Patrick Beverley has a torn meniscus (UPDATE: Will not require surgery, expected to return)

Your sarcasm and condescension is astounding...

 

You should be worried about Parsons, he plays too many minutes.

Bev is perfect for 20 -25 minutes per game given his height/body type. He has to defend bigger/taller players everyday, sooner or later, it is going to happen.

That's why I said last year, Parsons will be gone because Rox needs a SF-wing defender.

 

At this point, I am not even mad anymore... just sad. I feel so bad for Bev right now. He is easiest our most competitive player and now he may possibly miss the playoffs. Guy is playing some of the best moments of ball in his professional career and now this.

 

Parsons, Lin, and McFail comments regarding Beverley

I'm so desensitized by injuries by now this honestly hardly bothers me.

 

You are so wrong. Bev. might be important this year, but he is never ever going to be an important piece in the long run.

Bev. is too small to defender taller/bigger/stronger opposing players every day at 30-35 minutes per game, something like this is going to happen given his play style. He is undersized.

That's why I said last year, given Harden's limitation on defense, Rox needed a SF-wing defender.

 

What do you expect? He is undersized, and plays a hectic style.

Get some common sense. Any undersized players will develop injury problems sooner or later.

 

It wouldn't bother me as much if its in early or middle of the season, but we really need him in the playoffs.

I mean w/e it's best for Beverley, hopefully he can comeback soon, if not, it's better to wait than to ruin his career.

 

During the 2010-2011 season Harvard shared the IVY LEAGUE CAMPIONSHIP with Princeton. Harvard was 14-0 during Lin's senior year (2010-2011). If you read my post you would see that I said championship not ncaa championship. I suggest you take your head out of you backside and come back to reality. I can't stop you from from your delusions, but I never thought that Lin was on a championship NCAA team. Your reading compresion and reasoning is very poor.

 

If completely removing the meniscus is an optioin, Beverley should really consider it. People have cited Wade's meniscus removal as an example, but he was still supremely athletic until about a couple years ago, about 10 years after the removal. Beverley is 25, so if he has roughly the same timeline as Wade, he will probably on his way out of the league by the time the injury affects him.

Of course, this is assuming that his injury is remotely similar to Wade's, which is a HUGE assumption.

 

I'm thankful you have zero input on Houston's decision making process

 

and the ivy league campionship in 2010-2011.

 

Us there any free agents out there? How bout Europe. What about Sergio Rodriguez?

 

There's no use trying to discuss Lin with haters. It's like trying to criticize Lin with LOFs. Regardless, hope it isn't a bad tear and we have our team at full strength for the playoffs.

 

Yea there's like 30 champions every year the. Lol wow ur so sad if u think that's an accomplishment all it did was get his team in the tournament.

 

I am also glad you have nothing on it too. We are just fans who give different perspective on things happening on the team.

There is a reason Phil Jackson always likes bigger PG. He has won so many championships with bigger PG. The only time I remembered he used a small guard is during the NBA championship against the 76ers. He used Tyronne Lue against Iverson because Derek Fisher couldn't catch up with Iverson's speed.

But you know what, Lue was traded away the year after, and it appears Phil never was worried about the speed of Derek Fisher.

Again, in the NBA, there is no free lunch, if you use undersized players, you will have injury issues. You might get lucky, but sooner or later, luck runs out.

By the way, I am calling now that Dwight Howard will decline quickly once he passes 31, 32 because Dwight is undersized, and he lacks skill to compensate for his declining strength. I am glad he is only 28. But mark my words here and we'll see.

 

Talking about injuries with a coworker and thought about the Rocket Fan song done a few years back to the "Rocket Man" soundtrack. Anyone have it or know where to find it. Been searching google and believe I have found the end of the internet to no avail.

 

Yeah anyone rewatch it?

 

Im watching it right now, he played D, Philly made a three, didn't bump into anyone, as we're in-bounding the ball he starts limping a little we call a timeout, n he heads to the locker-room. Literally nothing happened to cause it.
