    I really liked Kevin Martin. Miscast as a top option on the Kings and Rockets. Probably would have worked out much better for teams he played for if he were a 2B or 3A option.

    K Mart was like James Harden-lite. Obviously nowhere close to as prolific of a passer but for James’ first 4-5 years they had similar games — eg Harden used to come off a lot of screens for mid range and Martin was an OG when it came to drawing fouls. Harden was just stronger and could do other things too.

    I'll never forgive Kevin Willis for passing up the shot that would've given Clyde a quadruple double.

    I really like his shooting form. It’s just this quick snap wrist looking shot. Awkward looking even

    He had that swivel too. Like he brought it up from the hip. No idea how he wasn’t stripped more.

    A couple of players the Rockets gave up on that eventually became decent NBA players were Craig Ehlo and Terry Teagle.

    PS: It would be fun to list all the former Rockets players that went on the be head coaches. The list is pretty long. But, that’s for another thread.

    This is a game I remember despite us still losing...but Marcus Thornton going nuts in the fourth quarter to send the clipper game to overtime was really cool
