    Thanks for the post. I tried endlessly to find this game online. Seems as though CBS do not want it being watched. A real shame!

    Canaan 43 and 35 and I have half of the clutch forum arguing against me that he isn't an "emerging player".

    Same problem as the Rockets, so it seems.

    all I can say is that probably Canaan and Covington were still psychologically affected by the mother team's collapse

    No, u r completely error! The problem was the coaches who didn't understand any team defense

    Why? I think it's great to try out new concepts and coaches. Will provide interesting data to learn from.

    1) D-League.
    2) RGV's pace allows for crazy high point totals both individually and as a team.
    3) RGV jacks up a LOT of threes, again point totals are inflated.
    4) Canaan is a focal point of that offense, something he won't be here. So... less touches, less impact.

    He's not bad, but I wouldn't characterize a player as "emerging" from watching D-League games.
    From the few Rockets games I've seen though, he has a lot of potential and meshes well with our lineup.

    I would be ok if this Rockets team is eliminated in the 3rd round of the playoff.
