    Eddie Griffin added 18 points and Ike Nwankwo contributed 12 rebounds as the Rockets (2-3) bounced back from a 41-37 halftime deficit.

    Halleluyah!!!!
    I almost fell off my chair! Is this a dream or the end of the world as we know it? First we learn that Cato is the hardest working Rocket, next Collier gets a double-double. What's next? Mobley and Francis both convert to Buddhaism in honor of Yao Ming?

    Man, don't even get me started. I'm here with my super cool camera ready to take highlight material video captures and what do I get? Jason Collier acting like he's Kareem Abdul Jabbar. :rolleyes:

    :D

    Maybe you could sell the tape to the Beyond Belief:Fact or Fiction
    show. I can imagine it now. "Could this unathletic, untalented creampuff really lead his team to victory? Or is this another hoax? You decide." :D

    Btw, your quote made me fix my error.

    :eek:

    Somebody call Robert Stack. "Is this the emergence of a solid backup center, or is Jason Collier an elaborate hoax?"

    Watch more summer league for more "Unsolved Mysteries." :cool:

    Jason Collier is a great basketball player just as long as he's playing in a month that doesn't have an "r"...

    Too bad for us that EVERY month of the basketball season has an "r"...

    Well Jason has been working out on weights lately, maybe he is just getting his basketball wind and legs in shape now.
    Hope This does not impress Rudy and CD enough to decide to rework his contract and give him a Cato contract! :D

    I really think this is a sign of things to come with Collier. Granted, I don't know whether or not he can average 19 and 10 for an NBA season, but I do think this is proof that he can be a big time contributor to a good Rockets team next year.

    Collier is definitely worth keeping around....he'll do well next year.

    Every month except playoff months. Maybe he will be our playoff MVP and stand up to Shaq.

    Collier is a bigger chump than Langhi.

    Off to Europe with you Jason! You don't belong on the Rocket's bench.

    Too bad for us that the Rockets basketball season doesn't include May and June.
