some tears in his eyes.

    It's time to forget about holding onto for that pie in the sky super star player at the trade deadline.

    This is the right time to move McGrady.

    Sometimes a 3rd degree ankle sprain is worse than breaking your ankle.....or so I've heard. I have no idea what degree sprain his ankle is....

    My thoughts, and regrettably my experiences, as well. :eek:

    I just hope a full recovery for Chase. (But I guess this proves Landry's mouth is tougher than Budinger's foot.)

    Yeah, it is. He must have a 2nd degree otherwise he would be out for a lot longer.

    Get well soon Chase.

    Man watching the replay made hurt so bad, i'd say we're lucky he didnt break any bone, it was such a awkward landing.

    Guess its meant to be for T-mac to come out and show what he can do now.

    Damn... I expect Bud to actually miss more then that, maybe 3 weeks? I'm guessing McGrady's minutes will go up to around 16-20?

    Tmac time. I've had so many ankle injuries, I feel what he feels. I feel bad for him, but we now we need people to step up.

    Why??? So the team can avoid losing a couple of games in December/January of a season in which the Rockets are not contenders?

    If Morey thinks there is even the slightest (realistic) chance that T-Mac's contract could be moved in February for a substantial future piece of the "franchise puzzle", he will not jeopardize that to avoid a couple of losses in the short term.

    Better to take your chances (for now) giving Battier and T-Mac a few extra minutes, along with a few spare minutes from Jermaine Taylor. It's not like Chase was playing 30+ minutes a night.
