    Yeah exactly what I was thinking! If anything, I’d argue Klay’s defense is actually better than his offense, which is saying something given how talented he is on offense!

    They wanna go back to the days where we were scraping the bottom of the barrel to find an all-star or begging guys like Chris Bosh, Goran Dragic, Kyle Lowry to come or stay in Houston.

    People actually are choosing Houston! Even after they shunned us once or twice.

    It's okay, because I know for a fact that people would complain even if Lebron had chose us. The world is full of a bunch of petty entitled little whiners. Ah well!

    Speak for yourself fool.

    There is no WE here.

    The word “we” is used by passionate fans who feel like they are part of the team a la the Seahawks “12th man”. It’s metaphorical and not meant to be taken literally. So maybe chill out a little man

    I saw it was Houston Press which I've always loved, but associated with the cultural side of things. After reading the article, I was shocked at the level of hoops knowledge/how well it was done. Then, I looked and saw Jeff's name.

    tin - You should never be doubted for a sec , brother...always pure..always working..love it.

    Should remove the article so people can click on the Father of Toyota Center's work.

    The thing I like about Melo is he knows the game and what he lacks in youthful athleticism he can make up for in skill and craftiness.
    Seems like he should be a good fit here and perhaps now with another great ball distributor Harden may have the luxury of going to the net more himself.
    If they retain the services of Capela, this should be a very strong outfit.
    If our main guys can enjoy a year of negligable injuries, we will be in the mix.

    Or people that react emotionally to a signing that could actually improve us at the end of the day. Spewing out nonsense doesn't make you passionate rather makes you sound ignorant and whiny.

    So this WE thing does not encompass the entire thoughts or feelings of the group. Especially those who question the people that have gotten us the farthest we've been in over 25 years playoff success wise.

    So go crawl back under your blankey little chica.

    Didn’t have a third player even close to that caliber last year. This season is going to be fun.

    He's a defensive liability.

    Capella /Nene / Tucker */ The German
    Melo/ (Tucker*) Anderson
    Tucker/ Ennis/ MCW
    Harden / Green
    Paul / Gordan

    Tucker is the new heart of this team, and his ability to play multiple positions frees up the other guys to contribute. ..and keep Paul and Harden controlling the ball at all times.. Hope for a injury free season.
