    Well play HAKEEM for crying out loud. Does Rudy even want him on the team?

    I think I may need to start a thread.

    Well, the Clippers are next. We should win with no problem, and get Taylor and Cato some rest for Phoenix and the Lakers.

    All UT players used to wear these ankle braces in every game when Penders was coaching. I heard they didn't have a sprain for like three years straight by anyone. Does this ring a bell for any Texas fans out there? I just can't remember much about it.

    FEARLESS PREDICTION

    If Collier can get more minutes now that Cato and Taylor are hurt, his stats will improve.

    Go get 'em big guy!

    How long should they be out?

    I think MO faked his because he didnt want to face the clippers. [​IMG]

    Anyway, I sure hope the two are fine. I'd wouldn't mind if Cato missed a few, though. I want Dream out there a bit more. Dream with a 4-point average? God, I'd take a few losses just to see his stats improve. The guy is not going to go out in a blaze of glory like I had hoped.

    Actually 4 points through 6 points is where I see him avg the whole year. Sorry to say but the guy cant play anymore, he needs to retire now.

    Oh Holy God, tell me that Cato is not out for 4-6 weeks. You must be kidding me.

    Man, I just had to type that. Seriously, I need someone to confirm this.

    He sprained his friggin ankle, for God's sake!

    Taylor said he expects to be back for the Clipper game on Saturday. It's considered a "day to day" injury and nothing like that of Cato's.

    Does anyone else think that we should sit Taylor for most of the Clipper game, if not all, just to make sure he is totally healed? I mean, I know we are missing Cato, but it IS the Clippers, and, while they may be "new and improved," they're still 0-2 and the Clippers.

    Let's remember, Taylor is playing with a mostly-healed broken finger and a sprained ankle.

    Let Maurice sit and make sure he's healthy for the next game.

    Maybe now that Cato is out, Hakeem will actually get some playing time and, *Gasp*,
    get the ball now and then.

    Taylor said he wanted to come back in the game but they, docs/coaches, wouldn't him. I'm sure the fact that they were blowing out the Bucks and didn't need him played a part in that decision. If he's ready for the Clips, play him.

    Where's the vet when you need 'em? Can't you just give someone some shot designed for a horse, and they'll be fine for ever after?

    These players these days, sheez.

    Cato's ankle reminds me of when I was playin ball about 3 months ago. I went to block my man Dave and landed on his foot and my ankle was like half a tennis ball. Even though the doctors said about a month or 2 I played the very next week. That's how much I love Basketball!!!!! [​IMG] Too bad Cato doesn't quite have that fire!!!!! He'll learn I supose!
    By the way, I now wear ankle braces and they are awsome! They feel like you have nothing on and they are comfortable as anythin! Someone sould say that they are only worth around $200!!!!
