    So, Big Game James, you nailed it squarely - - on the punctuation and fluid dialog. Write on!

    People need to go to draft express and YouTube to take a look at who is coming out next year. You'll get goosebumps.

    Sammy can actually defend the pick pretty well. He hasn't been given sufficient time to gain his rhythm and gel with the team.

    Great job op! This what the board used to be about. Guys like cabbage and others used to contribute to the board in such a manner. The article is spot and well written.

    There's an error in the bolded portion of your article, not to mention the rest. You might want to proofread it again.

    Kudos to the OP for putting forth the effort to put together a cohesive view and assessment! Dont let the pissy people on this board disuade you from future efforts and postings! :) THIS is the kind of stuff that threads SHOULD be started with... as opposed to "This guy sucks and we need to trade him for a lottery pick!" lol

    Haha, totally random comma used in a sentence claiming to use decent punctuation. :)

    Defensively, Houston has given up a staggering 50% of their points in the paint this season. That is bad enough for 29th in the league, only ahead of Sacramento. Oddly enough, the Rockets lost their best post post defender, Chuck Hayes, to Sacramento in free agency this summer.

    Fixed.

    I appreciate the kind words everyone. I know grammar is not my strong point. Hopefully the grammar improves as the season moves on :cool:

    Why all the hate? I wish we all put as much effort into a thread as the OP did. I bet the average thread for some of the haters here consist of two poorly constructed sentences about their latest knee-jerk reaction, with the keyword being fire!/trade!/start! or the cure-all discuss!

    Hate when people do big writeups like this before 10 games even take place. There are 6 teams right now with better defenses than any team had last year and 8 teams had better offenses than any team has this year. The lockout hurts offenses badly so it's very premature to say we "can't score on bad teams".

    Unlike you, I think his use of the comma was correct.

    The danger of grammar wars - criticizing incorrectly.
