    Lulz. I'm just a big fan of bolding a person's name in an article, so you can scan and find the quotes easier...plus indenting them. Most news websites do that.

    But, I learned Bold is worthless in Dark Theme on the new BBS. It used to standout as off-white vs the normal white text, now it's just thicker white, and hard to tell. I settled on those dark pastels as supporting both themes best.

    cheers....yes, I know I'm a dork about thinking how to make articles easier to read :)

    Who cares? An Anderson for Melo trade was never approved. It's Gordon or Capela that would have got us Melo.

    He's hands down my favorite Rocket player on the team. Knowing what he's gone through, the teams, the injuries, the work he's put in. Im in constant awe of what he continues to do. I cant count how many times Ive been speechless during his drives, dunks, consecutive 3 pointers. This dude can ball, I hope he retires a Rocket. BTW F Austin Rivers

    Man, if we only had Real Eric Gordon instead of Imposter Eric Gordon last season.

    Wont win many games thinking like this....I really see the threads article as a move to help Ego's 3 point game which is in a slump. He's absolutely punishing teams on the drive right now, watch his 3 point % skyrocket in these next few weeks.

    Not including Eric Gordon in a Melo trade was one of the smartest moves of the offseason

    Man, why change what was working? If your shot isn't falling, I get driving to the lane to make something happening.

    This doesn't seem like it'll be sustainable for the season/playoffs.

    His legs will get tired quicker and he'll be more prone to injuries.

    I love it, and he has looked unreal this year. Like a completely different player.

    Not impossible at all. I remember when Eric Gordon was pretty young there was talk about him eventually becoming the best SG in the NBA. That's obviously out of the picture, but I can buy Eric Gordon being much better than last season (and he was really damn good last season).

    The Rockets are getting the best of Eric Gordon. The Rockets go as he goes since last season.

    He and Harden are a matchup nightmare every game

    the team was never going to send Gordon. He would have been playing along Melo but Anderson anchor of a contract got in the way. No point in comparing Gordon to Melo...they were never going to be swapped

    And Houston was never going to trade Gordon.


    We had an outside shot of moving Ryno before the ownership change. Gordon was never going anywhere

    Because Anderson’s huge contract made that the price of doing business.

    That’s whats happens when you overpay one dimensional players
