HoopsWorld: New and Improved Hasheem Thabeet Emerging

LOL @ 6 fouls in 20 minutes. But he did play 20 minutes in a game. No more garbage minutes.

 

If he could net 15-20 minutes a game, the fouls will work themselves out.

 

Maybe he has a role and that's why he's edxcited. I mean,when you don't have a role nor get consistent minutes,your attention tends to wane. I wish him well and wish we could've gotten that out of him,but at the beginning when they signed dalembert,it was a wrap for him. I would've just played him anyway. He still gets out of position,but at least he looking like a live body at the rim.

 

I am surprised OKC can turn him into a serviceable center. Glad to see him show some considerable progress there.

 

Thats funny. Hasheem played starters minutes last night. As in one more minute than the starter Perkins. Where have i heard or seen this mentioned before????

 

His stat line was decent:

10 PTS, 2 of 2 FG, 6 of 6FT, 5RBS, 2BLkS, 1ST, +8 in 23 Minutes

 

It's early in the season. Work ethic isn't about working hard for short stretches, it's about having the dedication to do the work for the long haul until the job is done. We will see whether Thabeet is still eager to be at practice and running all the drills late in the year.

Even obese people can go to the gym a few weeks a year.

 

You will be surprised at what the lure of a championship will do to people.
If he continues getting decent playing time, he will be alright.

 

He was very disappointing when he was here, but I don't have any ill will for him.

If he's finally figured out how to put in work, good for him and I wish him well.

 

Yeah, the FT shooting is most impressive to me.

 

Toronto lost Lowry and OKC blew them out.
Not impressed, but since it's Thabeet who's the worst player on the planet, it's a step in the right direction.

 

2nd Quarter: 1:29 remaining - Jose Calderon enters the game for Kyle Lowry 35-52

 

Additionally: Lowry was -13 in +/- and was 1 of 4 for 2 points in 17 minutes.

 

It took you all day, but you managed to find something. I guess you can call that worthy.

 

he got injured.

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry will not dress for the team's Wednesday night game against the Dallas Mavericks after spraining his ankle on Tuesday, the team announced. Lowry will sit out and receive additional treatment for the time being, the team said.

 

oh you mean when kevin martin said that thabeet basically didn't care before. yeah, what a fantastic player you root for.

 

You know what i meant, but you are not man enough to admit it. You didn't have anything bad to say so you decided to go with Lowry's injury as a reason for Thabeet playing well. You're not old enough to man up yet. I understand.

Hey Pinhead, since you feel like reading now, just for laughs, lets review...

All that crap you gave me last season, goes in the toilet.

 

you crap has absolutely zero influence and reflects nothing of what really happens.

The Rockets didn't want him, Portland didn't want him, and now he's playing a true NBA scrub in scrub time. This is an improvement over not playing and having DL players play ahead of you.

your Dream of an all rookie team was squashed. how many rookies have the Rockets even played this year? How many of them will even end up decent?

Maybe Terrence Jones. Even your Royce White, the next Magic Johnson, hasn't even played.

Thank goodness Morey doesn't think like you, we'd break the bobcats record if he did.

 

Thats right. Keep crying like a little girl. Get back at me when you decide to be a man. Fact is the Thunder are doing what i wanted the Rockets to do. Developing a back up center. You're great at taking us back 10-20 years with someone elses stats and info. I'll give you that. Other than that, you are useless.

 

The Rockets do have a backup center. They NEVER had that in Thabeet.
They had a scrub who did nothing but sit on the bench wearing a suit.

None of your crap came true and will never come true for the Rockets.
the Rockets organization isn't stupid.

Mercado ain't starting over Lin and Johny Flynn isn't probably even in the league.
