    I wonder if jvg talked da into being traded, so they can package them together.

    wouldn't he be playing rather than being shown as a discipline problem to the L if he was gonna be traded?

    My guess is that Stro is weak minded like Eddie Griffin was, and can't handle JVG's abrasive personality.

    He needs a coach that will coddle him, even if he makes stupid mistakes.

    I don't know if the inactive list has the same rules as the old injured list did, but if so, doesn't a player have to miss atleast 5 games once placed on it?

    if that's the case, we may have seen stromile play in a rockets uniform for the last time.

    Stro was inactive when he missed his first practice. He came back the next game.

    Somehow this is all JVG's fault for not bringing out the best in Stro. Don't blame the poor guy. JVG just doesn't understand him. :rolleyes:

    There is no more 5 game inactive list. They changed the rules. It goes game to game now.

    If this was in response to my post that is not what I was implying at all. More that Stro is a pu**y who can't take it.

    The good thing is that Chuck Hayes is getting his minutes, and he's playing great. I'd rather see Howard/Hayes than Howard/Swift.

    No it wasn't. Didn't read prior posts before jumping in. I can see why you thought that.

    I would rather see Hayes/Clutch the Bear. Please, no Howard whatsoever!

    Yeah, I'm going to have to 2nd this idea. I think he needs to be coddled a bit.

    Van Gundy has been harping on about changing the atmosphere/attitude for home games... Same ol' JVG stunt to prove a point (or motivate) if you ask me.

    The white sneakers the players got, sub dinners for home games, geared up in game wear and dunking for the players at practice, etc...
