No Battier, Barry or Mac tonight. On a team that's rolling, especially at home, I'm not sure we have what it takes, especially coming off a back to back. Yao HAS to have a huge game if we have any chance. I won't even mention Artest, him shooting under 38% is a given.

No Battier ???

How far is Steve Francis from getting a look?

When the Rockets headed to Denver on Saturday without Tracy McGrady, Brent Barry and Shane Battier, Francis also did not make the trip.

I think it's more precautionary since it's a back to back.

This is terrible. Oh well, it'll be nice if we find a way to win this game without all those players. I don't know why Steve Francis cannot play, he looks healthy and in shape to me... I hate Adelman.

It feels like you put more effort for the Nuggets part of the thread. This is sacrilege!

Eh. I didn't know there was a game today.

I'm predicting another big game by Von Wafer.

naw i don't think so the doctors haven't cleared him to play back to back.. im sure we'll see him next game.

even though we are with out 3 players i still think we can win this game.. but it will be ugly

Oh lord, Head is starting. I just hope he dont make bad decisions.
Only 30 minutes till game time.

luther played well last night as a starter. i dont think we should chastise him until he actually does something wrong... with that said please luther just shoot and cut no dribbling minimal passing buddy

go rockets!

DreamShook34 · Post #14 » by **DreamShook34** » Mon Dec 1, 2008 1:23 am

Yao looks like hes recognizing where the double is coming from and getting that guy the ball.. it would be alot easier if that guy would cut..

I'm worried about Denver's second team thats the team that has all the shooters/scorers

A.J. · Post #15 » by **A.J.** » Mon Dec 1, 2008 1:23 am

I like the fact that we are giving the ball to Yao, but we need to stop turning the ball over.

A.J. · Post #16 » by **A.J.** » Mon Dec 1, 2008 1:28 am

Is it just me or is it quiet in Denver?

A.J. · Post #17 » by **A.J.** » Mon Dec 1, 2008 1:36 am

Good first quarter...I little shakey at first but we came back. I hope Scola is ok after that hit in the jaw.

Teckon · Post #18 » by **Teckon** » Mon Dec 1, 2008 1:40 am

what a lineup to start the 2nd quarter...

YoungMoney23 · Post #19 » by **YoungMoney23** » Mon Dec 1, 2008 1:44 am

Will be a good win if we pull this off

ShaY · Post #20 » by **ShaY** » Mon Dec 1, 2008 1:45 am

I am afraid we just don't have enough good players tonight , especially with Brooks sucking.
