Get well soon, James/Luc/Nene/Joe Black/that one cheerleader with the...nevermind.

In the meantime, Spaceman with the jam!
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

30-11 at the midway point of the season.
Not bad, especially considering the litany of injuries the team has endured.

You have a good team. I still love DAntoni's offense. But I noticed from the box score that he ran a seven man rotation, in a blow out win, in January. Is he still doing this regularly? Its the one thing I hated about his coaching. The short rotations. The Suns were just shot by the time they got to the playoffs.

if you look at the boxscore then you should see the rest of the team are injured
only 8 players dress for this game

Harden and Luc Mbah a Moute are in regular 9-men rotation, both are injured, i'm sure people know that by now
Nene is also injured
Black got poke in the eye in the previous game, he didn't even fly with the team
Troy Williams and Zhou Qi are both injured
no idea what is wrong with Onuaku, haven't see him play this season
good news is Luc Mbah a Moute and Black may play in the next game

He didn't have much of a choice. Had eight players out and eight players dressed lol

They've had a nine to ten man rotation (Black only plays if one of Nene or Clint are struggling/in foul trouble) when healthy and now have Green who will likely continue to get burn. So they'll be at least a ten man rotation team when healthy

They signed RJ Hunter to a two way deal. Having a good G League season but I wouldn't expect anything out of him. They kinda ran out of options for that spot. He's a shooter and not much else

Return to Houston Rockets
