基本无缘复出马刺 背什麽时候才能好起来啊 ROCKETS NOTES By JONATHAN FEIGEN Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle TOOLS Email Get section feed Print Subscribe NOW RESOURCES DAVID J. PHILLIP: AP Speak up in the Rockets forum Feigen on NBA Yao Central with fan blogger Ren Hsieh Complete Rockets coverage Ailing McGrady With his back sore from Tuesday's workout and flight from Los Angeles, Rockets guard Tracy McGrady did not work out on Wednesday as expected, making McGrady almost certainly out of Friday's game against the Spurs. "Some days he feels better; some days he doesn't feel quite as good. It's very similar to last year as far as there is no definitive answers, no clear -cut date of return. It's the worst place for a player to be, up in the air . I feel for him." Rockets athletic trainer Keith Jones said that it is common for McGrady's condition to fluctuate, even while playing. But while trying to come back from back spasms, soreness indicates a need to back off. "He did a lot yesterday so we gave him today off," Jones said. "He's actually done well. The doctor gave him a different muscle relaxer which has been good for him, and he knows how to position himself and take care of himself . But this is how it is even when he's playing, some good days and some he 's sore." Snap judgment Rockets forward Juwan Howard said he made a correction with his shot to snap out of a shooting slump. He would not, however, said what the adjustment was. "You start searching," Howard said. "I definitely started searching. ''I go back to looking at game film, look at my mechanics for what I'm doing wrong. There is a little secret I will keep to myself. ''There were some corrections I saw I had to make," Howard said. ''I made them. Hopefully, it will continue to get better." In the six games prior to Wednesday's at Portland, Howard had made 55.6 percent (25 of 45) of his shots. In the previous six games, he had made 23.1 percent (6 of 26). Confidence, however, had never wavered. "As a veteran in this league, I've been around," Howard said. "This is my 13th year. I've experienced some shooting slumps, but the only way to get out of a shooting slump is to keep working on your game and keep shooting. There may be a stretch where there might be another shooting slump , but I'm going to continue to shoot." Foul trouble With the Rockets allowing more than 100 points in their five games prior to Wednesday's, Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy said the game plan defensively was not complicated: "Play some." The Rockets ' daily meeting, however, was not that short. "They've been better offensive teams, certainly," Van Gundy said. "We've been fouling a lot more (averaging 25 personal fouls in those five games) . Starting the year, we really hadn't been fouling. We have to stop fouling . That would be the No. 1 thing. If we eliminate the poor fouls, that would help us. Then ability to guard the ball. We've had to double more with Luther being at the two. That's brought us into some poor rotations." Waiting it out The Rockets and Trail Blazers both had some odd scheduling heading into the game, with the Rockets arriving in Portland on Tuesday after 4 1/2 days in Los Angeles and the Blazers playing after four off days all at home. "We had the same thing last year (when the Rockets' game in Portland was the only game in five days on the road)," coach Jeff Van Gundy said. ''We went to Vegas, sitting around forever. That's not good. "I would have much rather played Monday in Portland, flown home and spent the time there before going to San Antonio. "The practice (on Tuesday) was fine. We wish we weren't sitting out here on the road for so long, wasting days." --
