    Bill Worrell said tonight that this upcoming Denver game could possibly be the FIRST game with all our major players healthy and playing. I guess he jinxed it.

    Hamstring injury + old age (for a sportsman that's over 30) = bad news. Hopefully what he said was from the school of Dr. McGrady and not actually from the doctor.

    it's seriously not just tracy. the injury curse has now officially hit basically every starter (outside of scola),

    we may just never be healthy. i'll be ecstatic if we're healthy march and april heading into the playoffs.

    Rafer is our only point guard that knows how to defend. This sucks.

    How does he know so fast?

    Is it known that you are out two weeks every time you pull your hamstring?

    The timing sucks.

    Francis isn't anywhere close to coming back...
    Barry is going to be rusty if he does come back.
    Brooks is in a major shooting slump.

    Great...

    YoYo was at the game, and always seems to find a way to talk to the players.

    If he posted it, he is telling it straight...I'll vouch for his trustworthiness.

    I don't believe it. Its 2 early to even know what the problem is. If it is his hamstring ok thats one thing but to find out how long he will be out is another story. Tomorrow morning or better yet later on during the day we will find out the whole story.

    If it's true, it's going to really hurt this team. Hope he heals fast.

    Barry was expected to play but he still needs rest before he can play. Who knows he might play against Denver but I doubt if he can bring anything to the team right now even he gets on the court.

    Splitting half and half with Brooks is the only way to go but I'm afraid that Head will be forced into some minutes there and he is someone who obviously can't do anything at the 1. Tracy was hurting today,if he can play for the next 5-6 games he will have to be the primary PG.
    Only Atkins appears to be on the block but I don't want to give up Hayes for him.

    True but he has had this problem multiple times. He probably knows from experience.

    Why wouldn't Francis be?? He has been going hard in practice for 2 1/2 weeks without any problems. I haven't heard any setbacks on his knee or anything. The last news on him that was said was that head cold again. It doesn't take an athlete that long. Im sure he is ready. He is just rusty and with alot of rust he needs some time on the court.

    I guess I jinxed it. This team will never get its full complement healthy on the court.
