    Hehehe seems like the players will need to be sneaking the devices onto their opponents during games, or else they will end with only half the data they really need.

    Not much use to track your own guys without also being able to accurately track the opponents as well.

    Still cool though.

    Predicting we will see a lot of Rockets players being very friendly and patting the opponents on the backs a the start of games.. ;)

    MOAR data. :p

    Good to hear, even if it may not amount to much. Gotta try to stay ahead of the curve.
    Can't take these things for granted. Props to Les for investing. Props to Morey for making him invest.

    Would anyone else feel a little weird as a player? I mean, I'd still gladly take the job any day of the week and twice tomorrow, but it still feel weird. Wonder how long before it catches on?

    Now all Morey needs is a collar that shocks players when they take midrange jumpers.
