Yes, we're going to lose all semblance of stability if both Camby and Dalembert are out. Might as well take it a step further. If Lee comes out cold, McHale should just see if KM can get something going. Martin sounds like he's kept himself in good shape. I don't think he'll look nearly as rusty as people think he will.

It is worth a try. Today will be the game that will decide if this team is willing to fight and stay in the hunt for a playoff spot or will go quietly into the off season again.
Too late the hero ... won't matter. It'll be the unavailability of the big men that will be the factor. How many points will Brendan Wright score on us again???
What good is that going to do..... Play him in the last 4 games..... showcasing him in limited minutes?
He wants to play, what is wrong with that? It seems my conspiracy theory about the org shelving him might have some legs after all. DD
You were saying they had an agreement that he won't play.... but obviously he will get some playing time.
Go to Rockets.com and actually watch the interview with Martin. He agree's that it wouldnt have been fair to himself and the team to have played the other night, and also explains the soreness in his shoulder getting over the injury. He also has a giant heat wrap on his shoulder. Give it up DD. The injury was not made up, and it makes no sense that the Rockets would NOT want him to be available to play. What freaking purpose would that serve? Or are you echoing Bill Ingram's ridiculous statement that the Rockets are trying to ruin Kevin Martins value so they can sign him for cheap after next season??? Might be the dumbest Rockets conspiracy theory Ive heard on this board, and thats saying alot.
Because Martin's a lockerroom cancer? It might be a dumb conspiracy theory, but I wouldn't put it past McHale to not play him.
By all accounts Martin works really hard during the offseason to be good at basketball. He just doesn't seem like the cancer type. I'm a Kevin Martin fan but after seeing what happened with Lowry, I'm a little nervous about him coming back. We do need his scoring though. Our offense just looks terrible sometimes
I am worried too.... but what the heck.... at the worst we don't make the playoffs..... Martin is just not as talented as I thought he would be......
I just can see how Kmart can come in to a game rusty due to not playing and help us win. I just hope I'm wrong.
He will be our boost n the 3rd Qtr. Our spark plug, getting to the line I hope! Welcome back K-Mart! Welcome to the fight!
