    Give the man a break dude!

    This is his annual trip to Taiwan with his family; to hold camp, visit relatives, and attend evangelical events, WAY before he was ever a Rocket.

    Name me one player in the entire NBA that is working with his team this early in the off-season.
    None of these guys are obligated to do anything with their team until training camp starts.

    ...and you can be studying right now trying to get a degree in rocket scientist instead of posting on a bbs...

    It's going to be a long season. Let the kid have a little fun with his friends and family and doing something for God.

    You make a fair point. But it is his life to live. He goes to Asia every year & there are a lot of other ball players who are there right now as well, & not with there team.

    The Indiana Pacers team have been meeting up in LA to practice together & participate in pick up games against other NBA players. The Sixers did a similar thing last year. They definitely aren't obligated to do such a thing but. I was hoping the Rockets would do that as well. Great way to establish early chemistry and get off to a quick start. He is coming back from Asia soon & training camp is still sometime away so who knows, maybe the team will meet up in Houston.

    I thought we were tanking this season, so what does team chemistry matter, anyway? :roll:

    He could, at least, be attending some All White Yacht Parties.

    Maybe 5% of the NBA players are doing something with their teams right now. These players are paid to play basketball, but that doesn't mean they should be stuck in a court, gym, or film room 24/7. I'm not sure if you noticed but they have families and friends too.

    Does it even matter? What are we going to accomplish this season? The answer is nothing and I'm hoping nothing as well. Lottery baby; the better this team does the closer we are to mediocrity.

    Lin played good D. He shut down whoever came his way.

    My guess is that it's just for fashion.

    Nooo...not for fashionable purpose. Arm sleeve improves circulation for better muscle recovery and keeps arm dry and comfortable.

    Arm sleeve does not have any performance enhancing traits. Its simply for aesthetic purposes. Trust me. Maybe the padded arm sleeve that some NBA players use for preventing damage when falling on it or something... but other than that its just for looks.
