    Sorry, I should have added "Every time he has gotten minutes, lately, he has played very well."

    When he got back from that injury, he was pretty piss poor. But since that stretch, he has been solid for us when he get the opportunity. He was a huge part of the comeback in Detroit and played well last night.

    I think he deserves more minutes, even when Jones comes back. I liked the lineup we started the 4th quarter last night with. Terry, Harden, Brewer, Pap and Smoove. Our three best passers on the court with a slasher and 3-point shooter.

    He deserves it. Such a nice young man. Wish him the best, if he's not a rocket very soon.

    Had the savvy to get in that courtside interview with James Harden LOL

    He played his usual game. Not much shooting, some nice assists, and also TOs when he was trying to go fast in transition. A lot of towel-waving on the bench.

    He must be glad the Rockets got him because that gave him enough visibility to be included in the All-Star weekend. How long will he remain a Rocket? Not sure

    I think the injured Kelly O would have played better than KPapa.
