    Very good move my Morey imo. Jones can further develop in the D-League, which I'm very excited about. He kind of reminds me of Chris Bosh for some reason. Machado is whatever. Maybe he'll be a solid player, maybe not. I'm not too concerned with his situation at the moment (as I'm sure most of you are)

    Maybe they are showing Royce White that they use RVG for training and playing time so players can get more game time reps as to just sitting at the end of the bench.

    And the Rox have always said that this was their plan all along when they bought the Vipers.

    Is anyone else getting a 'time out on the court' box in the middle of the screen?

    LOL at Machado for airballing that 3 in closing 3 min. Meanwhile JLamb has attempted close to 30 shots; top-scorer. TJones top-scores for us

    lol, lamb with the kobe-like boxscore. ;)

    (To be fair, he was like 10-18 in the 2nd half. But still a brutal first half.)

    They are not making moves just to impress something on RW.

    Exactly what you said in the 2nd part of your post .. The Vipers are meant to be used as a tool and extension of the Rockets

    If the rockets aren't committed to playing young guys regular minutes,its better they play in rgv. If nothing else to stay in basketball shape. Its easy to get out of shape with limited practice and not playing.

    Yes they do unless that person just doesn't need to go. Budinger's sorry ass defense ensured Bang would never see the D-League.

    Dude, did you have to ruin it? Ignorant poster 'Prince' makes ignorant post and successfully gets ignored for a whole day and 5 pages, with a lot of people showing restraint to ignore the ignorance.

    I'm glad Terrence will be getting significant court time in a competitive league. I happen to be a fan of sending talent to dleague. I think it's definitely going to help TJ. Scott looks like a real project. I'm less enthusiastic than I used to be. He's had a few dleague games now and has looked very average.

    This is OLD. I want to see Jones and Machado highlights, but I guess they don't have dedicated lithuanian supporters to make dleague videos about them... :p
