Dwight ain't playin. Jones and Beverley out both games as well.

We'll be lucky to get one IMO. Gotta win tonight somehow.

 

No Bev

No T-Jones

No Dwight.

This sucks.

 

Dwight resting up

 

This is going to be a tough game no matter what I feel. They have some good players and a very experienced coach.

 

Classic Rockets injury luck.

 

Capela is in the black. Dwight definitely ain't playing.

Lol

They have nobody without Cousins. Just keep an eye out for Marco and run them off the court.

George Karl is not a good coach

 

No cousins this should be a blowout

#keepwalkingdwight

 

As a major "you play to win the game" guy, I'm going to try to just shut the hell up about this rest and relaxation schedule for Dwight. Smarter minds than I seem to think it works. I just know that it assumes a lot about our ability to ape the Spurs' tradition of execution and effort at less than full strength.

For a traditional team, tonight is a blowout win even with our health problems. But for the Rockets, nothing is ever a lock.

 

this now becomes an absolute win tonite. if we lose and drop down to 2-4 in the standings, the front office is going to look downright stupid. especially since tomorrow nite will be a very difficult game with or without dwight. instead of playing dwight both games, instead of playing dwight in the game we can easily win, the front office is rolling the dice heavily against a 2-5 record.

 

Jones and Howard both out.

 

Lawson / Terry
Harden /
Thornton / Brewer
Ariza / Harrell
Capela / Hayes

I think this will be the first game McDaniels or Dekker get time. My guess is McDaniels.

This looks like a really questionable game to me. We could easily get blitzed like we did vs Denver.

 

Is there a timetable on Jones' return? What the hell kind of cut above the eye keeps someone out for a week?

 

They said it was on the inside of the eyelid. Kid gets the weirdest injuries. Haven't seen a timetable but Feigan did tweet he would miss tomorrow too.

Jones has the weirdest injuries for a pro athlete. Sigh...

 

Carl Landry had his teeth embedded in Dirk's arm and didn't miss this much time.
