    he has been. Go to Ultimate Rockets and read back through the articles. McHale started in on TRob from the first day.

    To be honest, I don't even know if PPat and MM getting traded hurt our chances. Those two knew the system but they didn't have Mchale's trust when the game was tight, it was always small ball at the end with parsons/Delfino at PF. Honestly even if you don't take potential into account I think D-Mo is already better than those two.

    As far as T-rob goes, hard work is all you really need with big men of his caliber. Watching Dmo and T-rob grow will be very interesting in the next couple of years.

    haven't you figured out it's CH's plan all along to be the anti-jinx to TRob's success. He really secretly loves TRob but doesn't want PPat to find out.

    Trobs better than dmo right now we'd be a better team is the roles were reversed and Trob got dmos minutes and dmo trobs minutes. He does two things good rebound and defense plus he has better chemistry it seems with his teammates and plays all out all the time. Parsons am harden are two best players by the way are always helping Trob out same with the coaches I sat behind the bench and he's always talking to the coaches on dead balls. This shows he wants to get better and is a willing learning. I just know the type of player and worker e is and i would be shocked if he doesn't turn out to be a top flight pf his potential is so high. By the way I literally sat behind the bench and Trob ain't short or small
    Like ppl keep trying to say. Him and Greg smith are identical in height standing next to each other and I don't here ppl saying he's small.

    I think what's going to separate Trob from dmo is that he knows he has alot to work on and listens to all te players not just the best players on team and on the bench he's always into the game and is jumping around doing the college thing with smith. He's a winner and that comes first to him which is rare in a young player who doesn't get consistent minutes. While dmo looks like he thinks he's already got the NBA down and is alot better than he really is. Sitting behind the bench he was sulking cause he was having a bad game and would not interact with the team at all and even though we won he looked unhappy. It's ok to be unhappy cause u played bad but you should still be happy for the team an the other guys cause we won. I think it was very telling that mchale tried to put Trob back into the game with a little under a minute to play for rebounding and defense and didnt go with dmo. These are signs that the coaching staff believes in certain things Trob does while if dmo isn't hitting shots he has no purpose being on the court right now, he's just not ready yet and it's showing.

    The use of the word always makes me believe that you put things out there to satisfy your opinion, not what is actually happening. We did not always, or anything near always, finish games with small line-ups...

    I can see where you would get that idea though. Every time we win, ClutchFans is stagnant, not much activity and overall not many new threads about our team's success or the good rotations. Every time we lose, ClutchFans blows up with vitriolic hate toward the coaches, Carlos Delfino and small ball - even if the said small ball line-up was only in the 3rd quarter for 3 minutes, it still cost us the game.

    I think it'd be easy for someone to get the impression that we use that line-up to finish games a lot more than we actually do.

    He's probably already our second best post defender and rebounder which makes him useful now.

    I agree. He can not improve his shooting so fast like Lin, that is because Lin can shoot good last season. But Trob never shoots well before, somebody can never shoot well, not because they don't try hard enough. Hopefully he can shoot next season.

    By the way, I don't like your sig.

    Can't wait to see the results of putting work in the off season. I'm not trying to go overboard but I think next season Rockets may be a 50+ win team.

    Sounds like he has a long way to go but he does seem to have raw talent and a desire to get better which is very encouraging. I hope we keep him.

    I really think this team doesn't need to make a lot of moves. Instead of trying to be instant contenders, we should try to get more young players and let the guys we have develop into stars. I think Parson, Lin, and Harden make up a strong core and they will get better with time. That's scary.

    I think Robinson's athleticism puts him on another level. Add to that an excellent work ethic, I'm really liking his chances of developing into something special.

    Why are people crying that the hate is unjustified? We are ROCKETS fans and we the fans and the city of houston have invested into this organization. White has done everything in his power to go above and beyond in trashing the rockets so F*** his anxiety. He deserves every bit of what hes getting, what everyone fails to understand is all the articles and interviews and occurances we've read about have been engaged by HIM. Not the Rockets organization, so once again F*** him and his anxiety. That is all

    TRob is a project and would have benefited by staying in college for 4 years, he would have come out a much more polished player. Now let's see if the Rox have the patience to develop him and not trade him. He needs to make a quantum leap this summer and next season or the Rox will deal him.

    I am one of doubters of Trob, but I will be glad if he proves me wrong.
