    Just fyi... Rockets director of media relations Nelson Luis said Battier will be listed as questionable for Friday's game against Phoenix. So he's 50/50 to play.

    Just thought I'd pass that info along. Rockets column from tonight's game will be available tomorrow morning.

    Sweet Moses, if Battier doesn't play, that game just became harder to win than it already was. He's our best defender.

    Battier needs rest. I think Tmac also should sit on friday.

    Let our stars rest. Especially Yao if we want him to be effective come playoff time.

    So.. rest up Shane. you deserve it the most.

    we need to keep winning to stay in 5th. let the lakers fall to 6th. suns appear to move up into the top 2-3.

    I hope Tmac and Battier can get good rest so that we can win the last 3 games.

    The Suns seem to have figured out the Spurs with the Shaq trade. It will be interesting to see if they can beat other teams in the West.

    Oh yeah, and Rockets are likely to lose the Suns game anyways, so I would rather rest the banged up guys on Friday. The Suns are gunning for the top, there is no chance in hell they will lose that game to a far inferior team.

    We split the games with the Spurs, but they have a better division record than us:

    Spurs: 10-6
    Rockets: 8-8

    And the Lakers are first in their division, so you can throw out the tiebreaker for that.

    I see, thanks.

    But, the spurs will still play the lakers once, so we can over one team finally.
