    His voice and demeanor are way more chill here than on the air.

    He clearly LOVED Matt. He's very complimentary of Ryan too and it seems genuine.

    I also found these quotes interesting:
    "the players know the hierarchy on the team", which is not my perception, or a common perception.

    "as long as Eric is here he is going to be starting".

    "If Sengun can be a primary playmaking hub you don't need a traditional PG. You need playmakers."

    Good chat.

    CF simply doesn't get this.

    No, they get it. They just don't want KPJ

    I would say I personally don't agree with that. But I agree with the principle that you have to construct the team in a way that maximizes strengths.

    LOL

    Leave it to you to miss the nuance of Craig's quote.

    Surround with playmakers is inclusive of KPJ but does not mean KPJ specifically.

    The Rockets are good enough now to be the last team to barely make it into the play-in.

    Where's that extension again you guys said was coming? Any day now lol.

    Sorry man Houston doesn't care about your boy. He's a MLE player and a 6th man. If he is willing to accept that role then let's move forward with him
