    he didn't say right now, he said now, as you can see in the quote on my original post. Once our original superstars get healthy, then he will be overtaken. For the preseason, I agree that he was, but not overall.

    I also agree that he is a great player, but I cannot in any way see how he is a top 10 player in the NBA.

    A question that arises is, what were the names of the second unit of years past? lol.

    If anything,I'd call the Bench "Fire Power" as simple as that

    Brent "Make it Rain 3's" Barry
    Carl "Dunks,Dunks,and Dunks" Landry
    Stevie "I'll make all my points at the FT Line (+ And 1s)" Franchise
    Shane "give the guy Artest is guarding even more fits" Battier
    Aaron "Too Damn Fast" Brooks

    Hahaha! I love the 'try harders'. I don't know, it just seems to fit. A nickname hastily put together for a bunch of guys who are all over the place (cause they're hustling around the court, calm down).

    How about...

    "The Houston Rockets reserves comprised of Aaron Brooks, Brent Barry, Shane Battier, Carl Landry and eventually Deke - also Chuck, Wafer and maybe Dorsey... Francis, too... well, maybe not"

    ?

    It just rolls off the tongue. Short and sweet. I can already see fans in an entire row of seats holding the biggest homemade sign in the history of professional basketball.

    Note: Replace "eventually" with "now" once Deke is signed.
