    yeah, I like him. I think by the end of season he will be getting atleast 10 mins a game. Next season he should be in regular rotation. The guy looks like he will make a good team player.

    For a pre-season game they are looking very smooth. Ball movement on average has been very good with skip really raising the tempo when he has been on the court. Luther Head has really impressed me so far.

    The Rockets look sloppy, but the whole game is sloppy. In fact, even the broadcasting is sloppy. How about that 30 second shot of Lee Nailon earlier when there was a play on the opposite end of the court?

    Head will force Gundy to play him more this season. He is earning his minutes.

    Wow! LOVE all the off-season additions so far:

    1) Skip to my Lou is playing GREAT and under control. Streetball? What Streetball?!! The guy looks more balanced out there than most PG who never played with And1.

    2) Anderson is smooth and has good court vision, he's playing fine for a first game, and he's not even trying.

    3) LB is going to be a MAJOR surprise for all of us this year. This guy brings the hustle and another big body down low. Very nice pick by the Rox, it looks like he can score too.

    4) Luther Head looks excellent out there, I am very impressed so far. Seems like he brings a SG mentality out there though, which is not a bad thing. I think he could be a 'young Mike James' in the future with a few years of experience under his belt. He seems fearless and always looking to score (a good bench player if we ever need him due to injuries or a few minutes a night).

    Overall, very good outlook on all the new guys, I am really impressed.

    Damn! Now I see why JVG parted ways with MJ, because Head is our new MJ, only cheaper :cool:

    He looks great against the scrub. Even Moochie looks mightily impressive so far...at least in this game.

    And Moochie doesn't look useless. Our bench may actually have some depth this year.
