    Yea the Ringer editor will be looking for work after this. How do you omit the obvious falsehood from the media narrative on an everyday Houston Rocket article I’ll never know.

    Really is amazing how well he works as a combo guard with this team.

    He can defend either guard spot, so he pairs with Paul or Harden. He can hit the 3, he's got enough length to switch, he's a good enough ball handler that he can operate as a backup PG when Paul/Harden miss games, and he has some individual scoring ability. He's almost a prototype of the backup guard we've been looking for.

    Needs to start hitting his damn free throws though, no excuse for an NBA guard to be this bad.

    We traded for a guy named Chris Paul last year. I think that might be his best move...

    I'd throw in House as well. What a steal.

    I am beyond happy to have found someone who fits like a glove.

    Fearless and ready to rock.

    Hated him..but love him now.
