He's playing basketball! He's not on his knees, working a double-shift, laying cement in the hot sun. He's playing basketball. He should get down on that hurt knee and thank God he's playing basketball for a living and someone actually is paying him millions and millions — or in other cases, hundreds of thousands at the minimum — to play basketball.

If you have to rest your knee to play basketball … I can understand resting your knee if you’ve done three double shifts laying cement and then I go home. I understand that. I don’t understand resting your knee to be able to come out and play basketball for a living. If you have to do that, you’re in the wrong sport. You’re doing the wrong thing.

Chandler, get your ass out there and play.

Luol can do all.

Rockets can't afford to rest too many players when the bench is as terrible as it has been. Garcia and Casspi can't do half the things Parsons does for this team. With D-Mo going back to the D-League now the rotations are going to get even shorter. Beverly and Asik need to come back in a bad way.

Wouldn't surprise if McHale said something along those lines.

I don't know why he keeps bringing up thanking God you're playing basketball for a living. The players dedicated their time and worked their asses off to get where they are. Stop trying to make them little b****es if they're tired or injured. Last time I check, McHale didn't average 40mpg his whole career either.

Act like you can run your players to the ground. Can't wait for a new coach.

This and his back issue is going to put a lot of pressure on the other knee. We need to rest this dude. We have Garcia and Brewer, we can manage a few games without Parsons at the beginning of the season.

Can Les write a check and steal the Arizona Phoenix medical squad away from them? They have the secret to prolonging player's careers there.

This better not be a bad injury, I swear, I already talked
about running our players into the ground here:

If we go through another Yao/Tmac because we won't shut down our
injured players, we are seriously inexcusably stupid. This season isn't the
be all end all for us.

Update from NBA.com:

The Rockets seemingly perpetual ride aboard the injury roller coaster continued today, as Chandler Parsons and Greg Smith were both forced to cut their practice time short due to knee issues.

Smith, of course, has battled persistent issues in that area ever since spraining his right knee during Houston’s November 14 game against the Knicks. As a result, he’s only played in nine games this season and though this latest setback is not believed to be serious, the Rockets were not in the mood to take any chances when his knee began bothering him again during Monday’s workout.

Parsons’ issue, on the other, hand, is a relatively new ailment. He first sustained the injury during last Thursday’s practice when he collided knee-to-knee with Terrence Jones. At the time, he says he thought so little of it that he didn’t even seek treatment for it afterward, and said he felt minimal discomfort while playing 44 minutes against the Knicks one day later. Yesterday, however, he noticed that the affected area had begun to become increasingly troublesome.

“I came to get some shots up yesterday and was really sore,” Parsons said Monday afternoon. “I got an MRI this morning and it didn’t show anything except that my knees looked really good and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it which is awesome.”

The other good news in all of this is that the Rockets don’t play again until Wednesday, though it’s too early to tell if that will provide enough recovery time for Parsons. Smith hopes to be back in time for tomorrow’s practice, but Parsons said if Houston had a game Monday night there would be no way he would have been able to play. He is hopeful, however, that diligent and aggressive rehab will have him back on the court in time for the Rockets’ Wednesday night date with the Lakers.

Sometimes, I do wish we traded Asik for Thaddeus Young or Lee + Bass.

yeah, I was salivating when that speculation first came out. Danny Ainge was clearly not having that.

repped. spot on. cant wait the get rid of this scrub. Rox should really learn a lesson from Yao and Tmac's eventually career ending injuries. Daryl should put a leash on Mchale unless the former is hoping the latter to create jobs for him to hunt new talents.

Rip Van Rocket · Jan 6, 2014

The injury happened in practice not during a game. Are the Rockets not supposed to practice? Every thread turns into a McHale bashing thread around here. Star players play a lot of minutes in this league, it's not just the Rockets. You guys just want to blame everything on McHale even when he is not to blame. Are the Rockets not supposed to practice? They have four days off between games.

I'm glad it wasn't a thigh bruise. Those are season enders
