Just heard it on Fox26, not sure if it was mentioned before... They said Deke got the "green light" from team physicians to play against Utah, I think his fingers will be taped though, so not sure how that will affect his aggressiveness on defense (shot-blocking, etc). Regardless, any big man presence on D is sorely missed and hopefully will help us a bit.
heard it as well. that's good to hear though. we're going to a much better team with Deke back in the lineup.
actually, i heard it earlier this afternoon on sportsradio 610. Dave Harberson, or whoever it was said it during the updates.
Glad to hear Deke is coming back, he's no Yao, but he'll still rebound and block like no other. Hopefully we'll see some other Rockets back soon, seems like Alston just fell off the face of the earth.
Deke will help, but I'm not sure how much since Okur will park himself on the three point line. At least Utah will be playing the second game of a back to back, and the first game went to overtime. They should be a little worn down.
he will look like a pageant girl. deke coming back is huge. tracy will still be double/tripple teamed, we will still struggle to score 85, but deke will help keep them under 90 so we have a chance.
Actually, I think John Barry and Rafer would make the biggest difference....outside of Yao of course. We need people who can shoot and dribble..... DD
