Definitely sit Yao out, not worth the risk. Sit Artest out too. Play Tmac as sub and limit his minutes.
good stuff when it comes straight from the source. hopefully guys who are fully healthy play. if they are not near 100% sit down and rest up.
Well, I guess thats good news. Thanks for the update Fritz!!! Enjoy your article, interviews, and blogs.
Thanks Jason. Sounds great. Let em all play....we need to win as many as possible and get the chemistry blip out of the way. The sooner the better. DD
^^My sentiments exactly. These last 30+ games are where the contenders separate themselves from the pretenders. For the Rockets to be contenders, which they have all the talent to be one, have to get healthy. Dropping one or two games here and there for even more victories in the future is the most pragmatic route to take.
Thanks for the update. I feel that the trainers are more cautious in bringing all three back which is understandable. If Yao and Artest plays the next game, I would be surprised. Although, if McGrady plays, I wouldnt be surprised. I feel that the Rox would rather wait for him to play against the Knicks than have him play against the Pistons. We'll see tomorrow.
great news. really looking forward to tonight. i still have no doubt that if this team is healthy, chemistry will not be a problem in the long run. t-mac and battier start, von and artest off the bench. i like it.
Yo've got to be kidding. A knee bump is shut-down painful, but it's not an injury. If they're even thinking of sitting him without having an MRI done today then our staff's just clueless at this point.
Thanks for the update. Can you now tell us how each of the three will do once back on the court, including the elusive chemistry impact?
Agreed if Yao is okay he should play. It's not like we have a playoff spot locked up where we can just sit players that can play or want to play.
If McGrady is ready to go, so play him. If he is playing like a b****, bench him. Adelman needs to coach with some balls. He also needs to start Motumbo. If Detroit goes small and has Wallace at center, then don't put him in.
All need to play, we need Artest and T-Mac to buy into Adelman's offense and have our rotations set. Team chemistry is a must for us to get a great playoff seed.
<br> The Pistons play really small ball <br> Their starting five looks like this if I'm not mistaken.. Sheed Prince Hamilton Iverson Stuckey <br> But I think last game they played Amir Johnson for quite a bit Anyways, if Yao sits, they should start Carl Landry or Chuck Hayes. Mutombo wouldn't make sense against the small lineup that the Pistons field
