    That is why you check it. I mean come on, it is not like one day he feels great, and all of the sudden he says my leg hurts and they discover it is broken...

    Remember? The doctors told Tracy could play through that and it was not gonna get worse...

    You simply wrote it in your every single post.

    Unless you're behind the scenes and know what was said you can't blame him. Also he is a trainer not a doctor so you can't blame everything on him.

    Let's just say that an evaluation of the entire medical staff should be done by reputable outside sources.

    So if it's not Keith, who should we blame? Nobody again?

    I've felt this way about the medical staff for over 10 years. Maybe it's because I've been paying the most attention to the Rockets, but we just seem to have more injuries than other teams ever since 1996 -- the year that Keith Jones joined.... Whereas the 10 years before that, it seemed to always be other teams' star getting hurt (Bird, Zeke, Grant Hill, etc.) and the Rockets were relatively ok.

    Does every injury need to be blamed on someone?

    Someone care to tell me how any trainer anywhere could prevent a player from wearing off his cartilage? Is there a new taping procedure that I missed out on?

    Or do some of you think cartilage grows back like hair?

    who do you blame for elton brands 2 consecutive season ending injuries? that happened on 2 different teams. you see, even with different trainers some players are just injury prone. the rockets have 2 such players.

    Keith Jones is the team TRAINER, not the team DOCTOR.

    LMAO..first fire adelman,trade yao,trade tmac,trade artest,trade alston and then now fire the trainer?? LOL wth this guy isn't the one on the court playing or running the team, he was picked for the NATIONAL TEAM cmon he's obviously an excellent trainer. Its not his fault we have weak players. Give him a break, injuries happen, this has NOTHING to do with him

    This is pathetic. At least some knowledgable fans have pointed it out though. Now, fans have reduced themselves to blaming the trainer. It's also funny how people like to minimize the fact that he was selected as Team USA's trainer. That tells you how highly he is thought of around the league. However, I'm sure a bunch of angry, misguided fans on the internet know better. It seems no matter what, everyone involved with out organization has got this in one way or another. What's next, the ball boys aren't delivering the correct passes during shooting drills? Carry on,lol.

    Quite frankly, I don't believe in doctors in this country any more. All they want is NOT to be sued and earn their fat pay check year after year. They never put patients in the first place!! Their sole standard for success is to charge a patient , not to cure him or make him feel better, without being sued. I have too many such experiences and I bet you must have similar feelings. To me, the biggest problem of this country are Wallstreet crocks, lawyers and doctors. Get rid of them( or pay them 1/3 -1/4 of what they get now) and we will have a much better outcome.
