    Delfino is not a good player. Don't get your hopes up

    I say....yes.


    Delfino was cold blooded. Ice in his veins. He and Hardin completed that 4th quarter.

    Dude did you see his line. Also the only Rocket besides Lin and Harden to get more than 1 assist(6).

    I expect some triple doubles from Parsons this year.

    Yes it is.

    Delfino was probably the most controversial move by Morey this off-season.

    Now we see the logic behind the signing, if we were trade Martin we would need someone to hit 3s for us (Martin was gone whether he was part of the Harden trade or not)

    Delfino did great in that regard. Heck, he made them in the fourth quarter, I don't see K-mart doing that in the clutch.

    Delfino is what he is. He's a shooter. He shot .370 from long range over the past 4 seasons. That's good but not elite.

    He will have hot nights like tonight. And there will be nights when you want to kill him for chucking bricks after bricks. All shooters have those nights.

    Delfino helped us a lot.

    Our SG position looks good as of right now.

    What about the rest of the spot?

    That's another time to talk about that, maybe when we improve them.

    :D

    I'm honestly surprised too.

    I thought he was just another guy, but dude was balling. Hope to see this again Friday vs Atlanta. I think he will play well with Harden or Lin handling it. He's going to get open looks.

    Courtney Lee? We didn't trade him. We let him walk. He was in the same place as Martin.

    Really great job by him hitting those big shots. I knew we'd get a good basketball mind considering how long he's been playing basketball like Luis Scola, but his 3-point shooting is uncanny.

    Have always liked his game. Was surprised the first pre-season game seeing him in Rocket's uniform. Totally forgot we picked him up. The only thing I can't get over his that he reminds me of this guy. I don't know if it's the eyebrows or what???:confused:
