    The fact that Zhou didn't have an ACL or MCL tear is absolutely incredible. The injury looked bad. If it is just a "bad sprain" (like a grade 2 MCL type thing) and he is out 2 months that is a VERY lucky break. Good for Zhou!

    Absolutely, and realistically he might have to wait another entire year before he gets a shot. Such a bummer, because he clearly improved in SL and for the National team. CenterMelo it is...

    Zhou Qi is terrible at pretty much everything. Atleast with Melo you may get some offensive contributions. But Qi has been a wasted roster space since he got here. The Rockets need to play Chriss


    The fact ur advocating for Qi make me question your motive

    He’s tall and not lazy
    We’re getting beat down in the low post

    Carmelo isn’t shooting well at all.

    I’m a 99er
    My motive has been the same since genesis
    I’m pure

    You on the other hand aren’t at pure Hakeem fan

    There's were good posters in '99 and bad posters in '99. Same as today.

    Your standing on a message board is determined by the quality of your posts, nothing more.

    I’m not the one questioning Hakeem vs the 90s Bulls like that dude I responded to
    I saw what happened
    I was there
    And I know the truth


    Also I saw that Carmelo sucks and plays no d that maybe throwing Zhou out there won’t be a bad thing

    Well he is pretty good at standing by the rim and being tall at the same time. Which seems to be something the Rockets are struggling with considering all the paint points we're giving up.

    Hakeem, the Bulls and '99 didn't have anything whatsoever to do with the post that you replied. to. All that does is derail threads.

    BTW Zhou wouldn't have played meaningful minutes in '99 and he's not likely to play any this year.

    That’s the posters history with me
    Like if Rondo trolled Chris Paul

    I saw him play at summer league and I think he deserves a shot
    You can ask the other clutchfans if I was there

    a lot of talent there. not sure why folks are so down on him. He's still raw, but we knew that.

    I think Zhou Qi should get some playing time. He might be one of those players that can only play with good players. I think he would be good for the back up C. He can block some shots for us. But if the rox won't give him pt then we will never know how good he can be.

    He’s probably going to RGV to get back into game shape after his injury. I expect him to get some PT before the new year. What he does with that PT is still a question. I hope that we see some twin towers line ups with him and Capela. That’s a lot of length for other teams to deal with.

    I would argue Zhou qi would have way more impact than Chriss on the court defensively. Hell, i'd dump Chriss by now..

    Lmao advocating for Chriss makes me question your motive, intelligence, and basketball knowledge.
