Chron: Budinger may miss vs. Lakers due to injury [UPDATE] Confirmed

Agree on the ; unless Kobe is sitting at the time I couldn't think of a worst matchup defensively (Kobe versus Lowry? verus Landry?). I have a feeling Adelman will have Ariza or Battier on Kobe, meaning a possible change to the starting lineup?

 

For this one game. I think it will be good for someone else to step and show what they can do - then we will know!

We can't lose this season. either we win over our heads or we test to see what we have in our players.

 

Yeah, I'm not sure why people are acting like the sky is falling on the Rockets all of a sudden. Sure, I wanted to see him play tonight against an experienced squad, but it'll be good to test some of the other fresh faces we have. Besides, we don't want to worsen his [currently] minor injury like Vince Carter did:

love it!

 

We needed him tonight, really badly.

Absolutely. Our rotation is too short since David Andersen isn't really useful against a strong team like L.A. We primarily used 7 players, leaving Chuck Hayes obviously gassed at the end of the game. He was running on empty in overtime.

Budinger's already an extremely important cog in our machine. Any injury to anyone in our top 8 is devastating at this point.

 

Good predictions.

 

Especially at the end when we ran his play for Ariza.

 

Lakers looked ready to me lastnight. Point blank right back at u. Its homework time.

 

They outplayed us point blank in my face....

I would say they snuck by, barely.

 

Any update on his injury? Will he be ready for the next game?

 

I believe he is still day to day.

 

Adelman say's he doesn't expect him to play tomorrow but "he's young so you never know".

 

Not too bad,could be worse. No need to rush him.

 

Balls.
