yeah, the injuries to the big three sucks.... but none of them looked too serious, so let's hope and pray...... I know T-Mac is fine, we were making a run without him in there, so no need to put him back in..... Yao and Artest should be okay too.....
Bottom line is we need durable players to win championships. If we could ever have our starting line up healthy for the play offs, even with an 8 seed, I would love out chances. Right now, I think we can draw the conclusion that the Rockets have an injury bug that hits its star player. It time to start afresh if you ask me. Stars that are an injury waiting to happen just cannot win championships. Quite Sad!
uh yes, alston and yao missing the playoffs (2 of your starters) is just part of the game we've been injured freakin' every year since tracy has been here (except his first yr). what is this curse? did boston break its curse after winning the world series and pass it to us?
Stop whining about curses. That's what Cubs fans do and they suck. Injuries are a part of the game. The Rockets and their fans need to rise above it and, for God's sake, STOP WHINING.
I expect more out of this team and will not just be " content and happy" with what we have. We all love our Rockets and for you to expect us to be blind homer is unrealistic. I invest a great deal of time and money with my season tickets. I expect more.
WEAK post in my opinion. Players get hurt. When an ankle rolls...it rolls. I dont' care who you are. This is getting sick. We win the game easily yet we still have fans who want to bash our team because they got injured while playing hard. I hear the T-Wolves haven't been injured too much....go cheer for them awhile and see how that works out.
Man, I seriously hope Yao didnt hurt his foot that he got a stress fracture on and reaggravate it. If he did, this season is over, and the yao-tmac era or experiment is probably done. And if thats bad enough, artest goes down too...
I think all but Artest are fine... Even Artest shouldn't be out too long if it's just an ankle sprain, but we'll see.
Injury is part of the NBA, but I just hope that non of the player is knocked out for more than a month for injury.
Yao's injury bothers me most. Last year out of the blue they announce he has a stress fracture and he's out for the rest of the year. I hope its just an ankle tweak and not his left foot. Tmac just looked precautionary and Ron might have a severe ankle sprain that might put him out for a few weeks but is not season ending.
Tmac and Yao are all right, still waiting on word about Artest. "Tracy McGrady limped off less than a minute into the second half. He was declared to be fine and able to return, though he never did. Then Yao Ming left late in the second half, looking to be in serious pain. But he was ruled to be all right, though he was not needed again. " Link to Chronicle article DD
This isn't being a blind homer. How is name calling our players when they're injured being a realistic fan? How are constant trade threads when our players are not even 100% fully recovered being a realistic fan? Our team just isn't 100% yet, but our fans appear to enjoy this fact. Have you seen how many trash threads we've had? I'm not saying the fans should stay content and happy, I'm saying we shouldn't act like Laker fans towards our own damn players.
next thing you know scola will be rolling his ankles, then landry, then brooks eventually this whole team will be rolling ankles..jk...anyway, hope they're not hurt real bad. i saw artest and he look like he was in a lot of pain though
