    After 2 weeks, Alston comes back and then, BANG, someone else is injuried. The suspense is who is going to be that guy.

    Okay, this is just unbelievable, someone is ALWAYS injured, I can’t even remember the last time where we had a full squad, someone who is very important to our line up always go out! I think T-Mac carries the curse. Back in Orlando, Grant Hill was injured when T-Mac was there, but right when he leaves, Hill makes an amazing come back. When he comes to Houston, Juwan Howard goes out (this is when he was actually decent and really coulda helped us beat the mavs in 04-05), then T-Mac himself goes out most of the next season with all these back spasms, then Yao Ming breaks a foot. Then there’s 06-07 season, again Yao Ming breaks his foot again (different injury) and isn’t really 100% when we play the Jazz. Then next season, Francis for the first time in his career only plays 15 games with an injury, yao ming ends up with stress fracture, rafer is hurt when we play jazz, and battier’s had all sorts of foot problems. This year, battier, tmac, artest, francis, rafer, barry, and even Dorsey all have had nagging injuries. The point is, this is never going to end! I’m so sick and tired of injuries on this team, I can’t even enjoy watching these rockets game because I’m always thinking that “oh, if that tmac was there, we’d be better, oh if battier was there our defense would be better, oh artest has two torn ligaments, so he could be playing better, guess we gotta wait till next year for that, I HATE going through that, it's annoying! Sometimes I Just wanna give up being a rocket fan! But I’ve been a die hard fan since 93 so it's impossible. I'm stuck with this team! I hope you some of you guys feel my pain, its this team is just sickening…

    Anyway, I just hope adleman gives Francis a chance, if he’s able to come back, contribute, and maybe show a few flashes of the old steve, that would be fantastic. That’ll def make things up a lil bit. Anyway, we’re having so many injuries right now, hope we just get them out the way and finally have full 100% squad ready to go by april. I don’t care if we’re in 6th or 7th place. If we have a full squad and have developed chemistry, we’re going to win it all…(boy I hate how the word “if” is used so much on this team…)

    hopefully what yoyo heard was a worst case prognosis and it will be like AB scenario where it's not as serious as it really is.

    He's our best +/- player.. He has the highest + on the Rockets.. then Yao Ming comes in 2nd.

    if steve doesnt play in these next few games than it cant be anymore obvious that hes done playing for the rockets especially if barry isnt playing as well..i know hes rusty but hes physically able to play now, i have a feeling francis will give it all he has to play but i doubt rick will play him..i expect him to be traded with head for a big man soon

    Where is D.J. Strawberry? Would be nice to have him for defense on the B-Diddy and Billups.

    I can hear the excuses already ... we lost cuz we didn't have Rafer. Earlier, we lost because we didn't have TMac or Artest or Yao or Battier. We're going to be the best hypothetical team ever.
