    I'm definitely not confident at all. Harrell doesn't have the experience and all season he showed us that he lacks basic fundamentals to grab rebounds. He'll definitely get some good pick and roll action, but I don't feel confident in him defensively. It sucks, but we really don't have any other options anyways. Playing Anderson at the 5 is a bad idea unless he gets hot from behind the line like he did tonight, otherwise he is just a double negative.

    I'm going to miss our big Brazilian. Nenê brought size, swiftness and, most importantly, attitude. How many times did we see him stand up for James along with Pat? I love his game and hope he heals quickly.

    Im just scared that this is the end of his career. Such a bummer. I really enjoyed watching him play and everything he brought night in and night out.

    Good news, bad news. Bad news, our chances are slimmer, but we will find out who can be the rebounder. Good news is that if Nene does really good in the playoffs for the Rockets like giving us Finals. We have 0 chance of re-signing him.

    Lmao. I'm not sure we're talking about the same Montrez. The Montrez I remember filled in GREAT when Capela was out with the leg injury. The Montrez I remember plays solid defense & brings tons of energy when he's out there. He may not be the best rebounder. But neither was Nene. The thing I like about Trez is he's all energy. I expect him to come in make a few much needed hustle plays

    For all the crap that he gets on this board, the coaches knew what they were doing managing his minutes so that he could be ready for the playoffs. He’s delivering just like he did last year. Played great defense tonight, especially on Towns, along with rebounding and blocking shots. This is his time.
