    You are welcome. That was a strong statement you made. And I totally agree. I give credit where credit is due. Everybody else gets torched.

    So what if he goes out there and get hurt and we can't trade him? or have to settle for certain player since another team is willing to gamble on a hurt asik ?

    Asik playing one game is not worth it, think full season/playoffs not one game

    Do we really know why he's not playing? I still don't get it. The only thing we have is McHale's quote, which sounds quite cryptic to me.

    At this point, it's pretty much clear that Omer is done so I thank him for a great season and wish him all the best.

    Chandler, on the other hand, is still a Rocket. I hope he'll shut up and stop making public comments like these about his teammates. He wants to be a leader of the team and he should act like one. Leaders don't trash talk about their teammates like that.

    There is the substantial piece of info you guys have been requesting regarding someone that quit on MY mf'in ROCKETS! i can't believe he wont be fined or we cant get our money back that we paid him for that game. quitters never win and winners never quit.

    Sigh. Over reaction will increase your stress level. Take a Xanax and calm down. LOL. Better living through chemistry.

    Anyone who watched Asik last year could tell that his effort was quite lackluster in those few minutes after losing his starting spot. We could really use him when we have to bench Howard in crunch time. A real shame.

    IF that is the case, it would be great for both team. Rockets get a big that can rebound and hit 3. Heats get a real center and a guard that like to attack and dish.

    Zoinks. Okay, refusing to play entirely is going too far.

    I get that he's ticked, and maybe he's not willing to stick his neck/health out too far, but refusing to play entirely is too much.

    The team needs to sit his butt down and get his head together.

    If he still refuses to play, Morey should probably pull the CBA on his butt (or inform him that he will) and get his butt on the court.

    Being unhappy I get. Not being motivated to go balls to the wall, I get. You still suit up and go to work, no matter how much it sucks. Just ask the players for Sacramento... life sucks, it isn't fair. You deal.

    Turkey boy is makings millions. Most of us who work more than 40 hrs a week would love to be on any pro teams.
    We make peanuts compared to what these guys make make at regular jobs and we never quit on our (work) team.
    Turkey should suck it up. I don't want to see any more pouty shots when the games are going on. It's bad for everyone involved.
