Anyone know how I can listen to the game via iPhone? I'm out in the hill country with no tv or internet and don't want to miss the first win of the season. Thanks in advance.
Jonathan_Feigen Pretty obvious from his pregame routine. Yao sitting out tonight. http://twitter.com/Jonathan_Feigen
wtf, the rockets are on crack. yao not playing vs the spurs really? I'm pretty sure we can handle the minnesota timberwolves without yao, but we need him for this game.
Guessing it will be.. Starters: Scola, Hill Backups: Jefferies, Patterson, and Hayes. Hope to see PP get some minutes.
I couldn't believe that the rockets has become a team who is afraid of an old spurs team. I don't think I can follow a team like this...
The good news is we will see what Hill is made of. And depending on the result, may have to re-evaluate Yaos importance and/or roll.
If Yao Plays: We don't need him. He's done. Get rid of Yao! If Yao Doesn't Play: WTF? We need Yao! I hate NB2B rule!
Guys, don't get so negative. We beat the Spurs last year without Yao, did we not? This is a good chance to see what Hill is made up of. Adelman did this to matchup better with the Spurs, at least according to Feigen. The Spurs have nobody over seven foot, while the Wolves do. Besides, Hill's youth and energy might actually be an advantage over the older Spurs. Patrick Patterson might also see some time. And with Yao sitting, it means we'll have him full-rested and dangerous against the Timberwolves, which most likely means an automatic win for us. If this ploy works, we'll be 2-4 by Sunday night. I believe, and so should you all.
I think we will pleasantly surprised by how much the defense improves now that we have a big who can rotate. See my Sig.
