    According to the dreaded Rockets Guy at Hoopsworld, pretty much all the medical information is good, with the possible exception of Rice. The Rockets' doctor is quoted here, so I doubt there should be the usual Hoopsworld credibility issue.

    If this has already been reported, my apologies.

    2 things about that article..

    1) 5 game suspension, correct? not 6

    2) In one sentence he says "The team took care of their last physicals on Thursday and Friday, and every player passed with flying colors" and further down he says.." Steve Francis' rehab is ahead of schedule after having shoulder surgery, and only Cuttino Mobley and Kenny Thomas have yet to complete physicals"...so which is it? I like what he's sayin..but as usual I dont think he bothers to proof his stuff...

    Man, the Rocket Guy is an idiot. Not only are there the problems mentioned above, but all of the quotes come from the chronicle article...and he misquoted some!

    Keith Jones made all of those comments (to the Chronicle). Dr. Lowe did not make any of them. Pretty funny that TRG has Dr. Lowe saying that "they" (the team Doctors) said he is OK.

    Rule number one: Never quote The Rocket Guy, especially on Clutch City.

    ...and Taylor tore his achilles, not his ACL

    ...and exactly when has Rice been "considering retirement?"

    ...and who is the "impressive young talent" that Bostjan needs to "out-play" "to realize [his] dream" of "starting by the end of the season"....Terence Morris???

    I was about to say... who ever is saying that this guy is credible is off their rocker. I don't know about Mo, but I know for every other person int the world that one's ACL is not in their heel!
