Kurt Thomas out of game

Brown in the Tribune:

<<D’Antoni said he will use several different players to make up for Thomas’ loss and will likely give centers Sean Marks and Pat Burke the first shot tonight when the Suns meet the Rockets in Houston.

“We want to continue using eight players, especially in the first half,” he said. “It will be a game-to-game thing. Sean, Pat, Marcus (Banks), Jumaine (Jones), Jalen (Rose) … depending on if we need a big guy, a medium guy or a little guy. When you look at it, without Kurt we have the same team we had last year with Amaré (Stoudemire) in place of Tim Thomas.”>>

Did he really just say Pat?

Move Marion and Diaw up a position when Amare needs rest and give some SF minutes to either of the Jones' or Rose. Hell, do anything, just keep Burke off the floor during meaningful gametime.

Hey, this lines up as a big game for Burke. No way Mutombo runs out to contest his three-pointers.


Seriously, I imagine Jumaine will get the first call to take KT's place, both tonight and down the line.
