    Apparently Higgins can't wait for FL $15 min wage to kick in until 2026. Because he certainly isn't joining Houston for a real pay raise.

    Well, he was able to turn Gary Clark into a serviceable player whereas we sent him to the dog house. Player development has always been the biggest weak spot on the Rockets in my opinion.

    Now If we can just hire Rob Riggle to round out the staff we'll be good to go.

    So two player development coaches and one former head coach who is offense oriented under a offensive minded Head Coach? Sounds like a winning formula...

    I don’t know about that. I hope he can help House.
    There is no doubt that we need an experienced and capable defensive assistant coach. TF wins again.... Smh.

    Steve Clifford connection.

    Would rather have stolen Chris Quinn from Miami Heat.

    Magic have not really done much to weaponize AG, Isaac and Bamba.

    Can he turn Westbrook into a 3-point shooter? Open his eyes while shooting.....or close them (might improve his shot).

    Sorry, that was mean, sorry Westy

    Maybe, the Jazz dude can help Russ on
    shooting the ball better. That would be better than just teaching him how to flop.

    Hornacek, yeah that’s right. Guessing the ball is coming off the index finger / thumb side. Leads to
    inconsistency. Also known as bricks. I was taught ball coming off middle finger to pinkie side.

    But everyone is different. I know Westbrook needs to put more arch in his shot. Improves the percentages.
