    BY the way, OP, does Casspi have any interviews about his time with the Rockets? Does he enjoy playing on the team?

    Jeremy should join that trip so it can be Casspi and Lin go to the White House.

    I saw on CSN he got interviewed by Houston's own Bun B, not sure if the full interview has aired yet. But the snippet they played he was talking about playing with the other Israeli guy on the Mavericks and how they grew up together.

    There would be some secret Harvard handshake for sure.

    Obligatory,

    Thanks Obama.

    I thought Casspi was an Arabian Prince.

    Casspi gets way too little production for the amount of work he does. 4 rebounds is too little.

    Harden should be nervous about this for all the yelling at Cassipi.
