    He's 2/2 in final shots at the end of the game that mean something, right? His gamewinner was also against the Lakers (in Kobe's face).

    That last shot was just sick - how flat it was from how far beyond the line...

    ...too bad we wasted his effort in OT.

    That 3 was insane. With how flat his shot was I didn't expect it to go in at all. Parsons is going to be great if he works on his ball handling/driving and cuts down on those WTF TOs.

    chandler really exceeded my expectations, he has done great this season and i think he has a bright future in this league. as said before, he is reliable and a good team player. these are characteristics you want out of players when building a championship caliber team.

    History repeating itself. We grow as a team. James carries us to the Finals against New York all the while #25 hits all these clutch shots. Jeremy develops a consistent 3 point shot while James works on some more post moves and how to effectively pass out of a double team. James gets a game saving block in Game 6 recovering to close out on his man. We win the series at home in 7.

    He's definitely good enough to be a third option but we definitely need that second reliable option that can create his own shot too.

    Am I watching the same player? He seems to have good ball handling to me? I think he's just terrific all around.

    By large margin - Chandler is best Rocket at moving w/o the ball.

    I love him as team player.

    He's been terrific, and more than lived up to the promise of last season. Sky's the limit for Chandler Parsons.

    no idea how he shoots the 3 ball as well as he does - talk about a flat shot. i wonder if he got some arc under it, maybe he could be a 50% 3pt shooter.

    Chandler has been awesome, he came to play and played under control I thought.

    He isn't a primary option at the moment, but dude can do everything.

    He's got an awesome shot fake, if he can add a Paul pierce hesitation dribble /step back J into his game as a go to move when he tries to go one on one, he'll be a legit 20PPG scorer one day.

    Flame suit on.

    The way Parsons is playing now reminds me of Trevor Ariza during the laker playoff run before we signed him. Hitting a good % of his 3's, good defender, bad ball handler, athletic,and someone is going to give him a massive contract to be the 1st or 2nd option.

    The key difference, is that Parsons is showing improvement, where Ariza did not.

    I'd love to see more opportunities with him driving/creating his shot. I was legitimately stunned on that one spin drive where he finished at the hoop, I think the ESPN guy didn't know what to say either haha (is there a video of that shot? I'd like to see it again). He also had several layups and reverses at the rim that were nice.

    Parsons is a very good NBA player, we are lucky to have him.

    Great job Morey in finding him.

    In the words of Scola "He's ok."

    The problem with Parsons handling the ball is that when he gets wild really quickly and is a lot of the time just runs in trying to score. The good thing so far is that he is athletic enough to make that work but that may not always be the case. That being said, he is a great player and key to the Rockets future. Hopefully, in the playoffs he will find another gear because the team is going to need it.
