Didn't watch the interviews, but it's obvious they said they are happy to have him back. What else could they say. They're teammates

That would be hilarious But Omer didn't deserve such treatment. On the other hand we're looking much better playing without him that we looked at the start of season with him

I am more intrigued at the notion that he wants to play for the ROCKETS OR JUST START......if its the first then I applaud him,if its the later then he can start on another team....and whats up with the attitude/pouting??!! You are playing a game and make millions !!! cool out and realize its a business and not about you...J/S.

That's not the issue. As he sat on the bench for the first time he didn't refuse to play. He was not under the weather. He was ready. But he also didn't expect to play only 4 minutes.

After the Sixers game he started to think that the team doesn't need him anymore. (He played 4 minutes, Howard played 42 minutes LOL)
I can imagine how he felt. I think he request a trade after the Sixers game. He go from starter to 4 minutes.

Asik is a short tempered person like most Mediterranean people. Try to understand him.

Right. But you should also mention that the defence was bad without Dwight and Omer

dlDwight should be playing less. The less he plays now, the fresher he'll be later. He should be playing less than 30 and Asik should be playing more than 20.

Baby Omer says he was frustrated but ready to help my team win

Saying he was “frustrated” but little else, Rockets center Omer Asik said he was ready to move on after last week’s benching and the absence for several days that followed. He would not, however, said if he would still like to move on from Houston.

“The thing is I was just frustrated,” Asik said at Tuesday’s shootaround. “It’s behind me now. I’m just looking forward to help my team to win.”

Asik did not address his trade request or his unwillingness to play or practice last week.

When asked if he still wanted to be traded, Asik would not comment.

“I do not talk about that,” he said. “I never talk about that. My focus is just winning tonight’s game (against the Celtics) and helping my team as much as I can.”

Asik was replaced in the Rockets’ starting lineup last Wednesday in Philadelphia, playing just four first-half minutes that night. At the team’s daily meeting the next day, he said he was not ready to play that night against the Knicks. He was held out of that game and did not attend Saturday’s shootaround or game against the Nuggets in Houston. He returned to practice on Monday.

Asik would not say if he was “frustrated” with the lineup change, playing so little in Philadelphia or the diminished role whether coming off the bench or starting since the Rockets’ July acquisition of Dwight Howard.

“I really don’t want to talk about any specific things,” Asik said. “It’s behind me now. That’s all I can say.”

...

Asik said little about his apology to the team, saying he wanted to keep that inside the team and again shifting attention to the game against the Celtics.

“Of course we talk, but it’s inside of the team,” Asik said. “I’m not going to talk about what’s happened. It’s between me and everybody. I’m just be professional and do my job.”

“I’m not here just for two months,” Asik said. “I’ve been here for more than two years now. I’m just being now good, ready for tonight’s game.

“I just want to be on the court, playing. I’m not going to be anything else.”

McHale: Come on everybody! Hey, team! Huddle up! (clap clap clap clap) Omer has something he wants to tell us....uh, James! (motions to far end of locker room) No time to go iso, buddy! Huddle up with the team! (clap clap clap clap)

Harden: (sotto voce) Man, when we gettin' George Karl...

McHale: OK, everyone, Omer has something he wants to tell us. Don't you, Omer? (clap clap clap clap)

PatBev: Damn, coach, he's foreign, not deaf.

Omer: (eyes downcast) Omer sorry.

McHale: (clap clap clap clap) That's great, that's great. What are you sorry for? That you let your teammates down?

Omer: (eyes downcast) Yes, Omer sorry. Omer just frustrated. Tells Meester Daryl not to send him to Sacram-, to Sacram-, er, you know, how you say, to the Bad Place.

McHale: And you won't do it again?

Omer: (starting to grind teeth) Yes, Omer already says, he is sorry.

PatBev: That's okay, dude. We're all behind you. (slaps Omer on the butt) Like this! Get it? BEHIND! BEHIND YOU! AH HA HA HA...

Omer: MIDGET WILL BE SILENCE! MIDGET WILL NOT TOUCH OMER!

PatBev: Aw hell naw, that's jacked up....

Dwight: (steps forward) Omer, hey, I feel bad for you, but you can't talk to my boy like that.

McHale: (clap clap clap clap) Come on, guys, let's go have a good practice....

Omer: (lunging forward, goes Latrell SPrewell on Dwight, choking him out) You ruin Omer's life! Dog! DOG! Seni lanetliyorum! Senden nefret ediyorum! Ben Çingeneler için doyurmaya!

Dwight: AGH! AGH! Get...him.....off....me, AGGH! AGH!

Morey: (in corner with Jonathan Feigen) Uh, you know what to do.

Feigen: (typing) Saying he was “frustrated” but little else, Rockets center Omer Asik said he was ready to move on after last week’s benching and the absence for several days that followed. He would not, however, saY if he would still like to move on from Houston.

“The thing is, I was just frustrated,” Asik said at Tuesday’s shootaround. “It’s behind me now. I’m just looking forward to help my team to win.”....

Lol... If this basketball thing doesn't work out. I have a feeling that Omer can have a pretty good career as a professional wrestling heel.
