    Hell yeah, man!

    I can't get too upset about the blown lead on this one. The Hornets were never threatening and this was the second half of a back to back with the "statement game" on the horizon from the Worriers.

    They are doing what they need to do to win. I'm enjoying the ride.

    Seriously though, some of y’all need to read up on possessions per game, points per possession. Things like that. Quit calling for MDA to make adjustments or whatever like they were up double digits the whole game.

    The chances of acquiring him is very remote. How is he gonna fit in with CP3?

    i don't care if we score 120 and win, or if we score 80 and win. This team is hungry for a championship, and I am impressed with our defense

    Well, Paul will probably miss half of next season with injury anyway.

    He isn’t coming to the Rockets... but if we can roll out JH/CP/EG.... we can roll out JH/CP/KW

    I think his body needs a few games off because of age and fatigue is starting to slow him down in the last few games. The Rockets should have used load management on Chris a bit earlier but now are in a dogfight for ththird spot and conceivably for the second spot so we will ride him all the way now

    That's kinda my point. They basically have to hope that their defense is good enough to limit the freaking Warriors to 93 or 92 points to win a few games. Their offense in that series was TERRIBLE.

    Based on the b****ing in this thread, you would have thought the Rockets were only up single digits on the Hornets midway through the 4th quarter, yet, they were up 12-15 points the entire time.

    @Nook Is Ron Baker a potential 10 minute backup PG that could be used? Chris gets tired, and Rivers is more valuable on defense against SG/PG's.

    I was told he won’t play the rest of the season. There was interest in him by a few teams in January.

    If you mean next year, my answer would normally be that we could do better; however some of Baker’s strengths fit D’Antoni’s scheme. I don’t think it is a terrible idea to give him a summer in our system and see how he does, assuming he is healthy by then.


    I will admit I am a little disappointed we couldn’t develop a solid 10-15 minute a game reserve point guard by now. We tried a few in the past and they didn’t pan out. The name I heard that may he moved this summer and we have some degree of interest in is Tony Parker.
