    I'd say it's a bit early to write off Dekker already. LOL.

    You'd think people would have a bit more patience after seeing Capella's transformation.

    He started last season on fire too before he went ice cold for a while. I'm hoping this time around though with Brewer and McDaniels(not to mention Thornton and even Dekker) backing him up from the beginning of the year, he won't get fatigued.

    Some players need a little marination before they cook. Give Dekker a little time before you guys say he's a bust.

    We usually have pretty early picks in the 2nd round. All the good ones we had in the past were 2nd round picks in the 32-38 range. Usually these are guys with 1st round talent but have something that detoured teams from picking them, usually they are 3 or 4 year guys with little hope of being a star player. Also, we usually expect much less from a 2nd round pick than a 1st.

    We usually pick in the middle rounds of the 1st round. Usually only the top 7 or 8 picks in the 1st round are worth anything much. Its rare to get a great player out of college picking 14-24 in the 1st round.

    Defense looks so much better when Ty went to the bench.

    Yeah, Thornton will get some time in the early part of the season. If he brings that kind of shooting, we are a totally different team.

    Took Harden 5 seconds to go the length of the floor for a layup.

    If both Ariza and Thorton can shoot around 40% from 3 with high volume, the Rockets ARE going to win above 60 games in the regular season.

    You have to remember that this forum is obsessed with overreaction.

    If Harrell can develop and bring that type of energy off the bench, Morey will find it easier to trade or let go of Jones.

    Dude is gonna be a fan favorite!

    Harrell is the PF version of Patrick Beverley.

    M Thornton could be our dead eye shooter off the bench.

    Every good team needs one.

    He just needs to let the hair go and shave it bald. Looks like he has Mange or something.

    JJ Watt is like the king of Houston sports celebrities doing local commercials. Harden is more deserving imo.
