Howard out with strained right knee 11/19/2014

Good points, and I see what you mean.

I guess I've gotten pretty used to being emphatic in order to be more expressive and drive my points home more clearly.

Anyhow, I appreciate the explanation and advice.

BTW, what does "GARM" mean?

 

Lol, we are going to be crushed on Saturday.

Reminds me of TMac's lingering knee issues in the 08 season. Which was basically the end of his career.

Hoping for a different outcome here obviously.

 

Geebus.

Platelet therapy? That makes it sound like this is a much bigger deal than being let on.

 

Howard had the PRP injections for his labrum injury in LA and Batum just had them for a knee contusion. They have become pretty prominent in sports medicine to speed up recovery time for injuries, doesn't indicate that the injury is anything serious in nature. Batum said he felt noticeable improvement within two days of the injection and is set to return to the Blazers lineup tonight, and Howard claims he is feeling a lot better a day later.

Pretty sure the Rockets wished they had kept Greg Smith, and Omer Asik. D-Mo in the post on defense is pretty much like looking at a revolving door.

 

Looks like Greg Smith still hasn't gotten over his fouling issues in very limited time in Dallas.

 

Oh boy.. do we have any post scoring outside of DMO? And hell that's not even a pure option.

 

Yes, remember how we focus and rely on Tarik Black during late game crunch time. We're all good

 

It sounds more involved than slapping some neosporin on a cut, imho.

 

It's like slapping neosporin on a cut if you're really, really rich.
