    Omer Asik mild groin strain today in practice. James Harden back at practice after day off yesterday.

    McHale says he'll have a better idea of Asik's status tomorrow. Team does not believe groin strain serious, however.


    Please be okay, Omer. >_<

    The Phoenix loss was on the players. I don't put it on McHale. It was an annoying loss, so I don't blame him for being a bit ticked off. Trap game, they fell into the trap.

    Rematch should go a lot better, but Asik needs to be available.

    LOL without Asik, we will die in the defensive glass.

    We better show up or else we're closer to game over than ever.

    Hopefully Mchale won't let the bench play for a long time in the second quarter without Harden, lin and Parsons like in the last game.

    Yeah I see that now... I just can't help but think back to that game last year where the team just began to implode.

    Rest Asik. Groin strains can be pesky. Start smith & use Trob as a backup

    Trap game? really? with 19 games to go and fighting for their playoff lives? I think it's more that they fell into not being good enough to win on the road.

    That being said, lots of home games the rest of the way should help, if we have Asik. If Asik is out, we are in huge trouble.

    Nope either Greg Smith starts or the combination of Motiejunas and Robinson.

    It was a back-to-back, 3 games in 4 nights, on the road...Suns suck, but they're no Bobcats...our rebounding effort sucked, and our backcourt had too many turnovers...we will easily destroy the Suns tomorrow.

    they have 3 ex rockets in their rotation/starting lineup.. makes it harder for us to win since they all probably want to do well against us..

    Yes, it will be interesting to see how their emotions actually play out in the next game in their former home.
