    In three years I'll admit everything. Track this thread until then.

    How would you know? Did you not write this?

    ....."Terrence Jones (whom I believe will be our starting 4 barring a trade) is a monster on the glass and will be an awesome weak side defender with the ability to block shots. "


    Good golly miss Molly, that's worse than terrible.

    He's intriguing in our system to say the least. A little slow though.

    I'd honestly like to give Qi an opportunity to rub with the starters and see how he looks with them. He's on a minimum salary deal for three more years. If we could get great starter/rotation minutes out of him it would help the cause so much.

    Maker just came thru his sophomore campaign. Yes he could bust. So what. Capela is now a much greater risk. If Capela either regresses or gets hurt...we're stuck. There's too many big men. If they don't outperform their contracts significantly they are a dining fund in terms of trade assets.

    I'd still rather move Capela. Still doesn't make sense to pay him unless we trade him. And I'd gladly take a young big on a rookie contract that has shown suns ability to shoot the 3 and be a decent switching defender.

    take you own advice. if you truly are watching, you again aren't watching what is happening correctly. thats been your issue from the beginning, no matter how much you try to make yourself believe to be a guru

    for the 1000000 time #watchthegame is the other gimmick #yulec

    If they packaged you with me going out it would be a neutral package. Otherwise we have to keep you. Because you #costtoomanypicks.

    I've actually followed the Rockets for 28 years. I grew up watching the Kings in Kansas City as a kid. Then I adopted the Celtics when the Kings moved Rubio Sacramento. When I came to Houston I feel in love with the Rockets. They're my team now. I root for no other.

    Thanks for the compliment. It's ahead best to talk basketball instead of personality. Guys like to bring up dirt rather than be current. Then when I return the favor they get pissed. I can only imagine their on-court games. They'd be so easy to throw off their rhythm. Simply can't deal with somebody with wit.

    I have every play of the series broke down in a spread sheet. I watched every game multiple times. I know exactly who the Warriors zeroed in on and iso'd in every rotation group.

    Come back at me when you've done that and we'll compare notes. Until then...keep pretending. K?

    Ha.

    Just ignore the fact that Capela had the lowest Defensive rate AND highest offensive ratings of the entire team during that series.

    I'd like a copy of that spreadsheet, if that's not too much to ask.

    I legitimately think Buck fans are pretty damn low on Maker, like they'd probably take a decent second for him at this point.

    Could you share that spreadsheet? I'm sure it's pretty amazing considering it must have taken a ton of work. If you're worried about sharing all your proprietary data, how about just the data from one game?
