    Yeah, I think he’s pretty clearly a PF. You could probably play him in multiple spots, but to me he’s a PF all day long.

    Great video but here's a few I'd have liked to have seen.

    Dream swatting Starks on the perimeter to win the game.

    Dream with the dagger three pointer (of all friggin' things) to seal the deal on the sweep of the Magic.

    I went to my first Rockets game when I was 8 years old in 1984. I asked my dad, "Who is good?". He pointed at a then Akeem Olajuwon. My father was not lying. By the time the Rockets were winning championships I didn't even understand how in awe I should be of a 7 footer out on the perimeter swatting their point guard's three pointer or really any of it. I had just seen it happen my whole life. Of course he was going to do that stuff!

    God I miss being able to take playoff greatness for granted. Harden did some extraordinary things while here, many of which I will never forget. But he didn't really do them in the playoffs.

    Harden with closeout swat of Dort in Thunder series was good too.

    I give stone and the FO credit, we rarely have any leaks.. the only time we had a leak was because stone told KPJ his plan and he ran to Jalen's ig.

    Solves much of my concerns:

    1) Moves Eric Gordon.
    Thilla and Josh Christopher get more touches....
    EG joins a contender and Morey. ?Harden?

    2) Brings us Eason

    3) Bassey helps protect Banchero....protects the rim/rebounds. Alters shots.
    Philly is very high on him though. Much like the Warriors and Kuminga/Moody...
    ready to unleash them this upcoming season.

    Dream put-back slam over the Knicks.

    It was on that play that I knew for certain we were going to win it all.

    It's #7 here. Should be higher. Just a remarkable play--soaring above the ground-bound Knicks.

    Looks pretty skinny with his shirt off. Maybe no chest makes him
    look thinner than I think.

    Work those Pec's Banchero

    Yep, Sengun is listed as 235 lbs....and as I watch him I'm screaming at the
    TV, "unhitch the trailer!!"

    "*Bobtail it, maybe you can move faster?!?"

    Somewhere Scola is out there thinking about making a comeback.

    *Bobtail= trucking term

    I know. Literally one of the most incredible plays I’ve seen in any sport. It was amazing.

    The spin move on Ewing in the Finals was sick too.

    There is no position. You don't just defend one player. It's switch on everything now. When there is mismatch player B will come and help player A. player C will go and help cover for player B area, then player A will rotate and go help on player C.

    The lineup is basically one main ball handler, two wings, two bigs. The two wings need to be able to handle the ball if needed. 4 out of the 5 need to able to shoot 3.

    It's easier last year. Everyone know Cade will go first. Mobley refuse to workout for us, hard to think Rockets will pick someone who won't come.

    Jabari can go 1 or 2. Chet can go 1-3. Paolo can go 1-3. So it's hard to know without knowing who the top 2 team will pick.

    Green was always going to be available.
    The problem this year is that there’s not a clear cut 1 or 2. We may get info on who the Rockets want but who they can get might be a different player.

    He doesn't seem to sure of what he actually measured up at....

    "6
    It seems like Smith and Chet are a pretty clear cut 1 and 2?

    I'll go way out on a limb and say Banchero is our guy
