I don't know about Yao. I mean I don't know if we really need him for that one game. We all know GSW used to play great defense on him which foreces him to turn the ball over and doesn't give any easy buckets. So with Yao out we can try up-tempo game. We can try to really run.

Don't get me wrong.


I don't think this will work McTracy. GS are built to run and they run every game whenever possible, and so get a lot of practice at it.

The Rockets on the other hand, hardly ever run, and when we do ... witness the results against Portland 2 games ago - lots of stupid turnovers.

I do think we should run more, and get better at it. But I don't think we should try it against the Warriors. That style of game suits them more than us. If anything, we should go big and pound them. Try to slow the pace down.

I personally don't have health insurance but paid 20 bux waiting in line at the free clinic to get mine and remained healthy ever since despite people coughing and sneezing on everything and around me. Damn these mofos.


flu shot doesn't prevent you from getting a flu

It prevents from most major flus or keeps it from acculmulating to something worst. Regardless these guys have access to the kind of medicine most don't. They can easily prevent this type of ****.

If the players don't get flu shots I don't know why they don't. It is effective at preventing or reduces the severity of the flu.

I know right? Even if the league health care didn't provide them with it they can easily bring along their wallet and shell out the full price for every **** shot they need at the local hospital. These guys are some stingy idiots.

It would've been stupid for him to play. First of all the Flu is extremely contagious and having 7 guys on the team get it would be bad beyond belief. But also, the flu makes you extremely tired and for a game at the end of January it simply was not worth it for him to play
