    A win pushes our lead back out to 9 games AND would put us up 2-0 in the season series. Please, oh please let LA's immune system get him ready to play.

    So Batum gave it a go last night and played hurt. Might help explain why he didn't play well. I'd just as soon he sit out if he's not 100%.

    Anyone else notice Batum scored last night going to the basket on the exact play that got him injured the other night? It was great to see he didn't back off, and it was nice of the Rockettes to not Ariza him. And somewhat surprising in hindsight, considering all the cheap shots they dished out over the course of the game.

    This would be great in the other thread but I don't blame you for not wanting to step foot into the pile.

    something tells me hes not that sick.....
    you sit him against a rockets team that is hungry for revenge. on the 3rd game of our tough road trip. built in reason they won (no LA).
    THEN you have him fresh for a more important game against division rival OKC to go 2-0 in the season series and have a 9 game lead.
    my guess is he plays tonight, and plays well.

    hope he does!

    just to add, i don tthink we would have won last night with LA. the rockets wanted that game more than us. which is why i think LA not playing was smart.

    He is on the active list (you activate 13 and deactivate 2) but he isn't officially playing YET. He will play though imo.

    I think LA is going to be on a mission after the Houston loss. I just hope Claver gets to play off the bench.

    I disagree. We've been hot but there was too much pressure on our guys without throwing the ball to LA as an option. I think we could've beaten them. Look at how important Aldridge in our two wins at Houston last year.
