    Neither you nor anyone else can suggest (and be correct) that MoT has hustled after rebounds his entire career. To be that big and tall, and to have so many opportunities, and to have so few rebounds to show for it should embarrass the guy. He's supposed to a power forward. As a rebounder, he's a joke. Take his body and skills and add KT's heart and hustle, and then you might have a stellar player.

    Luckily we have MT, EG and KT. Our PF position should bring 22 pts, 12 rebounds a game by committee.

    Plus, you'd have a player about 30lbs lighter! :D

    Here's view from Fanball (Da's not the only one):

    Rockets: Taylor returns to practice

    News
    Maurice Taylor, who has been battling a sprained ankle all of training camp, was given the green light to practice and play, according to the Houston Chronicle. "I definitely don't feel just 100 percent of where I was before I got hurt," Taylor said. "There are some things I still have to work on, getting my feet a little quicker. It's not really the big things like my jump shot or running. It's the small things I have to get back, like the timing on defense, knowing where to be on offense, timing issues. Once I get that back, I'll be closer to where I was. There wasn't any pain, because it's been a long time. I feel like I can fight through it, and it's going to get better as time goes on."

    Knowing Taylor's injury history, he will get hurt again any minute. Obviously, we don't think the forward can stay healthy.
