the dark side clouds everything.. impossible to see the future is...
Aren't you supposed to be practicing on your smack - go get back in front of that mirror and try again! You can do it - just stay focused this time.Another team that gets a lot better than the overrated Spurs..LOL
The Rockets with this trade become automatic contenders for the le..
The Spurs on the other hand waiting for their "master plan" in 2010 LOL
Losers!!!
I hate that people bring up the health issue. In case you hadn't noticed, we have to hope for Manu to be healthy come playoff time...
it's a stronger team. Perhaps significantly so.
The truth hurts isn't it ? thIs not smack, but reality...
You team sucks
Um, they didn't steal Barry from us, the Spurs front office let him go.
Wow.
The only true definition of loser. You.
still not relevant, funny or entertaining - keep practicing
"Hate" is such a strong word, but don't worry, I won't take it personally. The point I was bringing up regarding health, again, is that the Rockets have had and still have larger concers to the players that are supposed to anchor their team than the Spurs. Manu has a gimpy ankle he will be playing on this summer, but Yao and Tracy have had injuries that have ranged between nagging-severe in their most recent history....and Yao will be playing in the Olympics as well.
Leave this place. If you don't like it, scroll.
It wasn't a personal hatred of you.
It's a hatred of the several posts on this thread that state to the effect of 'well, can Bynum stay healthy. Well, can TMac and/or Yao stay healthy.'
Damn, we have had one playoff run essentially ended by a gimpy Manu (who is playing on said gimpy ankle this summer - wondering about the various Rocket china dolls rings a bit hollow, don't you think?), another by an injury to Tim Duncan.
Given our recent history with injuries to Tim and Manu, it's pretty ignorant to be pinning our hopes for the rest of the Tim Duncan era on the health of TMac, Yao, and Bynum. And that's not even touching on the Hornets.
Teams in the West are making notable and obvious moves to improve their team. And we'll probably re-sign that ancient piece of Michael Finley.
then maybe spurs should trade for players that stay healthy
yeah good idea ducks.
Great, I wonder what we can get for Tim Duncan.
Didn't Tony miss some time due to injury? Trade your boy too!
Somehow, I'm not surprised you missed the point. But good job as usual with the hate. The Church of Manu has nothing on the resident French Fowl.
As I mentioned in another post (possibly in another thread), regardless of what happened to this point of Free Agency, the Spurs' most recent acquisitions have to contribute so the burden doesn't fall solely on the Big 3. I wasn't really trying to pin the team's hopes on injuries, just mentioning a very realistic possibility for the coming season which might have a say in how different moves work out for the teams in question.
As far as injuries go, for all of his talents, T-Mac is about as gimpy as they come. Between his nagging injuries and Yao's more severe one (that he continues to play on) it can have a impact on their team that might neutralize the effects to a degree of their offseason moves.
i too hate all the talk about 'staying healthy'. Newsflash!! NBA PLAYERS GET HURT ALOT.....
Id Nene was healthy the Nuggets would be much better but he hasn't been fully healthy for a full season yet, and probably won't be this season. It will be the same with Yao, Tmac, Bynum etc......... It is just something to accept instead of assuming they will suddenly have a fully healthy season.
Man the Rockets are going to be freaking TOUGH. Who is going to score against them? Tim usually has bad games against Houston and so does TP. If I recall correctly usually Manu is the one for us that puts up the big numbers against the Rockets. Manu usually struggles against Ron unless he is 100%. When he's 100% he can do some stuff against him, but if he's even banged up a little he finds it real tough. This trade freaking sucks for what they had to give up to get him. If they gave up more I wouldn't be too worried about it, but it seems like they gave up peanuts.
Asking if Houston can remain healthy is a legitimate question, just from the stand point that their two best players are the poster boys for being injury prone. A year of age won't help them in that regard either.
Well this is a Houston team that won 22 games in a row last season and this was with Ming out for over half those wins. Now add Ming and Artest to that. This Rockets team could be lethal. I don't know why people seem to think it's no big deal.
You hate the talk about staying healthy, but then you give an example of how you believe it can affect the outcome of a team's season? Not trying to jump on you, just trying to be clear.i too hate all the talk about 'staying healthy'. Newsflash!! NBA PLAYERS GET HURT ALOT.....
Id Nene was healthy the Nuggets would be much better but he hasn't been fully healthy for a full season yet, and probably won't be this season. It will be the same with Yao, Tmac, Bynum etc......... It is just something to accept instead of assuming they will suddenly have a fully healthy season.
what i'm trying to say is that i hate people saying 'if we were healthy we would have won, or will win, the NBA championship (or comments to that effect).
I used the Nene comment as an example. Of course he would make the nuggets better but i won't say 'if Nene is healthy' coz i know he may never be.
I'll accept the team's results as they happen and won't put any blame on injuries like so many people do. Most teams deal with the same thing and some are lucky to not have to
Didn't say the deal wouldn't be a good one if Artest turned out to be a good fit, but needs to prove that it can remain healthy IMO during critical stretches of the season and in the postseason. They might have been an even tougher out last year if Yao were playing and Raefer were ready to go when the playoffs started.
