Y!: "O'Neal (personal) is unlikely to play until Monday at the earliest, the Arizona Republic reports. O'Neal is away from the team to be with his teenage daughter, who is resting comfortably following a successful heart procedure."
Hoping and wishing that our Bench will carry us for the win tomorrow..Harden and Lin are clearly exhausted and needs to rest for a bit...
Gorgi vs Lin. I hope they go at each aggressively wanting to show that their teams made the right decision!
There has never been a more trap game in the history of the NBA. Back to back, against an underdog team at home, ex-Rockets players playing hard against their old team, etc.
With the Suns having no Oneal or Gortat...we better not lose this game or Im jumping off the bay bridge..lol
Hope we win this one. Suns have been terrible but we cant be complacent because key players in their rotation are ex-rockets and they might play with an extra oomph. I hope we dont play down to the competition again. Lets go rockets!!!
SCOLA Lin vs Dragic (Dragic won the first round - when Lin got cut) I hope we have an answer for Morris and Morris :grin:
I have a weird feeling about this game... Back to back, on the Road, after a tough win against a play off rival where our starters played big minutes, going against a team of Ex-Rockets trapped in the cellar with nothing to lose... one of whom we traded away not even 2 weeks ago. "It's a trap!"
McHale will counter the lack of Gortat and J.O. by playing small-ball, and Asik for less than 20 minutes. He'll also play Brooks (poor defender) off the bench on Dragic, allowing Dragic to get 20pts on Brooks alone and better numbers than Lin, just to stick it to Morey for trading his favorite player away. And Scola will get his 20-10 by ice-cream scooping around the athletic TRob and DMo (by the way, Scola is DMo's favorite player) and Mook will take Parsons/Delfino off the dribble and back him in the post to prove he's Carmelo Anthony, not Channing Frye. And Dragic will struggle against Lin but get bailed by McHale playing AB on him. If all else fails, McHale will put Harden on him and make sure Harden turns his head on him and let Dragic 'Thabo Selfolosha' him. And Rockets still win. Don't ask me how. I didn't write the Linsanity script.
the suns dont have a center , gortat and jermaine oneal out , this should be a layup drill unless u consider haddadi a center lets win the next 4 all very winnable games
I have the same weird feeling like Torocan! There will be one shining quarter for Suns. Their players will play their hearts out. Wait, that is the preferred offense by McHale! Next, they will counter with their defense. Several of Suns will answer McHale with, "Yes, Coach!" Will be an interesting game!
