Battier out for Denver game, Steve far from game-ready

Dorsey can bring some needed rebounding for a few minutes but not much else for now.

 

all for giving dorsey more minutes, its the only way he'll actually learn plays. bill took a jab at him on that last night.

 

Lol. When will people finally give it up.................

 

Matt was saying shane was joking that he took Adelman off his list because he played him so much. It wasn't that he wasn't suppose to play a lot, just unexpected. the back to back is more of an issue since the foot would be sore the next day. Also, he didn't roll his sore/injured foot, he twisted his ankle, but on the opposite foot, it had nothing to do with his sore foot, just an accident after he came down after contesting a lay up.

 

2005-2006 all over again. Quick! Get Keith Bogans, David Wesley and Lonny Baxter on the phone!

 

and weatherspoon. *shudders*

 

Heck call up Boki Nachbar, Van Gundy's not around.

 

as much drama as steve normally brings, isn't this playing out like predicted after the surgery. the season is only a month old

 

Is Battier out for sure, or is it a game time decision? Good D really brings the Nugs some trouble, I would have really liked him to be in.

 

When he retires or officially leaves the team via waived or traded. I don't see what is so wrong about fans wanting one of our players to succeed? Sorry but not everyone is a "francis sucks, head sucks, tmac is a p***y, yao is soft" type of fan. If your a rocket, I'm sticking behind you. Plain and simple.

 

I hate to say this, but it seemed that Steve is in the doghouse. In another Chron article/blog, Steve said that his knees were ready but his game was not, he was still learning the offense and his timing was off.

Even when relatively healthy as in the beginning of last season, Steve did not get much playing time. His style does not fit to Adelman's. And too bad his name is not TMac, or Yao Ming. I do not see TMac, Yao or even Atest's game really fits into Adelman's system, but I guess Adelman needs adjustment in that case.

Last night's win was truly inspiring, but I do not know how that kind of offense will win in the playoff. It was proven that Dallas, Kings, Phenix were not able to win with that kind of play. A win is a win, but TMac was not playing, Yao and Artest were not really playing their best. I would be much comfortable if the Rox consistently win games with their big three playing their best games.

Will we ever see that the big three play comfortably under the Adelman system?

 

you guys need to remember ron ron is hurt too....

 

Dang, I thought we might have had a good chance to steal this game from the Nuggets, but without Battier now, I don't think it's possible unless Luther throws up 30 with Artest and we get a good night from Yao.

 

don't ever assume you can win an away game on the tail-end of a back to back.

 

Pul Lease - folx have been hoping and praying to say 'I Told You so."

but it ain't over. . . .Stevie will return!!

Rocket River
Disingenuous? Maybe?

 

Guess we haven't been chanting "We want Steve" loud & often enough at Toyota Center. C'mon guys, we need 48 minutes of we want Steve.. infact, why don't someone just go ahead and scream in it Aldemen's ear during the games if they're sitting right behind the Rocket's bench.

 

No assumption, I said we can, so if we lose it's not because we don't have Tmac and Shane.

 

Tears of joy rolled down my cheeks...

 

I felt the same...

 

Thought about this, and it is possible he could be. And if so its unfortunate.

Whats the difference between bringing in some 10-day contract out of nowhere from overseas, or bringing in Mutombo or whoever after 50 games? From a guy that's already listed being ON the roster (Francis) that hasnt played in a while?

One player guy is saying he wants to bring success to for a team in a city he loves, and will do whatever the team asks - another is saying he won't play and will to take games off until its absolutely necessary he play, even though he was cleared to play. Who's really the bigger distraction?

Maybe I'm just not getting how bad a terms Francis leaves things in.
