    Congratulations Eric. At least the Rocket will have one trophy this year.

    Stay healthy and maybe you will have two. I would say Harden will get one this year for MVP but Westbrook turns the media on.

    Congrats indeed. When it went to OT I was worried he gave it up. But it looked like Irving got tired cause he jumps more on his shot. So glad he brought it home.

    What did Kenny say "We know who's getting married, we're only here to watch the ceremony" in predicting KT would win. KT not getting out of the first round was as big an upset as Gordon not winning the dunk contest.

    Godsend early gift 2017: Eric Gordon after all the injuries, doing it in front of his Nola fans, as a current Rocket.

    I kinda hate kenny smith. I know he's a former rocket and what not, but i feel like he is allways hating whenever he gets the chance to.everything he says about the rox has some salt in it.

    Kenny is a New York City guy who was a superstar in high school and college but never in the NBA. He was on his way out of the league when he revived his career playing caddy to Olajuwon here in HTown. He was a bad defender and streaky shooter who was fortunate to play on a championship team. Now that he's retired, he's back on his too cool for school New York city crap whenever he talks about the Rox. It's funny to me because had he not landed in HTown he would never won a title and probably wouldn't be on TNT because his playing career would had been a TOTAL BUST.

    What he is... is a mediocre player that's saying whateverhe feels he needs to say to fit in with Shaq and Charles... and the media. Everyone knows Cassell was better. F Kenny Smith.

    Why so much hate for Kenny? Its his job to be critical and unbiased and he was the only one on Houstons side the past 2 or 3 years. I dont understand the hate. Hes never just sided with hack and broccoli just to "fit in". The man is smarter than both those dudes combined.

    I thought this was universally known throughout the forum. She commented on a Murrey tweet a few years back.

    Yeah I doubt it

    How can you forget One Time Taco Bell Pollo Loco All Star Skills Contest Champion Pat Beverely

    In fact he was so good, NBA didn't allow him to defend his crown

    Congrats to Eric! Great to see a Rocket win 3-pt challenge and a very tough one at that. Having been in a few 3pt contests, that overtime round was fun to watch. EG showed he could be clutch and did it in NOLA--NICEx10.

    His delivery is easy which helps endurance, plus he can shoot.

    Gordon did the thang !! Don't be surprised if he wins multiple.


    Rockets, Houston, standup !!!
