    I am positive that The Rockets are better off without him.

    Better?

    Worse, but whatever. You're going to be jaded because you want to be.

    I still miss the old you. Exuding excitement even when we were a sub .500 team, injury plagued, only hating when hating was due.

    Royce is mentally ill and he's handling it the right way. He should be given props for that. It's better for him to do this anxiety thing the right way rather than waste away turning to drugs and alcohol. He's here to help the team now, so mine as well let go of any grudge you have.

    I've just admitted to myself that I don't know what is going on, but it's what is best for the team long term. It helps me deal with the prior frustration. Accept that you don't know and ignorance is not a bad thing to admit, but it's a terrible thing to use as a means for your thought process.

    Props to the organization for sticking to plans, fighting thru frustration, educating themselves on a real issue a player has and moving on. Things aren't perfect, but he's got talent and he's developing just like we'd hoped he'd do 4 months ago. It's a delay and worth getting over so you can enjoy his activity on the court.

    So he had a party and his family dropped his name for the sake of making sure the party doesn't get ruined unnecessarily. This is no issue to poke holes in. Let it slide.

    Go ROCKETS!!!!!!!

    p.s. DD, I think you need to drink the koolaid again. It's delicious!

    Seriously? He refused to show up for political reasons and you think that's "handling it the right way"? I would hate to see what you would think would be the wrong way.

    Outside of the fact that the kid is a fool, he's nowhere ready for the NBA, he's a great passer, but that's about all he does. If he cared more about basketball, I might think he had a chance to develop and one day become a legit NBA player, but there aren't too many people who are writers by craft that end up in the NBA.

    He also rebounds well and gets to the line a lot due to his aggressive drives.

    Parsons was a pretty crappy shooter his first year too.

    That has yet to be seen, DMo was a 20/10 guy at RVG, Royce picking up 6 or 7 rebounds in the D league means nothing. So far it looks like he's a terrible defender who is a pass only type player. Again, if he was a basketball player by craft, maybe one day he works on his skill set enough to become an NBA caliber player, I'm not holding my breath though.

    It really irks me that someone would a notice like that with such poor grammar. If people refuse to talk correctly that is fine, but SPELL check!!! Seriously is that so hard to do?

    And also, finest professional athletes in the City? Get off your high horse. If it wasnt for all the drama, NO one in Houston or outside Houston would know who this guy is.

    It's just stupid.

    I guess it is delicious indeed but what are the odds?
    All of the first round 2009 picks crapped out except Harden. Few players pan out most don't.

    Playing time is scarce... and I think both Terrence Jones and Motiejunas work harder and will become better than White

    I don't understand how people do not care about speaking your own language properly. It's disrespectful in my opinion.

    There are many people with anxiety issues and more severe things like panic attacks that deal with life every single day. I didn't have a problem with him till he came out with his Crusade for mental health. If anything all he has done is make it worse by leading by a terrible example and convincing employers not to take chances with people that have similar issues. The guy is an entitled ******* and scam artist. He gets no sympathy from me.

    Should've dropped the words 'professional' and 'finest.'
