    Come on are you even a fan to say this..BTW Yao already injured himself in a preseason game so hopefully he can stay healthy for the remainder of the season. McGrady is already hurt not close to 100%. Ron is going to be Ron. Our whole core of guys needs to be healthy and Coach needs to lower the minutes on certain guys.

    Seriously, please remind me about the injury record at his previous stops. Sometimes coaches create practices and training, minutes or whatever which seem to make their teams injury prone.

    I don't give a damn about Francis... It sure does seem like it's never too late to rule our Luther Head huh?

    LOL ... Brooks is probably closer to playing than Francis right now. Francis hasn't even participated in a practice yet.

    This is ridiculous... I'm just thankful at this point because it's not one of the big 3!

    A chance for Francis to steal a spot on the roster.

    Battier - out until ??
    Brooks - out up to 3 weeks
    McGrady - looked very gimpy in the last preseason game, could miss a game or two to start the season
    Francis - not even practicing

    That leaves us with 10 players at 100% for the first game.

    Barry - 37 yrs old, played only 31 games last season

    Let the mass hysteria begin!

    I got that, but I wasn't. Does anyone recall his 'record' on the subject in previous stops? :confused:

    GD it, why did we keep Francis over Strawberry?!

    Sure would be nice to have a backup point guard who knows the offense going into the first game of the season.

    Cut Francis RIGHT NOW and bring back Strawberry!!!!

    Brooks and Shane who was healthy almost all season long last year now get injured..We know that eventually (hope not) both Tmac and Yao is vulnerable to injuries..God help us.. we never had a team as great as this in the past few years..... :( :( :( :( :( :(

    Must have happened when Yao stepped on his foot and looked like he injured himself in that game against the kings. Yao stepped on AB's foot getting a rebound. Bad luck.

    Luther Head handling point guard duties is kind of fitting being as Halloween is just around the corner.
