    awesome good to hear

    hopefully he rides the bike a la dennis rodman so it wont stiffen up


    besides if there is anything the Rockets medical staff knows is how to handle back injuries

    do you even bother to read any of the posts that said that he was feeling fine and went through his warmups fine? and where is this bulging disc come from? bulging discs make it near impossible to even walk or sit.

    Three things real quick:

    1) He does have a bulging disc, this is confirmed from Von.

    2) He's wearing some kind of heat patch or something on it.

    3) Von says doc told him there is no risk for further injury. I'm not saying I necessarily believe this, but that's what Von said.

    Based on what I saw and how Von/trainers sounded, I'd put it at 75/25 he plays.

    post count has nothing to do with being able to read and comprehend what was being read...


    guy is just being dumb, Wafer may not play dependent on what the staff say, but to say he isnt going to play at all when he went through normal workouts and the guy has no other info except an article posted over an hour ago with now outdated info is just being stupid

    If he feels good and can play, excellent. But dont play just to play if you arent 100%.

    Same here. I still suffer from it sometimes. You cant walk, much less jump and shoot.

    The thing that worries me the most about Barry playing tonight for Von is Brent's lack of defense.

    They did say this, but to follow up on your previous post where you said, "Why risk it" let me explain exactly why.

    Its game 6 of the PLAYOFFS where we have a chance to move to the 2nd round. I believe that is reason enough for a competetor to "Risk it"!

    Some folks in here have been so abused by TSlacks attitude where, "I dont feel good, so I dont think im going to play" that they themselves, get that attitude.

    wow Von must be a trooper if he is even considering playing with a bulging disc. Maybe we need 5 of those guys on our team. :D

    That would worry me too, but Von's D isn't the greatest either.
