    Harden and Lin should take this game off and rest up.

    The only way the nets would win if Jkidd suited up =)

    Man...something about a Rockets basketball-less Thanksgiving. Can't wait for this game, even if it's the Frankenstein Nets. Rockets 108, Nets 93. Kidd drops his keys.

    JVG used to pull that stuff all the time with Diet Coke six-packs.

    Our bench alone would be a challenge for them. This game is definitely winnable even without Lin and Harden.

    Rest Lin, don't play him even if he's able to play. If Harden plays, limited minutes off of the bench. Unless the real Pierce shows up and Joe Johnson has a big game, Beverley, Garcia and Brooks can lead the team to a victory.

    What's our rotation going to be if Harden, Lin, and Brewer(?) are all injured?

    @plgtrojan Shootaround taking place now. Think James probably plays tonight. Doubt Jeremy does, but as coach says: we'll see.

    if james isn't healthy we should inject more of aaron brooks and the second squad. We could use games like this to strengthen our bench and the whole team could be more harmonious. Let some of the 2's play with dwight and chandler.

    Jeremy Lin has a Grade 1 knee sprain & contusion. Out 2 weeks, Re-evaluated then. #Rockets

    Gonna be a fun two weeks on this board--whether we win or lose.

    Should be another blowout win for them Red Nation Rockets Boyz.

    I don't believe in the trap game analogy because these are all professional teams.

    The Any Given Day rule applies.

    Knee sprain? Yowch.

    Guess we're going to find out how deep our bench really is...

    Just when I thought Greg was back

    @MarkBermanFox26: Rockets center Greg Smith (knee sprain) had hoped to play tonight but says he will be out for at least a couple more days.

    From knee injury site:

    There are 3 grades of knee sprains:
    Grade 1 – a few fibres (less than 10%) are damaged/torn. Usually heals naturally
    Grade 2 – more fibres are torn but the ligament is still intact.
    Grade 3 – the ligament is ruptured – completely torn. May require surgery
