    Woke up and saw this on twitter, good to see a thread was made, Feigen always brings up things like this, he is my favorite rockets twitter to follow & favorite rockets writer, his articles are always unbiased on the chronicle.

    It's going to be sad seeing him leave. I hope we get a good return on the big fella. It would've been great if he'd just accepted his role,but I fear it's too late now.

    Aren't there any honeys in Houston by which we can lure Omer into staying; or, some really nice restaurant, or club, or something? Isn't the weather really nice in Houston? There you go, Omer, the weather: reason to stay.

    8 million dollars should be enough reason for him to stay but that's the selfish fan in me. I get that they all want to do their own thing ala priest holmes, t-mac, ricky martin leaving menudo. i get it but I don't have to like it.

    It's hard to post up Asik because his lower body Strength. He's a tall, big and sturdy. DH is upper body strength. His legs are not as big relative to his upper body so he may be backed down in the post a little easier.

    If I want to hear everything from a perfect world rockets perspective I read Friedman.

    when I want to read unbiased articles, with a few punches here and there I read Feigen

    Lol. I love how Omer is so brief and on point. I'm gonna miss the big fella when he leaves.

    Feigen is controversial? I will say, he took a lot of jabs at Omer for acting up and refusing to play. But so did the rest of the league.

    Omer was awesome last game.

    I wonder how many more games this team could have won if he had the same engaged mindset.

    yeah they're usually light jabs like you said, you have to read into them, never knock out punches LOL, he can't do that writing for a newspaper he would lose his job, he beats around the bush while still trying to get his view across.
