    Oh for sure. No doubt about that. I hope Terry will still choose us.

    Just knew that MT would be ready, being able to play for a contending team will bring out the best in him which will be great for the Rockets.

    Thorton is already fun to play with NBA2K and is a beast when he's on a hot streak. Now with him, Lawson, and them adding in McDaniels this team is going to be a favorite pick for players.

    Page 1 only mentioned Thornton's offensive capabilities.

    How's his defense?

    Deuce, yeah me too. I think he's going to be that instant-offense guy off the bench, which is just what we needed. Creates his own separation off the dribble for jumpshots, always moves, hits threes, drives...he's a scorer. McDaniels is going to have his work cut out for him trying to take minutes from MT, Brew, Harden, Trev, Lawson, Brewer. We are so stacked compared to the Canaan Pap Casspi Daniels, RONNIE Brewer, Garcia days...

    When Thrornton has the hot hand and is in with Lawson and Harden he could end up burning the net. Could be a fun thing to watch.

    Yes he will be the shooter that the Rockets have always longed for.

    Whatever happened to Jermaine Taylor though?

    He doesn't even need much daylight to launch it and doesn't need to be set either.

    It is going to be fun seeing him on the court with Harden or Lawson. That space is going to be so much more than he's ever experienced in the NBA.

    The start of this season can't come soon enough.

    No excuse for not getting him minutes. Rockets are going to learn really fast that he has what they need next to Harden.

    Rockets can't hit a shot all night, yet arguably their best shooter doesn't play?

    MT is a vet, but he's not thrilled.

    Also, I'm calling this a good loss. As a coach, you need these to wake up early on.

    When Golden State comes next, we'll be better.

    I think the shots that Trev and James took were decent, but they weren't falling. And yes, I am biased towards Trev. He is the most underrated player on this team, IMO.

    Corey Brewer, the Great Dane, however, played the worst game I've seen from him since my ties in Denver. My damn.

    We're good, guys.

    It's earLY, but things will come together quickly.

    Dwight to the rescue?

    He shouldn't be. He played well in the preseason. When the team needs offense, he should play.

    I have no idea why Terry is over him in the rotation, especially in an early regular season game.

    good to hear from you!

    Why did coach not play MT. Doesn't make much sense.

    Already in the dog house?

    Or is it just McHale being McHale?
