    If that happens, Patterson should get a ring and a playoff share.

    Bonzi Wells is many things, but shying away from boos from fans is probably not something he would be interested in. I am sure he would love to play against them again and the boos will probably make him play with even more of an edge than he already has. But it should be interesting to see if Artest follows up on his death threat though.

    I think he sees the way the team is playing and wants to get back into the rotation before there isn't a spot for him.

    Lock up John Patterson as long as we have Tracy! That would be our x Factor.

    I have two herniated discs and I've tried everything short of surgery to this point. I just found Patterson's number, I'm seriously thinking about giving this guy a call and making a trip to Waco. I have a feeling his fee is pretty high though, especially with all the pub he is getting right now.

    Back problems may be traditional medicine's greatest failure. And it's not just my personal experience that supports that assessment; clinical research bears it out also. I don't understand why.

    MDs just wanted to do was provide me w/ painkillers. How exactly are you supposed to live and work? They introduced a therapy akin to the rack a fews years back to gently stretch the spine to realign it, but I don't believe that it's widely used.

    I had much more success with a chiropractor who explained to me (very logically and simply) the physiology and cure for what was occuring (it originated from my knee surgery). An inversion bench has also helped me cure and avoid back problems.

    I would tend to agree w/ that assessment.

    I bet he was trained by Mr. Miaggi. I can just see him making Tmac admit why he needs to be on the court, and getting Bonzi to break down, before manually "close-a eye" and then slapping his hands together loudly and rubbing them together vigorously to generate the all healing heat.

    I hope this guy is not a chiropractor.

    Does chiropractic relieve pain better than no treatment? Yes.
    Does chiropractic relieve pain better than massage? No.
    Can chiropractic prevent disease? No.
    Does chiropractic work the way its practitioners claim? No.
    Conclusion: manipulation of any kind provides short-term relief of neck and back pain.

    Chiropractic originated in 1895 with an accidental discovery by a grocer in Iowa. D.D. Palmer manipulated a lump in the spine of a worker and the man's hearing problem cleared up. From this one sample, Palmer concluded that the spine was the center of everything. Misalignments of the spine could, he figured, cause all kinds of diseases. Read this good description for the details.

    A question arose about why chiropractic was included in insurance plans. This was not always the case. A lobbying effort by chiropractors got laws changed so chiropractic COULD be covered by insurance.

    Chiropractic manipulation of the neck caused fatal strokes in 45-year-old Lana Dale Lewis in 1996, and 21-year-old Laurie Jean Mathiason in 1998.

    I'm heading to the Rockets/Nuggets game this friday and I'm seriously considering making a sign that says something like, "John Patterson for President" or "John Patterson in '08". The man has just been a huge reason that the Rockets are where they are.

    I'm not really arguing for or against chiropractic in general, but I guarantee there have been more than 2 deaths in the past 10 years as a result of medical malpractice by an M.D. (just found this with a quick Google search)

    That just doesn't seem like a very compelling argument to debunk a whole field of therapy.

    And I also like the way that you may dismiss the results John Patterson has gotten in the event that you discover he's a chiropractor.

    That just kind of funny to me.
