I know, I know, in playoffs, HCA is VERY important. However to this ROX team, T-M and Y-M MUST be heathy entering playoffs. Period.
This is a no brainer....Tracy and Yao healthy. They mean everything to this team in case you haven't noticed. We're a good road team, and we're going to have to win on the road if we want to win the championship anyway.
Yes, we are very good road team, thanks to M&M and the team. Also I think it's good to bring Bonzi back in game shape, and give the entire bench more minutes.
i mean seriously, will the bench even play much outside of head/howard? tmac will most likely play 42 mins b/c u have a day off every game. yao will play 36-38 mins. rafer, oh my god, will play 40+ mins. bonzi/snyder won't play much. JVG can't afford those offensive lulls we have. and you'll bet the tmac/yao pick and roll will be in full motion.
Utah down by 3 with 21 seconds to go. Man we really could have made up some ground should Utah lose tonight
Amen !! Brother. And to be clear....it is not really a case of Homecourt versus health....it is a CHANCE at homecourt vs health. Big difference. DD
Wow..I am in disbelief...Utah loses two games with no excuse at all...at least we sort of get one (though I think missing Zack and Lamarcus and the fact that they are a lottery team should have meant a win regardless) with the absense of our two main guys...I was so hoping we could pull out todays game... -V
Hahaha isn't this just a b****? We lose to the Jazz but then Utah goes and drops 2 games. We do the same but you can't help thinking those were games we could have won. If we hadn't lost the Warriors game or if at least Yao played for the Blazers game we'd have homecourt right about now, but then again, the Jazz probably know we gave up so they are also mailing a few in? Oh well we're not destined to have homecourt, can't you see it? We're destined to beat them without homecourt.
looks like utah played boozer 40 minutes, Okur 37 and Fisher 38. Deron played 16, but their starters still played a lot. I don't think sloan is one to rest their starters this early.
Good point. By the way, is it just me? It seems the last 7-8 games are anything but "usual." For example, Nuggets beat Mavs 75-71. (Yea it's not half time scores.)
M&M's health is WAY more important than HCA. Without Yao and McGrady in the lineup, Utah will finish us in 4 games.
i don't think he's asking a question.. more trying to say that we shouldn't worry about homecourt because it would come at the cost of resting our stars
Catchy title but please try to actually type words out. Some of us older guys spend too much time trying to decipher your title to have any energy left to actually answer the question.
