    LOVE Jabari Brown. Yes, I'm slightly biased, but I really do think he's going to make it somewhere. Outstanding shooter, underrated athleticism and improving handles.

    He will be running the 2 if he wants anytime alongside Harden.

    I'm big on LaQuinton Ross. Would've liked to see him and Young.

    doesnt matter what he runs. Defend the ball, then bring it up to half court maybe and pass it off and wait by the 3 pt line.

    Are you going. This won't be the best year for the rockets. But this could be the best summer league ever with wiggins, Parker, giannis and Bennet. And everyone else

    Would love to see you in Vegas

    I don't think you know this works in Vegas

    Rockets will not win this tourny. That's not what we are trying to do.

    And I think you are underestimating how fast Jabari and Giannis can create team chemistry. And let's not just assume they won't be paired with a nba PG to help them grow


    But you're right the vipers are a favorite to win if Morey wants them to do it. I was mainly questioning your "destroy the field" comment. Joe Joe. The Spurs winning on chemisty won't necessarily translate to a summer league tourny that doesn't really care about coaching and winming

    Sounds like a 2 to me. A 3D SG is still a SG.

    I'm not sure if he said this himself, but I think he considers himself a combo guard.

    I'm on the fence right now. This is my first opportunity to go (I've been a speaker at a law conference each of the past two years), so I'm giving it some thought. I'm hoping for a better turnout of rostered players.

    Would be good to see you again, too.

    Btw. Does Vegas even carry odds on these games? Can you bet on the rockets to win

    Kwame?

    I'm on the fence too. But, man, seeing Jabari and Giannis play together against wiggins and Bennet should be sweet. That game is Friday. So if you can go, make sure you can see the first day on Friday. CLE vs MIL. and that game will be packed. We will have to show up for the first game and never leave our seats

    Wish RickSmith didn't have to cancel

    Another thing BimaThug. If you come. You will meet Morey. I'm willing to be he will take you out to dinner

    Last time we went in 2012, Morey walked up into the stands and walked through 10 seats to shake The_Yoyo's hand. If Morey sees you there, all bets are off, we are going to titta bars with him and mchale.

    I'm not shy at summer league. They love rockets cfans who show up

    Let's do this

    Hard Rock Rehab Pool Sunday again where all the players hangout on Sunday This time I won't get kicked out

    you bet on NBA Summer Leauge games?

    You Aussie's rock

    You should come join us in Vegas, or at least give us your cell phone number or fb so we can bet for you

    Hell, the way I do it is primitive.. I just always bet on Red at roulette...but onlywhen we us cfnetter's feel it while walking through the casinos.

    BET ON RED!!! right? tinman!

    Last I heard, they were unsure how they would handle their own players.
