    16 minutes? 4 minutes a quarter? I guess that's better than nothing.

    I imagine he'll play 20 at least if the score is close. If Dwight's already hit 16 minutes by the middle of the 4th and the Rockets are up by only a basket, is McHale seriously gonna pull him from the game?

    I'm pretty sure when he came back before he was supposed to play 20-25 minutes and ended up with about 30 so it depends how the game goes I guess

    Not buying this 16 minute restriction. I'm thinking 22-25 tonight, especially if it's a close game and Davis is putting up GOAT numbers.

    Agree, they usually say it's 15-20 minutes and players end up playing 25-30 :)

    What's the injury status of Tyreke Evans and Asik? Both missed their game on Sunday.
