    If that is the case, Its only for 1 to 3 weeks. I'm shooting for 1 week so that is about 2 games max. The sky is not falling. Good news is that our big 3 should be good to go tonight.

    hopefully all these minor injuries take the place of the massive injury that seems to befall one of our main guys every year.

    Don't fret. It's early, and if Aaron Brooks is the make or break player on our team, we ARE in trouble. This is why we got Barry. If he can give you 20 mins/night, Rafer plays 30, T-Mac plays 28, and Head and Von Wafer split the rest. We'll be ok. If Francis comes back healthy though, it would be a HUGE boost to this team's depth. We just need an adequate 3rd string PG, and he could more than fill that role if he is healthy.

    Why do people want to cut Francis and bring back Strawberry. Strawberry had a 1 or 2 good games against lower notch competition. The team will be fine, IMO barry's and Head's minutes will go up.

    It's not going to happen because of financial reasons. But leaving that aside, if the Rockets could just replace Francis with Strawberry, I think think they would.

    agreed.

    i just hope Aaron doesn't lose his confidence over the course of his rest and rehab from the injury. he was just starting to look like he "got it".

    I dont want Luther Head ever handling the rock. The next pass he makes will be another turnover. He scares me beyond repair with the ball in his hands.

    eh, I am fine with Barry bringing up the ball and Head guarding the PG for he time being w/ the 2nd unit.
    you can never have too many long distance bombers around Yao...and maybe Head can play his way into increasing his trade value

    I think by now it should be pretty clear that Stevie Franchise is done...he isn't healthy...can't get in shape...and isn't even talked about by the coaching staff. In fact the Rockets organization avoids talking about him at all costs. So trying to say that there is the slightest possibility that Steve will be the answer to the Rockets injury stricken roster is ridiculous.

    For the love of all that is good and decent make the injuries stop...there is a freaking hex on this team. We really need that holy water McGrady was talking about.
