    Rockets will take this one. Do it for Yao. I assume Twill will not see playing time tonight because of all his physical stuff?...

    Yao's presence inspires near-perfect basketball. Rockets win, 101-3.

    Does he get time? I wasn't sure if this whole physical debacle would hinder that...

    T-Will most likely does not see any minutes. I'm not sure he's even practiced with the club because of all that physical crap..

    I doubt T-Will plays anything minus garbage time without any practice time. Even then, everyone has said he will need to show himself in practice before he joins the rotation.

    Memphis has a tall center rotation with Marc Gasol 7'1 @265lbs & Hasheem Thabeet 7'3 @267lbs. Given, we won the last matchup on Dec.3 @Memphis (127-111) the key to this game is to shut down the centers, hopefully cooling them off quick with foul trouble and limiting their second chance rebounds. Here's to hoping for a W (again)-

    Note* This may not mean much, but it surely raised my interest. On Yahoo Sports Depth Chart, they quickly replaced Chase Budinger's SF position, right under Shane Battier's with Terrence Williams.. Hmm

    T-Will explodes for 20 points in 6 minutes of garbage time, and ClutchFans demands he be traded for not passing the ball or being efficient.

    He should get minutes ASAP. Without Yao now, Battier is probably not in the long term future. He may very well be traded before the deadline. Teams that would be interested in him knows what he can do. No need to play him so many minutes now and risk an injury before the trade deadline. They need to get Twill on the floor and playing.

    At least give the fans something to look forward too in the future after the news yesterday. Get him in there dunking on people :grin:.

    Shane should teach him most of the defensive scheme and technique that he learnt throughout his career so we can replace Batman with TWill and move Batman to coaching staff or something. The problem is if TWill will show up in practice. Practice? we talking about practice? not a game. Practice!

    It's amazing how in the NBA, no matter how crappy you feel like you are doing, you are still close to a playoff seed.

    I hope to see more of J. Hill and P. Patterson in the coming games.
