    Awesome - love it, and DMo can make that move.

    What?! Lol, dude I hope this is sarcasm. I mean c'mon, dude was dead tired after running up the court like three times. He's 15 years removed from what you are describing when he was in Toronto.

    First, it was not meant to be serious, although I do like his game and think he would fit well with the Rockets. Second, I think most people who watched this kid play would think the same thing. No biggie because we have what we need in place already.

    BTW, WhoTF is Doris?

    Yeah, but he can beat (equal age) MJ at one-on-one, which means he can take the whole Charlotte team, too.

    No he can't. Not yet. But if he's willing to work his tail off for 5 years straight, he can. He has enough the tools, but that move is all practice.

    He's got moves. But in the category of McHale and Scola. He doesn't have that move. Only Melo has that one.

    I was just messing around, too.
    Doris Burke was commentating on the game and said - "once Atentokounpo reaches his potential he will be a tremendous athlete - what a long player. 8 feet of arms" - about 15 times until it became comical. I think it's her go-to to fill dead space.

    There are no verified records of that. Lots of misinformation on the internet.

    Do they even play basketball in Toronto. Is it played on ice?

    Out of all the players the Rockets have had DMo and Scola come close to Dreams foot work. Watching Dream play never gets old and he almost made that other shot on the base line with a nice move turn around.

    Her commentary was on cue to suck up to the Spurs and Warriors. Mentioned how both teams have gotten better with their Summer moves in FA. Didn't mentioned the the Rockets had traded for Ty Lawson.

    In general, they kept talking about "the West will be so good between the now-healthy Thunder, the improved Clippers and Spurs, and the Warriors."

    I'll take it, always flying under the radar.

    I recorded the old Rockets games they showed on NBATV this week in honor of the Africa game. I've just started watching them and what immediately struck me was the fire that Hakeem played with. He's in there fight for post position like his life depended on it, demanding the ball, and then beating a TRIPLE TEAM to score. I mean what the ****.
