Taylor Coming Back to Houston

Okay, now Morey and Adelman are just messing with his head for laughs. Less than a week in the D-League, and he's back in the NBA? What changed? Rationalizations and conspiracy theories go in the comments.

hiding an injury?

i remember hearing that battier has been hurt (shoulder i think)…or maybe budingers not completly healthy…or Maybe a trade that sent somehow a 2-1 (with us getting one)…

heres the battier news:

Shane Battier has been playing with a sprained left shoulder since January 22nd, which he aggravated during Friday’s game.
Battier described his shoulder as “sore as hell,” but he felt better on Saturday doesn’t sound likely to miss any games. He’s normally a borderline option so start considering your alternatives.

maybe

I could believe that but I think what’s more likely is that Will Conroy has kind of been a bit of a disappointment as a back up PG to Brooks while K-Low is still out. Past couple games i’ve noticed that whenever Brooks goes out and the back ups come in there has been a dip in offense with Conroy, who looks like he’s having trouble running plays. I think calling Taylor back up might be a good idea so as to prevent stretching Brooks too thin. Maybe?

I think so too. It's more a matter of Conroy panicking everytime he sets foot on court.

And our play going down as a result. My hunch is that they’ll try Taylor or Bud at the point sometime.

I wonder whether Will’s 10-day contract will be extended, or we’ll not extend and just make do with our current line-up until Kyle comes back.

Check the roster

Notice how in closing minutes of blowout Ademan had Cook,Dorsey and Andersen on floor w/Bud and Conroy?
There only wings the Rockets had were Ariza,Battier and Budinger. One gets in foul trouble, or tweaks an ankle and who’s left? Lowry could defend SGs so it wasn’t a huge issue as he was effectively the 4rth rotation wing,but w/him out w/an injury…
Looking at the RGV boxscores it looks like they brought JT off the bench all 3 games,prepping him for his role w/Rockets.

There are only 3 games to weeklong All-Star break and that should be enough time for Lowry to heal. Conroy stays for those three games and then gets some nice parting gifts.
