    Great work again from Terry. Always used to kill us with daggers, now he's doing it for us.

    Anyone else think he will be even more important to this team when the playoffs come? Hitting clutch shots and providing the crucial veteran leadership that's so important in the finals?

    If he is still on the team come playoff time, he will absolutely be huge.

    Some have suggested he'll be used as trade bait. I think we'd be crazy to do that. We don't have enough depth currently and the Jet is an experienced campaigner that will serve us well come the finals.
    In terms of good performances from the bench, he's been about the only one consistent enough to date IMO.

    He's been so solid I almost am overthinking things and hoping he isn't traded.

    I wish he were 31 and not 37 a lot of our needs would e filled but he is still great for a 37 year old.

    In a Rockets jersey he's Terry, not Jet.

    Don't know about x-factor. I think T-Jones is the x-factor since he plays started minutes. Trading him wouldnt be a good idea, IMO. Brings veteran leadership that was sorely missed last season and knows his role. I think he'd be great for the young guys we have on this team.

    I honestly think adding two veterans with rings in Terry and Ariza has been hugely beneficial for this team.

    I love what he is bringing to this team. Way more than shooting as he just gets the game with in his veteran years. He is always making the right pass, right play, poking the ball, anything it takes to win.

    He and Pap just understand ball movement. It's beautiful and refreshing to see. Terry is slowly becoming a favorite, in my opinion.

    I'll NEVER like Jason Terry.

    That being said, as long as he is a Rocket, dude has been balling and I appreciate it. Too bad he'll never wash the Dallas stink off of him.

    Get over it. He's ours now. PS I couldn't stand him when he was a Mav either.

    The last time we had a JET we won a Championship.

    JET being a ROCKET makes too much sense.. now he can be the rocket's killer instead of the rocket killer

    I like him and think Morey did a great job getting him. He is old though and will probably need rest and recuperation at times. I was hoping to get near 15 MPG ave of quality play and if we get that he is worth having. Lets not push him too hard. This is where I like Garcia sitting on the bench just in case.

    Well given his age, the remainder on his contract, and the number of guards they were looking at he was definitely signed as a future trade option for solidifying depth at other positions if necessary.

    This is Morey after all. He is always thinking trades.

    Terry has been a steal and he is the real jet. I don't recall Kenny being called jet during his playing days. I may be wrong though
