    not good news, especially against a tough team like jazz..

    but i am sure everyone will step up,

    our team is much deeper this season.

    You know we just can't win for losing! DAMN! :mad:

    I hope he's ok and this is just a temporary thing and will be back soon. Man, this bites!

    Looks like Scola's our stating center today. Let's hope all our bigs can stay out of foul trouble. And Deke had better come in for every minute that Jarron Collins is on the floor. That's the only matchup in which he'll be effective.

    well damn.... let's see how scola/landry/hayes can handle boozer/okur.

    i'll be happy with a split between these next games. that win in portland was huge.

    we won the last game with him on the bench in the 4Q. So, if we get more out of tmac, scola, and carl landry..........we can still win this thing.

    We can beat the Jazzholes without Yao.


    Start Scola...he can guard Okur on the perimeter.

    who made him go to da club in portland? :mad:

    jk, but hopefully yao feels better for the warriors. i think this game will let us see if landry and scola can play big minutes v. good big men.

    Crap, that flu bug and the subsequent bronchitis is going all around Houston. It's a bear to shake off. Although I did read about this stuff they take in Norway you can get at the health food store that breaks down the bacterial protective layer so your own white blood cells can get at it. It's N-Acetyl Cysteine. I tried it and in three days knocked out my cough.

    Who are the starters tonight?

    I would predict Scola, Hayes, Battier, T-Mac and Alston.

    the game needs to be played. but unfortunate if we lose w/o yao tonight because LA lost, Portland and denver are both down double digits at the moment... ahh go Tmac and landry
