I think as fans, we're way too hard on Rafer's time in Houston. Yeah he exposed the offense, but the guy busted his ass for the team night in and night out to fill a role that was way over his head. I've always had respect for him as a player.
There are reasons guys like Chuck Hayes and him may I add ryan bowen?) are in NBA. Coaches did not give him 30 min a night for no reason. People like Chuck Hayes and him contribute more (or at least suck less) than other options ON THE AREA THE TEAM WANTS.
Who gives a rats ass? I guarantee I would bust my ass if the Rockets let me play for them also. The dude sucks big donkey ass and does not, never did and never should be in the NBA. Easily the worst Rocket of ALL TIME!
To say Hakeem Olajuwon is garbage, is a disgrace to basketball. To say Magic Johnson is garbage, is a disgrace to basketball. But calling Rafer garbage? Well, that's a given isn't it?
Hey Rafer gives his teams good players. For example... we got Lowry... Orlando got Carter. Win-loss for Rafer, but tough luck.
