    Haha. It's not that he's missing. It's that he's getting scared, like Ryno. He has passed up a lot of open shots over the last couple of games. Let 'em fly!

    Yeah, Morey might have to offer a two-way contract.

    Yes. But he shows he is capable of shooting at a decent clip by law of averages.

    You have to be ok for him to go into shooting slumps at his salary when he provides everything else we need consistently.. which is playing excellent defense, bringing the ball up court, penetrating the paint and making smart passes.

    It's been awhile to see that from any player not named Paul and Harden.

    MDA will straighten him out on that issue. "Seven seconds or less" has become "Shoot it or get off the damn court!"

    Gotta say, I already miss hating Austin. In many ways he was the perfect villain.

    Yep. He isn’t afraid to drive through the paint and he’s in control when he does it. He came in right when CP3 went out. We would be in bad shape if he wasn’t here.

    The same is true of Faried. We needed both of them.

    Morey did a nice job finding these guys and the team has done a great job integrating them into the system without much practice and no training camp.

    We have had 1-3 starters out for most of the season. Only the Rockets and GS could withstand a hit like that in the West and still be in the playoffs.

    I think Morey is preparing for $15 million a year to sign Faried, Rivers and House in early July. I hope Morey send an unprotected First to Bulls for Parker to bring down $15 million salary for next season.

    It could be #1 seed again next season.

    I think it's still illegal in Texas for Austin man to love Houston man.

    Is it/would it be possible for Morey to use the remaking mle this year to extend rivers or manimal?

    Not sure on the technical ability, but it would seem to be an ideal way to retain both

    Faried has a better chance to sign minimum than Rivers and House.
    Doc Rivers wants money according to his face of the Critique. I'd sign Faried and House.

    Anyway, in order to be 1 seed, Tilman has to sign all three.
