    The bench has gotten bigger and better. Alexis should get going. Can't once TJones gets back this team will be very deep.

    But effort has nothing to do with fitting in...

    What a half by the rockets, I love this team. Harden in full beast mode.

    Mind you, last year we were killed in the playoffs by LMA, I want to dominate Portland with him on the court.

    Except Brewer's career is about 3x longer and more consistent

    Rikcy, it's called putting the ball in the basket.

    Try it sometime.

    Pretty much. Brewer has been this guy his career. Hamilton was a player trying to find his niche in the league.

    Harden is playing like he is in the 2K game. Nobody can stop him, even the cheats by the AI.

    DET waived smith today and clears waivers likely Wednesday. Rockets are likely interested in offering him the BAE ($2mill). Rox look to be the front runner for his services.

    you are exactly right, players who are slashers and finishers at the rim run breaks for layups. when u haveplayers who struggle to finish on a break like a small point gaurd they look for reason not to get the ball in those spots. They feel much more comfortable spotting up instead

    He won't shoot the 3 well every night. He's streaky, he'll hit them all, or miss them all.
    But every night he'll get 2.7 steals, he'll fill the passing lanes on the fast break, and bring hustle and energy and a bit of passing.
    He shot 48% his last season in Minny - every reason to believe he'll do that here - running the break and finishing, and cutting in the halfcourt. Sure, he might be streaky on the 3, but he isn't here to be a shooter.

    Let's keep it up in the 3rd. Portland has OKC tomorrow and they might call it early.
