    IDK, according to White, it seems there was a understanding between him and the organization that the organization failed to follow? Any know hows on this?

    Why are the Rockets lifting weights pre-game? That'll ruin your shot! :mad:

    Players that are informed pregame that they will not get rotation minutes are assigned to workout before the game rather than after the game when its 10 at night. This is very standard in the NBA.

    Rotation players WILL NOT lift until after the game.

    If even 10% of the comments in these threads were of this quality CF would get on my nerves a lot less.

    So he thinks Twitter is the serious medium to talk about mental health?

    Then why does he keep retweeting the idiots?

    Problem is, nobody can take you, as a person, seriously anymore.

    Good Job

    His tweeting is so bad he leaves us only with 2 options:

    1. If his disorder is not making him tweet all these stuff, then he has proven himself to be extremely immature, irrational, self centered and therefore not deserving of minutes or special consideration.

    2. If his disorders are the problem then its clear these disorders make him completely unable to lead a the life of a proffesional baskeball player in the NBA.

    Either option is probably ending his career. I wish his support network had been a hell of a lot stronger but I suspect he is not the type to ask for advice before he rushes headlong into trouble.

    I think this is the best course. The investment for this year is already sunk. They may as well see if he can get back on track. It's different than the McGrady situation because he was such an integral part of the team and could poison the locker room. White has no such relationship with his teammates and they can afford to give him space to turn things around. This is ugly, but hopefully not irreparable. He is young and ill, but very talented.

    The Rockets need to fine White for every dollar they can get out of him and if I was his agent, I would drop his ass! This guy is completely ****#in' bonkers!

    As Austin's dad famously said "if you have an issue, here's a tissue". The Rox just need to cut him and be done with his issues

    "last thing" for maybe 20 minutes because he said the same thing about 80 tweets ago.
