I just seem to remember things not being this bad(injury wise) prior to him being in charge.
On a side note, somebody should have told Landry to stop doing chin ups on the rim and swinging off of them at his apex like Tarzan. Not saying this was only something Jones should have said just a general statement. I would cringe everytime he did that. Looks good and all but it puts added strain on your knees. He would often land awkwardly.

It's not that, it's more that all of the injuries are treated immediately for the fastest recovery. It seems every so called return date always gets postponed because there's more to it than originally thought.

Right. I mean, these guys are meant to be experienced professionals who deal exclusively with our team and can thus be reasonably expected to have a fairly decent handle on each player's condition. Yet whenever injuries occur it seems like their initial prognosis (and second, and third, ad nauseum) is always off.
Way to fill the fan base with confidence in your abilities.
Good grief Charlie Brown!

Our medical stuff stinks , we can't hide it anymore.
Everytime I see Keith Jones's ugly face on the bench I get mad.
Landry keeps getting more swelling because they are working him out everytime.
He is injured let his knee rest for a week and they he will be ok , insted we are running him through hard workouts to see if he will be able to play , he gets swelling again and we drag this **** for 3 wekks and he is still not back.
Just like when T-Mac had to sit out a lot longer than originally expected , and for christ sakes he is our franchise player with Yao , since visiting that waco doctor he had no back problems how they did not find that for him before.
Keith Jones is a failure , he probably cursed.

I have a report from an insider source in Golden State. He was saying that Landry has a 70% chance to play on Friday. And if he doesn't play Friday than he WILL be playing Saturday against PHX. So, I think that sounds good and I am relieved.

Landry may play tonight
The Rockets could have at least one frontcourt reinforce-ment today at Golden State.
Forward Carl Landry, who has missed seven games with a sore right knee, is expected to test the knee at today's shoot-around in hopes of playing.
"We'll go hard at shoot-around," Rockets athletic trainer Keith Jones said. "We'll see how he does. If he feels the way he does now, which is pretty good, we'll give it a go."

Why not just let him play in the game and if it hurts then sit him? if they work him hard during the shoot around by the time the game starts he will be too sore to be effective.
