    CH will not be happy to read this.


    “He’s a beast, man. The league better get ready,” Harden said to CSNNW.com. “He knows what his job is, he knows what he’s great at and he does it to the best of his ability. T-Rob is a very hard worker, an excellent rebounder and he’s definitely skilled for someone of his size. I have no doubt about it that he’ll turn his career around in Portland.”

    Yeah, I don't see it. Sure he will have his good rebounding, block and scoring games but O have a lot more hope for D-Mo and TJ than Robinson.

    Well, we disagree. I value defense and would prefer T Rob over D Mo.

    I wonder if the Blazers will play Aldridge at center when Robinson enters the games. That has potential to be a very well spaced floor on offense.

    He only has nice things to say about non-Rockets. He is a cancer. Trade him for Landry Fields!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

    And yeah he's probably right that TRob will improve. If he gets a jumper, that changes a lot. I think Portland will be happy with him in a couple years.

    I hope it does work out for him. He has some pre-requisites that make for a good player in motor, straight head, penchant for defense. He just got stuck in situations beyond his control. My only question at this point would be is; will he get the minutes behind Aldridge? It wouldn't surprise me if this guy would be close to a double double with around 30 mins burn on the floor if they didn't have Aldridge. Rebounding with a good motor tends to scale well with minutes.

    As if this was relevant. What's Harden going to say? If he criticizes him, he'll get ripped in the media for being a bad teammate.

    T-Rob will definitely be a better player the 2Pat.

    Still rather have Dwight, of course :grin:

    Add demanding Lin stay was not enough.

    Back on topic. T-Rob is raw and young and has talent. I think he will do a damn good job in Portland

    TRob showed flashes of brilliance during his brief tenure. I would not be surprised that he finally breaks out. I would say his potential is greater than the some of the others who have passed through the Rockets organization. I bet he has more of an impact than Thabeet for example.

    T Jones is better than T Rob.

    I thought Trob showed a lot of promise and it's unfortuante we couldn't hold on to him but I'd certainly rather have what we got instead.
