    The shot is definitely a concern . I think that there is more to his low percentage than "rookie funk/ wall"

    He wasn't a particularly good shooter in college and if he had been a good shooter he would have gone in the top 10.

    He worked on it over the offseason for sure , but his percentage at the beginning of the year was unsustainable .

    If he can get it back to the mid 30's that's something I can live with .

    Dekker has starting potential and depending on how his quickness changes over the years could potentially be a top 60-70 player down the road.

    This game made me fear that Harrell was not good enough to start and that Capela was needes badly. But since we got the win and lost only twice without Capela, I think we are sitting pretty.

    I guess that makes enough sense. I pretty much hate the entire league to varying degrees. The degree that you hate OKC is like my level of hating TMZ. I just want to walk in and panda bear their show. Talking about other people is just not that big of a deal and when I watch people talk about other people on TV it's that much more awful. Panda awful. And they used to show Seinfeld in that slot...

    I mean, I love Philadelphia. It's the foundational place of all foundational places in this country. I absolutely love the basketball history of Philly with the whole Moses Malone, Dr J, A. Iverson connection.. but one loss to the Sixers and I'm void of any love. It's like I want to kick Ben Franklin in the nuts because 200 years later we lost a basketball game...

    Can't get over how good the additions of Anderson and Gordon are. Wow. Nobody tried to get these guys.. Gordon was a steal.

    Dekker's percentage is concerning. He's not even shooting FT's well, last I checked. Small sample size, but it's low right now.

    Like you said, his ability to do other things, helps. Nice athleticism and hustle.

    Mad Max's "out of the blue" tweets have to be one of the more enjoyable things to come out of this season.

    I wish, just one time, someone would ask Pringles how he can fit well over 100 points in a game but can only stuff 100 chips in a can when they're so neatly stacked. Surely his manufacturer knows how to get 10-20 more chips in that same sized can.

    or

    A can of Pringles holds 100 chips. How many chips can a D'Antoni can can if a D'Antoni can can't can chips?

    Haha, why you watching TMZ bro? I share your sentiment in that regard, if the channel is ever accidentally changed to some crap like keeping up with the Trashians I will legitimately get upset for giving them a second of legitimacy and viewership. Wasting valuable time on what someone wore to the red carpet is straight Panda moment...

    If we ever lose to tankcity Philly I think I'd be angrier with us haha

    This is exactly how I feel this year. Well said. Last year was such an abomination to watch, as a Rockets fan as well as a basketball fan. It took all the joy away from basketball and all the fun of being a Rockets fan.

    Hungover Harden with a Triple-Double! Impressive!

    Imagine a less-fat-had-a-serious-conversation-with-D'Antoni-non-hungover Harden!
