    So, I'm pretty much sick of the injury bug that has plagued this team ever since the Rockets moved to the Toyota Center. It seems like no matter what the front office does to improve this team, the team fails to perform to our expectations because of injuries. I'm one of the many who believe in this curse. Superstitious, yes, but when stuff like this happens year in and year out particularly at times when things are going well, you can't help but wonder if there is actually a curse.

    Any suggestions on what WE, the fans, can actually get done?

    The only way to get rid of the curse is to not start threads about it

    No curse, just a bunch of injury prone star players.

    Maybe some Jazz fan buried a jersey under the TC a la Yanks/Red Sox.

    my suggestion is to first, make a pentagram. sacrifice a dead chicken by stabbing it in the heart with a stake. then place the chicken in the center and repeat something in latin.

    in other words... nothing.

    Its not a Toyota Center curse. Its the jersey curse. Never change your jersey after winning a championship.

    After all these years, I have learned to stay calm whenever what happens. Let time anwser.

    Though i think I do have a suggestion: don't force anything! When you do not feel good, you rest, when you can play, play.

    Yao should learn sth from Duncan on Defense, too. When a play drives in and you are out of position, try not to force yourself to block it. I have seen many times when players drive hard to the basket and TD is out of position, he simply gives up. So that's what comes to my mind

    Trade Yao, ever since we drafted him, we have been injury plagued, I hate life.

    Just playing, but I hope hes ok and Mcgrady and Artest come back STRONG.

    I say we get Matt Maloney to do a hula dance at mid-court during halftime of an upcoming game.

    Will it work? Who knows, but he's got to earn all that money somehow.

    The answer is to draft and trade for durable players.

    We have injury prone players.

    Agree with that, instead of cheerleaders dancing, which is getting really boring after watching it 10 years straight, buncha voodoo guys circling a camp fire and dancing in the center of court would be fun.
