<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Injuries happen every year</div>Precisely what I was going to say. What's the big deal, you listed Dirk for some reason. Yes he got hurt but he played. There's a reason why it's so rare for guys to have ironman type years like Morris Peterson and Michael Finley in the past. It's a physical game, injuries are bound to happen.

I like what was said about it being something to do with the runknowns stepping up. I think that is a very good point.

He's apparently out for 6 weeks with a bruised knee.</div>What? When did this happen. He played against the Spurs last night and he was totally fine. He actually got to sit out alot of the game because of foul trouble. He wasnt even needed because the Spurs were playing like sh*t...This must have happenned in practice or something.And I dont think it has anything to do with the Rockets being unlucky. I think it has more to do with the Rockets signing injury proned players....Well, I guess that could be considered unlucky. ha
