[Chron]Back surgery could sideline Sura for season

"DALLAS - The Rockets' hopes that guard Bob <b>Sura</b> could come back from the inactive list to bring the lift he did after last season's similar slow start have grown<b> faint.</b>"


Feigen, you're my hero. AMAZING. We owe you.

Oh, and by the way that sucks about his back.

 

man. This totally sucks. I don't know about this team.

 

Possible? Hmmm... that could range from 5% to 80%

Man oh man, I hope this surgery turns out ok for Sura. Both for the team's sake and the sake of his family. OK, mostly for the team's sake. *sends good vibes*

 

When I saw the title my mind for some reason read McGrady in place of Sura and my heart literally skipped two beats.

 

Same here. Scary, but this is still bad.

 

This is bad news, I love Sura's b-ball game. Damn.

 

I had no idea glover was injured. And now for the season too. Crazy. So much for all our depth with our guards.

The worst possible thing that could happen....is happening.

Bring in Latrel!!!!!1

 

can rockets apply for salary relief for both sura and glover if they are out for the season???

 

I hate to say this but Latrell is looking better and better.

 

man that sucks for sura. i really feel bad for the guy. he is going to be in horrible shape by the time he is 50. crazy seeing how injuries just wreck a guy who is atheletic as he was.

 

Not to downplay the importance to Sura and his family (because that is terrible, and I feel for him), but this really blows for the Rockets. Watching them somewhat struggle this year has been painful, but I kept remembering that we'd have Sura back soon. I know he is the glue that holds this team together, but we are definitely better with him. So by not having him all year, I think we just took a couple steps down in the top 8 at the end of the season. Even if he's not out the entire season, we'll still suffer for it. I'm still expecting us to make the playoffs, but as far as how far we get...now I'm not so sure.

 

This is too much for Sura, being in the Year of the Knives. I wish him well.

Bob, quit playing bastketball. If you're single, get a wife and have some
kids. There's more to life than playing basketball.

 

mark my word, he'll be joining before this month ends.

 

i knew bob wasn't coming back. i don't think he will ever come back. we have to move on and hope that tmac or yao become the firey leader, and the attack dog that bob was.


as for signing spree:

how does that replace bob? he can't play point. we have plenty of swingmen already. tmac, bowen, DA, JB, wesley, head. all play either the 2 or the 3. there are no minutes.

if anything we have to hope tmac takes enough time off to be sure that he can finish the season and playoffs at 100%.

 

Bad news, now another back surgery. He is probably going to retire, multiple surgeries and reinjures himself in a workout He looks done. Spree is not going to be signed, he wants a 14M/2yr deal and would rather sit at home than play for the minimum. How about George Lynch?

 

Any doubt Feigen is reading this board?

Other than that, bad news.

 

That's what you get for dating too many fat chicks

I kid, I kid

Seriously though, before the beginning of the season I said the only thing to be concerned about are 'injuries' that could stop this team from even making the playoffs in the Western Conf. Sadly, this season seems to be headed in that exact direction.

 

Already conceding after less than a month? It has been a brutal month, to be sure, but everyone knew it would be. The season is a marathon, not a sprint, and we have plenty of time to make up ground. We may not vie for the 4 or 5 seeds, but if we miss the playoffs, I will be stunned.

 

Terrible news. We need Bobby Sura in the worst way. You know, it'll be a shame if all we ever get to see of Sura in a Rockets uniform was what we saw last season. I became such a big fan of him in such a short period. I hope he has some more healthy days with us.
