    Another score for Morey. The meter for Morey to continue as Rockets just tilted for longer tenure.

    Can't believe starting a skilled player over an unskilled player lead to good results. Can't believe it.

    Dekker scored 30 but his plus/minus was only +2. Cause for concern?

    Sam Dekker not an All-Star. Morey sucks as a drafter.

    Sam Definitely did his thing tonite
    Glad to see he is coming to his own
    If he is even HALF as good as he was tonite . . . that makes him a VERY SOLID player in this league
    All he needs not is consistency.

    Now the question is, is Chandler Parsons a poor man's Dekker?

    Ive said a few times that, already adding insult to Brewer's bad offense, he's a really lousy rebounder (especially at his height, just wasted length). Just another thing to consider against Brewer toward using another player.

    You do realize when Parsons was healthy and a Rocket he had many 30 pt games? You got to have a bigger sample size dude.

    Has Sam Dekker replaced Dmo as the Rockets new X-Factor?

    Need BBholic to confirm.

    This is without a doubt our SF or maybe even PF of the future if we really want to go small ball. I was considering to use him as an asset to get D. Cousins, but he's a keeper.

    Good points. But I will say that Dekker is more physically gifted/talented than Parsons ever was. He has a good feel for the game as well.

    I always think it's a mistake to compare 2 players who are in different stages in their careers.

    At this point is his career, Chandy is a rich man's Louie Anderson.
