    I'm excited. It took us half a season to see how to integrate WB and we updated our roster at the trade deadline to reflect it. Perhaps not the "all in" people thought but we are in on style and fit.

    It’s going to take a few games to acclimate Roco and unfortunately a few weeks to get Caboclo in there. Both of them have experience in the system though. I think Westbrook is going to thrive.

    I'll let you know if I'm excited after the Lakers game.

    Sample size of 1, but this game will be very telling.

    Of course we have to play maybe the biggest Frontline in the league the first game. I'm ready to get it cracking. I want to believe this will work but the fact every team that wins the title is paying tax makes me feel like we just don't have enough. The philosophy might be sound but we just might not have the personnel to execute it at the level required for a championship.

    sure am, any fan would be to see how it will play out with Roco

    I'm sure EG will be on the block this summer for a center if this blows up in Tilman's face

    I’m actually pretty excited by this. Is it a huge risk? Probably so. Why the hell not? They tried it with a rim running non shooting big and it didn’t work well enough to win it all.

    There will obviously be some times (probably more than not) that size will give them problems, but going small will present some problems for the opposing D too.

    Going to be interesting.

    Yeah. I'm excited. I liked Capela BUT grew tired of him getting mysteriously sick during playoffs, tired of him laying shiit up rather than slam dunking, tired of his poor FT Shooting, no jump shot, no 3 point shot, and the bird shiit hair stain. Didn't have a deadly go-to shot, baby hook was low percentage too. He never really had a killer instinct and talked shiit about playing the worriers but NEVER backed it up.

    So I welcome a bit of change.

    Gave away a lot, got very little. No, I am not excited. Rockets are screwed.

    This reminds me of an unsustainable relationship with a stripper. Very exciting.
