A little housekeeping

A lot of times Dave and I won't post about the most obvious things, but I'm going to try to be better about that. Here is my first effort:

Von Wafer makes the team: I should have already posted about Von Wafer making the team over DJ Strawberry. Personally, I wanted the Straw man, but I have no problem with Wafer. He's a solid player and I hope he actually makes it to the court this year. Chronicle Article

Aaron Brooks out 1-3 weeks: Brooks will be out with a bone bruise on his right ankle. This is the opposite of good news. I have no idea who will run the second team point. Head? His handles are among the worst guards in the league. Wafer? I haven't seen enough of his handles to be sure. McGrady? When will he rest if he does this? Barry? He's old and is meant to be a spot up SG for us. I can't see that one as much. Stevie Franchise? Is he healthy at all? The lack of preseason play says no.

Battier still out: Shane is still trying to work his left foot back into playing condition. I don't exactly know how you do that. I was under the impression that feet healed by staying off of them. I guess there are levels of activity that strengthen the foot since, if I remember my anatomy classes right has around 33 muscles in it. Either way, Shane is still out for a while. Chronicle Article

Can't financial terms of both of their contracts don't allow it without paying a ridiculous amount for one of Wafer or Strawberry

in a perfect world...

We’d have cut Francis a LONG time ago… but the Rockets cannot cut him and meet their goal of avoiding the luxury tax. So… we are stuck with Francis. We can’t even offer him a buyout right now.

Funny

This would of been the 2nd time francis has been payed to not play. Even though it makes me sad to say it, that shows you where his career has gone. Im really excited about the season starting up though finally. CLUTCH CITY

I'm glad that Von Wafer made it...

but the injuries to Brooks and Battier suck. The injury bug has been hitting a lot of teams early this season, including my Blazers. It is hard to find a ‘silver lining’ with injuries, they are pretty much all ‘down side’. I hate that.

Good Luck with your game against the Memphis Grizz. I think that is a Rockets win! The question is by how many points?
