<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Allan Houston ended last season on the bench and he could be spending the first 20 games of the 2004-05 season in the role of a well-paid spectator. According to a person close to the Knicks' shooting guard, Houston could miss the first month of the regular season. Houston, who is currently sidelined with a sore left knee, has not practiced or played since last March and likely will be placed on the injured list prior to Wednesday's opener in Minnesota. A source with knowledge of Houston's condition said he is "weeks away" from playing and added that Houston is hoping to return by December. Houston has refused to place a timetable on his comeback, saying repeatedly that he will return once he feels confident that his knee is strong. </div> Full Story This sucks, well at least jamal crawford gets to show his stuff, he might get the starting shooting guard job if the knicks really like him.
If Houston doesn't wan't to be booed he had better be ready. With all the time he's taken off when he finally comes back he has to be a huge factor. Houston gets paid more than Marbury and to be a non-factor in the game is just unacceptable.
I agree. When he comes back he better be a difference maker and he should be healthy the whole season if he's resting up that much.
