    unfortunate for you, since he wrote the article with much more thought, relevant experience, and logic than the majority of posters on this board. good article and great insight.

    Yeahh, the article wasn't bad.
    Plus, he was showing his respect, rooting for Tracy.

    Shows some great insight about the details of Micro-fracture surgery.

    I bet some teams fans hate Scola just like how we hate Harpring. I really would have liked to see Harpring on the rockets back in the JVG days.

    on a side note.....OP's Sig is extremely annoying. Way too big.

    I'm sure Swoly-D would be on suicide watch if he saw any of your posts...

    I have faith that McGrady will come back strong .. If Amare can return to the form he's in after microfracture surgery, I beleive T-mac has a good chance too.

    Good article. So what if he played for the Jazz, he's a human being like you and I.

    nice article by harping. really clears things up and puts things into perspective in relation to undergoing microfracture surgery.

    That was an interesting article with a slightly different perspective that made for a good read.

    I think i'm glad I have sigs turned off right now.

    I knew it must be hard, but didn't know he had to go through so much until now. Wish him all the best.

    He's proved a lil bit of mental toughness by making it this far in the process. well at least harping thinks so having gone through the same process.

    Matt Harpring writes well. Morey should hire him to write for Rockets.com.

    Better yet, McGrady should hire Harpring to write all of his speeches so as to avoid sounding like a douche in the future.

    Don't take this the wrong way, but are you a Chinese fan who has only followed the Rockets since the Yao Ming Era? No one who watched the Rockets during the 90's would question even the most illogical Jazz hatred.

    Yeah, but more importantly: He's Matt Harpring. And a Jazzhole.

    Besides, Harpring wouldn't have to worry about losing any athleticism, since he never had any. Microfracture surgery doesn't limit your flopping ability.
