    Holy cow. Is that a reasonable perspective on the trade from SAS and Bayless? That's a sign of the apocalypse, right?

    Actually Skip Bayless has shown lots of respect for Rockets after that ClucthCity 2.0 performance against the Clippers.

    I watched it, but I really don't care what both these hacks have to say. I can't wait until the Rockets are winning most of their games and considered to win it all, then win it all to watch the ever changing narratives of these bums...just to rub it in their face for the bias that they have shown Houston over time.

    He is a bit undersized to be any good on defense. I'm expecting at least Aaron Brooks 2009 performance night in and night out. If not he's a bust for this team.

    I look forward to seeing what Ty would be able to do for the team.

    I also know that after rehab, his aftercare is going to be really important to the Rockets.

    Wishing for the best =)

    I love an and his 09 Season was great but being objective ty is a lot more talented player plus he's bigger 195lb to 165lbs is a big difference.

    Exact same for me. I am shocked at how sober and rational they were. I actually didn't mind hearing what we're only the most obvious remarks on the face of the earth regarding the Rockets. That show would be 10 times better if they just behaved that way all the time.

    Aaron Brooks was more of a SG though, even in the season where we gave him full reins to the offense, he was averaging 5.3 assists per game. He was a much worse distributor than Harden, for instance.

    I think Lawson will give us something we might never have seen as Rockets fans before. Just taking our efficiency (and ball protection, because we were one of the sloppiest teams last year in terms of TO's) to another level. This offense is going to be top 5, if not top 3. Guaranteed.

    I wonder if there is a basketball court at the rehab facility? I heard it was in Malibu, so you know it must have a lot of amenities.

    Adjusted the roster on NBA 2k14 and the Harden/Lawson duo is so fun to play as. They get so many good looks now that neither can really be double teamed.

    Dwight is going to benefit from Lawson immensely. Think about all the botched entry passes and alley oops due to inept passers last year. Dwight will feast on highlight reel dunks next year.

    I imagine he'll have to change his off-court life style somewhat to get this straight again. Plan to have a family or have a kid if he doesn't have one yet. Hang out with friends who are away from alcohol could help too.
