    Houston Rockets forward Juwan Howard statement:

    “I have been working very hard the past three weeks to rehabilitate my right knee in order to make a return to the team in time for the playoffs this season. While the knee is responding well to the treatment, I will not be able to rejoin the team this season due to an unrelated viral infection identified as viral myocarditis. This condition caused some irregularities to my heart rhythm, which have subsequently subsided and returned to normal. However, this will prevent me from participating in conditioning workouts and games for the next few months. On the advice of my doctors, I will take a conservative approach for resuming my regular training regimen in order to ensure a full recovery so that I can be ready for the start of next season. My physicians have reassured me that there should be no long-term consequences.

    Obviously, this has been a very difficult and frustrating time for my family and me. We would very much appreciate your help in respecting our privacy regarding this matter as we move forward.”

    viral myocarditis – a condition generally associated with benign upper respiratory tract viruses; most common symptoms include fever, palpitations (skipped heartbeats) and mild chest pains.

    It's just a jump to the left
    And then a step to the right
    With your hands on your hips
    You bring your knees in tight
    But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
    Let's do the Time Warp again!

    Im a rockets insider yes, but basically i just stumbled accross the article when i visited the rockets site today. Not the news I was looking for!

    I would like to see Vinny Baker get some minutes, just to see what he can do. He would be a bigger presence than Weatherspoon. I love spoon tho. He's like a poor mans Barkley, without the spot up 3's.

    I hope we get the 6 seed, we can take the Sonics. Its payback time for past playoff losses to the pesky green bastards from the northwest.

    looks like im a bit behind in the news guys, sorry about that. As you can see by my number of posts, i dont have time to get online much.

    im down w/ the sarcasm, as long as its from fellow rocket fans!

    Maybe we can start Pete Chilcutt at PF?
