Curious on the forums take.

I say no. Both are almost impossible without roy. With him they would be very hard.

Corey Maggette will be out for the next few games because of a dislocated finger.

Today it was announced that the Rockets have called up Garrett Temple of our NBADL affiliate the RGV Vipers to cover for injuries to Kyle Lowry and Trevor Ariza. Temple will be our third call-up from the Vipers this season, with the other two being Mike Harris and Will Conroy. All three were with the Rockets in training camp and signed with RGV after being cut.

As some may know, the Rockets have an interesting hybrid arrangement with the Vipers, where we control all basketball operations, meaning that the Vipers' front office and coaching staff are appointed by the Rockets. In effect, all the Vipers players are ones that the Rockets greenlighted. This creates such an advantage in that the Vipers can run similar playbooks to the Rockets and groom players to fit with the Rockets instead of the entire NBA.

However, with Temple's call up, it seems there's another advantage of this arrangement with the Vipers. Although guys like Harris, Temple and Conroy could have easily gone to Europe or Asia to earn bigger paychecks after being cut from Rockets' training camp, they opted to stick around with the Vipers. With their call-ups to the Rockets though, the players' financial situation are at least somewhat boosted (10-day contracts in the NBA are more than double the average NBADL salary). It makes one wonder if the Rockets had an agreement with these players before their signing for the Vipers, that they would at least be guaranteed a 10-day contract... [Read More]

From The MMA Manifesto:

I really don't want to be the bad guy here. I really don't want to rain on the parade. But I feel I have no choice. So here it goes: RANDY COUTURE IS NOT A TOP 5 LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHTER. (Read more)

As for his hamstring, Roy has not tested it since participating in practice last Friday and intends to stay away from basketball activities until next week. Roy did not have another injection of Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) on Monday and said he may never undergo the procedure again.

He is hopeful his hamstring heals naturally with rest and conventional treatment.

“It was talked about but it’s not something that I want to do right now,” Roy said of the PRP injection. “So it’s (been) put off. Maybe never. Maybe in a week or so, hopefully, I feel a lot better and I don’t even think I need it. So my thing is to go through rest and treatment.”



Is anyone else getting the feeling roy will be out much longer after the break? Sounds like he could miss at least 2 more weeks.

that would be our season. the end.
