skip was a below or less than average point guard. BUT, A HIGHER THAN AVERAGE GUY. always seemed like a super nice guy in all interviews. Gonna miss that sweet tear drop this better be the beginning of something big, no way aaron is ready to start
Rafer was always hot and cold as a shooter, but I liked the way he ran the team. I think he will be missed in the locker room.
I wanted this to happen for a while now but for the right trade... Im kinda shocked! Wish you the best skip! There has to be something else to this trade...
I know we all think Rafer is bad, but he really did not deserve to be traded for Lowry. Lowry doesnt fit and he shoots so bad from the perimeter. Rafer was running the show good now I dont know what to say.
Wow...I am utterly shocked by this move. For all of Rafer's deficiencies as a shooter, he has rarely cost us games because of it (ie missing crucial shots during times that matter). He has been a great facilitator for us on offense and looked finally to be getting into the groove these past couple games running the pick n roll flawlessly with scola and yao. Aaron, while good, is still undersized and young and isn't experienced enough to play in an offense alongside Yao. Skip 2 my Lou was the man and I'm glad to have seen him play for the Rockets. I will miss the New York attitude and effort he brought every game. I wish him well in Orlando. He will prosper in Orlando, you watch. Orlando's going to be even better.
I to feel disgusted and sad. I wish we could have traded away that little punk O'Grady..o well...this 09 has been a sad sad year. 1. I buried 7 friends since 09 began 2. obama is president 3. Tracy acts like a girl 4. now Rafer gets traded
Maybe it wasn't Morey... Maybe Les wants Cook's 3.5 coming off next year. I guarantee you Ron Jeremy is freaking ecstatic right now.
Skip showed some leadership for us this season, he went from crappy 3 point shooter in the JVG days to a leader on this team this year. Now we REALLY NEED SAM CASSELL. I don't know if I trust a young Brooks/Lowry back court. We need some leadership in PG position.
Rafer was far from the problem this year... I liked him. There's got to be another deal though for a PG. Aaron is way too small. He's gonna get abused in the playoffs.
I'm going to miss his crazy lay-ups getting blocked by the rim, or his wacky tear-drops that never falls... oh wait, no i won't. Bye Rafer. Don't let the door hide you on the behind when you're skipping you're way out of the Toyota Center.
Skip was my favorite street ball player. I appreciated what Rafer did for the Rockets. I will miss him and I don't like this trade but gotta embrace Lowry.
