    Battier is probably resting since its the second game of a back to back but man this is going to be hard hopefully our depth would hold up

    The doctor's don't want Shane playing back-to-backs yet.

    Last night during the game, the announcers (Matt, I think) mentioned that Adelman was off Shane's Christmas card list for playing him so many minutes against the Pacers. They said something about him rolling his sore foot. This may be a factor. I was surprised to see as much of him against the Spurs, based on what Bill and Matt said.

    Man we're going to be stretched thin for this game. Look for 35+ minutes from Head again, with maybe 30+ minutes going to Landry or 20+ to Wafer. It also makes you wonder how long they're going to go without putting Dorsey out there for even one minute.

    another chance for Head to shine. against the right matchups, he can be a positive for this team. and by right matchups, I mean not Utah.

    battier was interviewed Wed i believe and he said that they are bringing him back slowly and he probably wouldn't play the second game of back to backs

    it's weird that he had so many minutes Wednesday night. i guess because mcgrady went out, but I still figured they'd limit is minutes no matter what.

    It will take Steve at least a month of steady practice to get back into game shape. I think we see him get some time in January.

    I hope Francis makes it back but I have my doubts. Still gotta admire the guy's heart to try and come back and play when he could just pack it in and enjoy all of his money.

    Denver is a good team, but we have enough to beat them even without Tmac and Shane.

    Well as ticked as I am we just have to remember this when it comes to the Houston Rockets. It's not about how hard you can hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and how much you can take while you keep moving forward with how much you can take! GO ROCKETS!!!

    There is no point in rushing Francis out there if it isn't fully ready. Especially with Brooks and even Head playing well. Better to get him to get more rehab.

    Damn. Shane always kills the ButtNuggets. I always look forawrd to seeing him in person in Denver.

    This game will have to be a total Ron-Ron shutdown of Melo and JR.
