Clutchfans tears taste delish

Harden can drop 30 points without the refs. Whatever rep he had last year because of fouls he has shed in spades this year. Not even close, he's had outstanding games whether he gets to the line 20x or 2...and some games the refs decide to call nothing at all and he'll still get buckets because of his added step-back.

I don't understand why people don't think he's improved his game. He's 25 and he's a top 5 player in the NBA, had a bad playoffs last year but it's a bit much to just expect that's how it's going to go forever and ever. Players grow, players mature, players improve. Dirk was a soft choker until he won a championship, fans never learn that what happened last year is last year. You beat a different team last year then the team you would play this year.

We are 1-1 against you guys this year, don't even mention injuries please. We've had our share.

Dr.Lowe the doctor that is treating Howard has said multiple times that it is a bone bruise, no ligament damage. Him playing through it earlier made it worse or whatever and they decided to sit him Why the injection? The doctor has said basically it was because he would be out that time any ways. Overall, the Doctor that treat him (and another doctor) have both been very positive about Dwight's injury. Both seem to be pretty confident that he's going to be good coming back and looking more like himself.

My meter on this is at about 30%, with 100% meaning full blown panic. I'm no doctor and if more than one doctor is telling me "Oh, it's just this he'll be fine." then I'll go with that.

 

No, it was Dwight just guessing. It was fair for the media because Dwight IIRC said something like "I think it's bone on bone." or "It feels like it's bone on bone." but his doctor says that cartilage damage is "tiny" and "not a problem."

Of course, people think they are just being positive about Dwight because if you tell the team Dwight is out for the year that could drop morale and the morale of the fans. I mean I guess that makes sense, but the doctor isn't a team doctor. I guess in the end we will see. He was definitely playing on a bum knee for a while.

Whether that's just because of a bad bone bruise or because of some underlying ligament/cartilage damage that is going to be the end of him eventually we'll find out. Knowing Houston sports and it's luck with injruies to star players he'll probably come back and tear it up any ways

 

"The problem was the cartilage was wearing down," the 29-year-old Howard said. "I have been playing basketball for a very long time. When you have the bone rubbing on bone it just brings a lot of pain. Every step or every movement I was making, it was just a lot of pain. I didn't want to put myself or my teammates through that by trying to play through that."

He's already had PRP with the bone marrow injections. They don't give bone marrow aspirate injections for a mere bone bruise - the arthritis is severe.

His days as an elite player are likely over. You'll see flashes like we saw with Roy. Wearing down cartilage, this has Andrew Bynum written all over it.

 

Again, this is not the Doctor's prognosis. Those guys that you mentioned had torn their meniscus, this is not a torn meniscus for Dwight.

You guys have had it worse throughout the years I agree with that. It sucks, especially when you draft a guy and he never really plays. We are going through that now with Clowney, who looked amazing in pre-season and had to tear up his knee first game of the season.

 

Howard is done bro. HIs injury is exactly Roy's. He will be out of the league in 2 years

 

He's a way-over-rated waste of space anyway.

 

No it isn't. You're 100% wrong here, there is no arguing this point. It isn't the same injury as Roy's was. End of story. Period.

 

If you say so...

 

We've had more injuries than you guys this year. Not even close.

 

How do you know? Are you some sort of medical expert and you've examined Howarf yourself?

 

I don't say so, this is not coming from me but from doctors around the situation and even Howard. If you don't want to believe that and want to compare the situation to any other player, that's on you I guess.

One thing to note that any one with basic medical training would probably tell you that no two injuries are the same any how with two different people. Just comparing it to Roy because both have injured a knee seems a bit out there to me, they are not the same injury as one injured his meniscus and the other did not.

 

We all know the denial well. Blazer fans said the same thing years ago. We used to say "CP3 made it through, Roy will do the same". In a couple years, we can have this convo again. It is the same

 

Bro, bro, bro....

Dude we've heard these same words from Roy and the medical staff. "The injury wasn't structural, etc". Just wait, the time will come when you will come to grasp with this injury like Blazer fans did with Roy

 

Even if D Ho's knees are OK it's not going to fix his brain or turn him into a good basketball player.

 

You're not going to convince anyone here.

Watching Dwight move laterally like Kendrick Perkins is more than enough proof that his knees are very arthritic.

 

Hope for the best for Howard.

It sucks to have to go through an injury, and we really shouldn't be telling a fan base someone is over. We certainly didn't want to hear it with Roy.

 

Except that again, Chris Paul tore cartilage in his knee, ROY DID. Dwight DID NOT.

I'm in denial, I'm telling you the facts of the situation. Makes it seem like you are just hoping it is true at this point.

 

At least if he is done the rocket fans never would feel the devastating pain of losing what was basically a franchise savior... The homegrown golden boy whose angelic hands were firmly gripped on every Blazer fans soul.
