    It's the John Lucas effect via JB Bickerstaff. He just seems to resonate with young guys who have made some mistakes and gets them to fulfill their potential. Scoot should be given credit as well for buying into the 'therapy'. Not sure any other organization in the NBA offers this type of player coaching from a guy who's been there and done that. Good job all around from the ROX org. Im expecting big BIG things from Scooter.

    Yea, watch the fanbase turned demon time on him when the slightest thing happens that they don't like. Fake love.

    Kinda cool the Rockets may have indirectly saved both KPJ and LeVert's lives.

    John Lucas helped so many players over the years even before he got hired by the Rockets.

    Thank Goodness John Lucas got hired by the Rockets. Now with so many Young Guys on the team John will be heavily needed.

    John Lucas is amazing, and everyone in professional sports knows it.

    TF is very lucky to have him.

    Which means Tillman will soon either fire him or piss him off to the point he'll quit.

    **** Harden. He does not love this city. He'll always say he does, but actions speak louder than words. He live here in the offseason? Didn't he say Brooklyn was a better place to grow his brand? The prganization allowed him to become a petualant diva. Those kind of people only love one person - themselves.

    Always baffles me how some people are so incredibly stupid and don't think. Or don't at least do a cursory search of "James Harden," "Houston," and "charity" before calling out Harden for not loving Houston post-trade.

    Case in point?

    People that crap on Harden for not caring about Houston after bolting for BKN: What have you personally done for the city? Seriously.

    I think we need to give Stone a good bit of credit here. To me it seems like he's taken the reigns of this franchise without all the hoopla that surrounded "Dork Elvis" -- He's putting a noticeable imprint on this team, and Im feeling enthusiastic with the direction he's taking us as fans(and that from a guy who had doubts about Stone to begin with). I think Tilman has taken a backseat and noticed how turbulent his meddling could be.

    Lets think good vibes and positive thoughts!
