    What's wrong with this guy? I thought he should have fired it up in the summer league. He's wasting his opportunity to stay in the league. Also, my hopes were that by showing some numbers/skill the rockets could move him in this Center-starved league for something ( a pick most likely). The guy is not without talent. What's T-Mac got on him talent-wise? Or Luc Longley for that matter? It seems to me that his confidence is shot to the point where he cannot make impression at a summer league. What a wuss! Pure waste...

    I remember the Rox picked this guy because they said he was someone who could help them out immediately. It's been 2 years and he has not helped yet..........................

    Thats true Yao.(That felt weird) I hated him moe than i hate KT.Damn i wish we could trade them away in one package. Even in video games i don't like those guys, KT is good in the game, i even edited him to make him quicker, he's the best player of the bench behind eddie. But inever use him because i have so much hate for him. Its kinda like the fact why i don't pick the Jazz, because i don't like them.

    I thought Collier would have a few decent games in the summer league. Even Langhi had several 20 point games in the league last year.

    Well at least Collier just has one year left on his contract. I figure that he will spend the year on the IR with a fake injury as opposed to being waved just in case Cato or Ming get injured.

    Collier is probably the Rocket I like the least, even more than Cato.

    Steve Francis-Why do you hate KT (Kenny Thomas)?

    LOL, not T-Mac smartasses!


    That's hilarious. But seriously, Collier's slow. It's not his body. He needs to think quicker. He can be decent. In a Pat Riley system, he'd actually be pretty good.

    What on earth is there to hate about KT?

    He plays hard, he works hard, and he doesn't have a big mouth. Seems like a good guy to have.

    I understand the position that he might be redundant on our team. But to actively dislike him? You're mean :p.

    Man, at first I thought this Kayman guy is an idiot. Now I feel like one.

    Really though a guy like Todd MacCulloh should not get a nickname just like Kenny "the Jet" Smith. Now where did that come from?

    Collier does not have the skills to play in the NBA. At least he tries hard though.

    I don't know if this is true but in the summer leagues it looks like players are just playing for their spot on the team and arn't setting each other up. Collier may be on the wrong side of that and he's one of those players that needs to be looked for in certain situations in order to do the only thing he can - shoot from about 15.

    I've been trying to convince people of the real reason we sucked so much last year.

    Some teams have a skinny white guy
    Some teams have a slow white guy
    We were the only team to have a slow white guy AND a skinny white guy.

    We already got rid of Langhi, so Collier is insignificant at this point...

    Some teams have a black guy with corn rows.
    Some teams have a black guy with a big afro.
    Some teams have a black guy who likes to get high.
    Some teams have a black guy with a big mouth that is a showboat that doesn't pass to his open teammates.
    Some teams have a black guy with anger management issues.

    We were the only team to have a ll of the above. Or maybe we weren't. Who gives a ****. Being a 28 year old white guy, I am used to being the target demographic for animosity. But hell, if Collier and Langhi were the reason that we missed the playoffs, then f^ck it. KILL WHITEY!

    The Rockets should stash Collier on the IR instead of waiving him, because they might need him for cap fodder to get a more valuable player in a package with KT. If there is no deal come February 15th, then they can waive him.

    I honestly believe that the weight lifting is really effecting Collier's game. He can't even hit an open shot now.
