Dwight Howard receives bone marrow aspirate injection in his right knee

Does anyone else feel like asking if there is something wtong with our team Doctors and possible Conditioning coach.

 

I suggest everyone go read Mark Berman's timeline for quotes from Dr. Walt Lowe

having the same up and coming young fast pace team that fought with okc in the 1st round, plus $22mill or $30mill if morey wanted to trade lin that off season could've been a good option.

 

[rQUOTEr]Dr. Lowe on Dwight:

"The most important thing for Dwight is his pain is gone. That's more important than what the MRI is going to show me in 4 weeks. As long as we're seeing a combination of bone bruise gone away, symptoms being better then that's when we'll start the transition back to the court. What makes this heal is essentially rest.

I would certainly expect him before the playoffs...I hope we have quite a few games before the playoffs. I really expect him to recover and play again this season. [/rQUOTEr]

 

i think i just need to stop wasting my time following sports. so dissapointing

 

Those tweets were very encouraging, thanks for sharing...We're just gonna have to wait and see how he looks when he gets back on the court...I'm praying for the big fella!

 

The guy has arthritis. Team Doctors and Conditioning coach has nothing to do with it.

Get a clue

 

We need to call up Capela. Enough of Dorsey.

 

I have for some time

Rocket River

 

great news from the doc. good to hear. now focus on the bulls

 

Berman's quotes are encouraging, but you know they have a PR spin to them, coming from the team doctor.

I don't understand why they didn't lead previous reports with "There's nothing structurally wrong with his knee." There's no way they just concluded that today. Does any good come from withholding that information? Or did I miss a previous quote?

 

The thought of smacking down the Bulls tonight is giving me such a raging clue right now

 

Our staff has changed over the last few years. I'm more inclined to believe there's something wrong with the pressure placed on them by the FO or players.

 

So when Morey was trying to get in the aborted Brook Lopez sweepstakes a couple of weeks ago, that makes a whole lot more sense.

It also makes sense to hush the knee. If you had a chance to get a good deal, once other GM's see the bad position you are in, that's all gone. So making this public makes me think the Rockets have exhausted plausible options for a fix or patch for the team at center before the deadline.

 

Good read, informative#Hope

 

Greg Monroe?

 

i heard the doctor said he needed a backiotomy in addition to his kneeotomy

 

Not only the PR spin. From team's perspective, DH is paid a lot of money to play. So you want him to play when there is nothing wrong with the structure of the knee. I think that's why DH wanted to have a second opinion on his own. Looks like that was indeed the case. The comments have to be put in that context.

 

Its these damn Chinese jerseys guys. Ever since we stopped wearing Ketchup and Mustard we haven't been the same
