    He's purely insurance in case of injury to Lin or Brooks . . . until Beverley gets back.

    Canaan should be fine. He knows the drill for this season.

    If Canaan isn't in the D League, unless it's a massive blowout either way OR another Rockets guard goes down (say, with a broken leg or a terrorist shoots from the stands), Canaan'll never see the court.

    Canaan here actually just for practise purposes until Beverley comes back.

    With Aaron Brooks possibly out, watch this guy ball and earn some minutes going forward....which would make Brooks and/or Lin expendable .....

    Jonathan Feigen ‏@Jonathan_Feigen 1h
    Aaron Brooks sat out shootaround with a sore left knee. Game-time decision.


    Jonathan Feigen ‏@Jonathan_Feigen 56m
    If Aaron Brooks can't go, Isaiah Canaan could get first meaningful NBA minutes close to his Biloxi home about an hour away.

    More incentive for Bev to get back in the swing of things.

    I hope it becomes a thing for Bill Worrell to say, "CANAAN BOOMS A THREE!!!" everytime he makes a three pointer.

    It's stupid and lame, but I would enjoy it.

    CF should get an prediction accuracy bar, right next to the Rep bar.

    Feigen says he should be called up again soon, but this time for the remainder of the season.

    They should call Covington too and at least give hi a try. He couldn't do worst than casspi. Seriously casspi has disappeared. He can't shoot 3 he tries to dribble like if he has handles. And worst of all no rebound he always pokes the rebounds away from his teammates or the ball just slips out of his buttery fingers. And Garcia too but I think Casspi has been playing worst.

    One more thing Morey should sign Daniels from the vipers too. And we will have Canaan Covington and Daniels on the bench. We could let them shot their threes. :p just a Thought.
