Rockets look for help in the middle

Theo Ratliff played tough defense on Yao Ming in 2006. Now, he could fill his spot in the middle. Link

Cancel that Theo Ratliff note. Not accurate says Feigen. Theo Huxtable? Maybe Ed Ratleff?

his last healthy season was 03/04. he used to be a baller, but now its hard to have him as your 3rd center, since he's injury prone, and could cause more injuries to the team, which is terrible.

uncle sam says NO TO THEO RATLIFF, so should morey.

but, if we can get him for vet min, he could be good for 10mpg. dont play him every game like in philly. but go for better guys seriously.

The Houston Chronicle is the largest newspaper in America to have never won a Pulitzer.

Does that answer your question?

if dorsey can play this season, ratliff would be a decent addition. i dunno how many times he was injured in philly, but he played spot games, proly do the same here, cuz he cant play a full season at his age and injuries.

should look for other guys if they available

If you guys think you are contending this season, I would sign him. It wouldn't hurt. Theo plays to his full potential. He won't dissapoint you guys, not at all.
Do you want to know why Dalembert demanded a trade......1) Theo was clearly the better center and defender......2) Theo took minutes away because Sammy was stupid. All he would is help you guys win. A great role play and person also.

I've always liked what Ratliff can bring to the table and would've loved to have him behind Yao, but at this point I have no clue what Morey's trying to do to fix our C situation.

he's injury prone since 03. that isnt good at all. specially w/ houston history of injuries. w/ yao out, we need a HEALTHY REPLACEMENT.

ratliff is a baller tho. he wold be a top 20 center or top 10 if he could stay healthy, imo. shot blocking is tops, good rebounder and can make some fts. if he was healthy he can get some easy buckets. but too bad he's injury prone as hell. it would fit in perfect w/ houston cept thats not how you play basketball.

ratliff and speights i wouldnt mind one tiny little bit.
