    "Over and over again, the unlikely duo combined to slice and dice the opposition, ultimately leading their side to a comfortable 15-point win. "

    Want to bet that Asik was on their team?

    Your second year starter is the leader of the team. No wonder McHale is fretting about this season. :p

    You should have added the quote by Morey about his daughter telling him that there is one player he can never trade. I could not find the quote but we both know at the time she was crushing hard on Candler Parsons.

    That's why we loved Parsons from the time he became a starter last season (7th game into the season)--his BBIQ and maturity.

    Even as a rookie, he was one of the most vocal on the court. I remember stretches of games we were losing, where he would be on the sidelines giving pep talks to his teammates, including the veterans, telling them not to give up. He gets it, he just gets it.

    All the RGV preteen girls and basically all the females lined up to get his autograph. It looks like he is aware that he has the chance to become the second most popular player in the team behind Lin so he worked the fans the most during his time in the RGV. He worked them with his eyes and smile. He converted my friend to be a rockets fan, he gave her his shoes and a wink, and now she won't shut up about the rockets.

    I lost 5 rep points in this thread this morning and I tend to stay out of the GARM.

    You can lose rep points? What happens if you get down to 0? It'd be kinda funny if it added a dunce hat or something to your username if you went into negative rep.

    Something like this:
