LOL I get you guys are concerned but Dwight will be back. I thought If Dwight was more honest last night about the injury ,Capela could have taken his minutes and Rockets would have won. Starting Capela might even be a revelation for the Rockets. Rockets can do this. I believe. Some of you should show a little more confidence.
While they've had amazing luck this year don't forget the Warriors haven't been this far in the playoffs since the 70s. That's a long ass time for a fan of any franchise to wait for a good team.
Exactly. I'm going to be optimistic and hope Capela plays well when given more than 20 minutes. Maybe Jones shows up to. Rockets win yesterday if he did.
I don't think many doubt he will be back. I think many do justifiably question what he will look like when he is. Given that Dwight himself said he would be no help tomorrow if he felt like he did yesterday, this is not a far-fetched concern.
heard it on 610. shouldve mentioned it at the first place. they specifically said sth. like,,, he participated team practice today, and by participated i mean active on the court with a lot of activities,,, so there's that.
It's been a long-suffering fanbase, I agree. But I just wish they had to earn their way back to the Finals. They're basically knocking off a bunch of injured teams. And it ain't over yet. If they do win this series, they'll potentially have the Cavs waiting for them who are without Kevin Love and have a banged up Kyrie Irving. If the Rockets do get eliminated this round, I'm gonna be the world's biggest Atlanta Hawks fan from that point on. You wanna talk about a team that ain't done squat in decades? Try that franchise. At least the Warriors have won a title while in Oakland.
With this Injury he either has to go hard or go home. Nice being positive and all but on the court it's vital he plays a huge role in us winning. Getting this deep in the playoffs in the west isn't a given every year. Next year he could be hurt... he needs to play like there is no tomorow
There's no way, especially with a lot of activities. Treatment is more important than activities right now. Maybe they heard wrong and he was just testing it out.

How crazy would that be if Capela got the start? Dude just turned 21 last week. And how crazy would it be if the Rockets....nah, there's no way.
Easy for you to say. People thinking that Dwight wouldn't be out there if he could is just ridiculous. He played with no back and shoulder in LA. Dwight wants it as much or more than anyone.
This. You'd think that a team that was able to come back from 3-1 deficit has earned the confidence of our fans but... here we are.
Please explain how being concerned about the extent of Dwight's knee sprain = having no confidence in the Rockets as a team.
As much as people do not like Curry, the guy has been injury prone during the first few years of his career. I do agree with you that the Warriors have caught breaks during their playoff run. Pelicans first round, Tony Allen injury, now Dwight potential out. I guess luck had to pick the Warriors at some point.
Don't forget Mike Conley missing Game 1 of the Grizzlies series. Memphis won Game 2 when he came back. And they were on a roll til Allen got hurt. I'm not saying the Grizzlies would've won that series had those two been healthy, but it could've definitely gone 7. And we're already without D-Mo and Bev before the Dwight injury. Again, not blaming the Warriors. They didn't knock these players out. But I think it tarnishes this run if they do win the title, unless they wind up facing Atlanta in the Finals. At least that's a healthy 60-win team(aside from Horford's pinky).
