Are we just going to ignore the play of Garrison Mathews?

    Neither will I. Garrison's hard nosed attitude on the court, that "edge" @D-rock mentioned, assuming he keeps getting minutes (no sure thing with Silas) and hitting treys at a good percentage, will make him a fan favorite, in my opinion. Rockets fans have always had a soft spot for guys who play with an attitude, and back it up on the court.

    From that left corner he should let fly at least 5 times a game.

    And his form looks good from top of the key too.

    I'm all good if he just keeps doing what he's doing.

    Damn, his steals/dunks, out hustling other team and then finally finding his stroke.

    Really love how the team is playing and that G-Man is a big part of the change.

    He’s on a two way?
    Is there room to sign him?

    Get this chump off the court. He's hurting their draft position.

    Jalen Green! Jalen Green!

    What I don’t get is how this guy slips through the cracks. Great shooter, upper tier athlete, good size and hustles on D.
    Just a late bloomer?
    He’s like a better shooting Caruso

    He's getting noticed now I feel. Think it was a post game for celtics, they were complaining about bad shooting on their players, then out of the blue, one guy mentions how Garrison is doing it well for us in HOU.

    Yeah I can get how just pure shooters can slip through the cracks, if they don’t offer more than just shooting (although I think that should be a premium), but this kid just turned 25 and has some game to him. 3&D with good to great athleticism and the right mentality.
    I’ll take it

    Seems like him, Tate, KJ are pieces for a contender. Need the young guys with potential to turn into the lead dogs quickly

    I like having shooters like him and Brooks, feels like something we haven’t had in a while
