    It hasn't even been 2 months since his injury...as bad as it was he's going to need a few more weeks to get the soreness out. It's pretty natural. If he's still being bothered by it by the end of the year, then something is wrong. Even then, extended rest will usually solve it. Sprains shouldn't be a significant on-goin issue unless you really tore up the whole ankle or fractured it , which AB didn't.

    I hope AB comes back full force. Our bench scoring is banking on that, especially since RA is too dumb to realize how useless Bud is currently.

    Glad we won. The horrible ref calls really made me mad. Like the second one on Hill when he did not even touch the guy. The other refs could not have over-ruled that call?
    Blake Griffin - for all his hype/skills - I pray to never see him in a Rockets uniform. He is creepy looking - I don't think I could bear to have to look at him. Maybe I find him scary looking because I am female. Also must regret my feelings and feel sorry for him. But still....

    Yeah Blake Griffin is going to be as much of a diva as LeBron in the next few years. Never seen so many BS superstar calls.

    The only thing the Clippers had going for them was their aggressiveness and attacking the rim trying to dunk every 5 seconds. It always seems like the Refs get swayed by that kind of momentum in games and will always call fouls against the opposing less aggressive team.

    Reading comprehension much? I think I was pretty direct. So go ahead with the minutiae of how horrible he was. No please, I insist.

    Tell me how the five assists in 17 minutes were the results of unintentional caroms off his sneakers that found their way into the waiting hands of Scola under the hoop.

    Tell me how the +/- is inflated by a "part of the game that didn't matter" and so forth.

    Tell me how his steal was also unintentional when a Baron Davis pass hit him flush in the side of his face.

    I wonder how long will he be able to keep this style of play before he gets seriously injured. It is exciting and fun to watch but, for his own good, he needs to develop an alternative style in order for his career to last longer.

    ^ Man...I can't up that high even if I lower my goal all the way down.
