    Yeah something did happen, he decided not to run Rick's offense and was rightfully dog housed.

    There is no thinking involve in that Bro. Whether or not he's better than Terrence, he's a much more attractive player for other GM's as well. Terrence has been blacklisted. They shouldn't even be thought of in the same category.

    Asset collection & money ball at its finest. Over 60% of the season is over and our third stringer is a lottery pick who's minutes I can count on two hands.

    I would probably watch the Rockets more if he was playing and we were losing a lot of games. It's more interesting because there is a "?" at the end of the season in the draft. We all know what happens if we make or miss the playoffs.

    Time to grow a pair, Mook. Nobody's going to hand you a starting job in the NBA if you're not a top 5 draft pick.

    Must be frustrating for him. Being drafted together with his brother, but not even a single minute of playing time compared to his brother.

    They should just give the kid some minutes. Look what Patterson did last year. What's the worst that could happen? It's not like we're contending this year, so we might as well give him some playing time to develop his game and get used to being on an NBA court. We might never know what he can unless they give him some minutes. However, I don't agree with players venting their frustrations on twitter. That's what little middle school girls do.

    So the answer is either don't collect assets, or trade them for pennies on the dollar? People really should look at the Rockets roster as a collection of players, and be happy with who ends up winning playing time, regardless of their pedigree.

    As far as I'm concerned, the Rockets went into the draft with 3 draft picks. If you told me beforehand they would end up with a 7 foot European prospect, a starting wing who can guard Kevin Durant and not look foolish, and a guy who plays in the D-League the entire year, I'd have been thrilled. So what if the 2nd rounder is the one who ends up starting? If he's better, he's better.

    And next year, he'll definitely have a chance to earn some major minutes with all the free agents the Rockets have. Without Lee and Dragic, Budinger will likely have to soak up backup minutes at the 2, and McHale won't be able to run his small-ball lineups with Lee at the 3. If he can truly play, he'll definitely see the court.

    Not sure if he's directing this towards the Rockets but I don't blame him if he is. For him it must be incredibly difficult to see Parsons in the starting lineup because he, himself was drafted higher. Just wait your turn sir, everyone is given a shot, whether it be with the Rockets or another team. You just have to be patient. Continue to improve and show the coaches you're a team player.

    Or you can pull a Twill and put your team and everyone associated with you on blast just because you're not getting time on the court. Excuse me sir, I don't believe you're getting to do what you enjoy for free. We all know Twill is exceptionally talented, it's the mouth and attitude that's the issue. You don't play team ball, we don't play you. Not to hard right? Be professional, and don't draw media attention to yourself. Especially negative media attention. You're supposed to be a role model for crying outloud. It's not like the 3-4 coaches Twill had before him didn't bench him for his habits and tendencies. Geez man, show up to freaking practice, show up ON TIME, EARLY IN FACT. And maybe you might get a chance to play?

    Hopefully we get some trades going because all this "depth" we have is really starting to create issues in the locker room. Martin and Scola still probably aren't playing to their abilities because of the failed trade. If only Thabeet was contributing at Center, then we'd be able to move Patterson/Hill back to the 4 and have them be extremely effective again. =/ Life would then be alot easier for the Rockets...

    I still think Morris will be solid. He just needs an opportunity. That seems to be the problem for a lot of guys on this team though.

    Marcus is too much a tweener and hasn't shown his ability to defend starting SFs in this league. I think he would get more PT if it weren't for CP25, but that dude is flat-out blowing his competition (CBud, TWill and MMo) out of the water.

    Well he hasn't shown his ability to do anything in the NBA yet as he has barely played.
