    I think he can do it. Hayes would probably be better at defending 3's though.

    I think Adelman is going to start Lee at the 3, with Dragic backing up both the 1 and the 2. From what he said, he'll probably experiment Patterson at the 3 and see if it works. Whatever it is, Williams is at the end of the line in Adelman's mind, and I am not sure if it's a bad thing.

    And look for Lowry, Martin and Lee playing LOTS of minutes.

    Yup. Problem with Squid is that he's a bad combination of being athletic, dumb, and egotistical. He's too dumb that he 1) doesn't know when to shut his trap, 2) thinks being athletic is enough for him to be the second coming of Jordan, and 3) doesn't realize he's undermined his own once promising career. And he's too egotistical to have some humility to right his career and realize that when Avery Johnson and Rick Adelman bench your ass, it might be time to stop blaming the coaches and do a little introspection.

    im not sure its in the rockets best interest to pull hayes off the 5 spot right now, depending on the match-ups of course. his defensive skills at that position are much more valuable to the team than anywhere else in the lineup.

    It is a really bad thing considering we gave up a 1st rounder for the guy.

    Funny you should say that about him shooting 3's. If remember correctly one of the first games 2Pat played in the D-League he shot a 3 and missed, the announcer said, "well at least he came down here to work on something".

    2Pat can shoot the 3 ball. I think he would only put it up with time running down though.

    It would be sweet if he started coming of the high screen and popping 3's....swiiiish.

    Why do people call Terrence Williams Squid? Where did that come from?

    Carl Herrera made a thread titled " Squid wants to be considered human" or something like that. He was talking about the T-will situation, but referring to T-will as a Squid......and he even had a picture of a Squid on a plate.

    Oh, I thought it originated from something before that.

    I'm pretty sure it was before that....something to do with "Release the Kracken!"
