I think the once with increased minutes will be Landry +10 Hayes +10 Andersen +5 and Chase +5 asl is likely to play Battier at PF some time giving extra mins to Cbudd.
McGrady is a 2/3. The Rockets need a 4/5. McGrady can't help them down low.. I see Dorsey coming back and rotting on the bench just to have an extra body. Guarantee you Dorsey probably wont be used.
Are cuts and stitches near the eye our new curse now? This reminds me of when Battier suffered the same fate back during Game 1 of the playoffs against the Lakers.
I'd take that curse over the knee, spine, and foot curse that the team had before. One can only hope that the Rockets have moved on to this new curse.
if this means Brian Cook sees action I am going to pray to all the Gods in all the religions that Scola comes back asap
I doubt Cooks sees much time. It seems he was ineffective when given minutes last game, and Adelman learned that the team was better off going with a SF (Battier, Ariza) at the 4 rather than Cook. The matchups are different this time, but I don't really see what Cook brings that Battier and Ariza don't. He's a bigger body, but it's not like he actually defends well or rebounds well with that body.
But he has heart! If Rockets basketball was an inspirational movie, it would be awesome if he played. LOL.
pretty much sums it up. cook can't box out and get rebounds or defend. I'd rather have someone on the floor that can defend and get rebounds. Cook's offensive game is putrid.
Brian Cook and his heart is needed on the bench for towel waving duties, which he can do quite well. The Rockets have a great +/- while Brian waves the towels.
Has Landry never started for the Rox before?... Or just this year? I kind of like him as our secret weapon off the bench - our Hondo - but let's see what he can do starting. I don't see why RA just doesn't start Andersen instead.
It is very likely that Pops really wanted to Play and didn't have the patience to wait for a golden opportunity like now. As for Dorsey, it would be nice for him to grab some Rebounds, Block the Paint, and add Intensity... One good thing I see about Scola not playing is more Bud, some Taylor, Cook, and last but not least Landry getting Mega Minutes
We're gonna have to draw straws for that battier quote sig hehe. Thought for sure I didn't see anyone else with it.
I hope he gets better soon. I admit I'm worried about this day to day status after missing on Wed. I like Luis very much(my favorite Rocket after Yao),but I like Landry too. It's good to see him start.
According to chronicle, Scola expects to play Wed... he said he was ready to play Sunday after the stitches. Scola too tough to miss a game due to a guy's long finger nail. He prolly sufferd far worse from a girl before he got married.
