    There's nothing power about that. He's more worried of pulling his jersey up to show off them guns. Proceeds to shoot a 15 foot jumper, or a nice fluffy soft put back under the rim.

    That is a farking joke. I have seen enough of Patterson. Start Morris and let Jones be the backup. Time to develop talent and groom a future star. My bet is on Morris. We will miss Absolutely Nothing from Patterson.

    His confidence is sky high. His shooting touch has improved. Morris is ready.

    Ppat has got to be trade bait. I cannot see how the Rockets think he is a starter pf material. Besides having a decent offensive game, he does nothing that a legit pf should do. Doesn't rebound, set soft screens, doesn't box out, and would rather throw up a soft floaty than hammer it down. In other words, he loves to shy away from contact.

    We went from one soft PF (scola) to another softy. At least scola had a post up game and a superior offensive skillset. Ppat has bench player written all over him.

    You think he's soft? Maybe. He's worlds better than last year. He doesn't play with his back to the hoop (frustrating) but his improvement since his surgery has been remarkable.

    Have to disagree about Scola. Just because he doesn't dunk doesn't mean he is soft. Tough player.

    ATW, I might just have to retract my previous statement. I guess all that flopping may have tarnished my image of Scola. However, I do remember him diving for loose balls, battling down low and making a key put back while pumping my fists. Just a little disappointed that he would get out rebounded at times. Come to think of it, he's not the most athletic, still boxed out and got inside position. Simply the other more athletic player out jumped him from behind. So yeah, he is tough as bull compared to uhh Mr. peepat.

    Patterson was an absolute beast his rookie year. I remember quite a few crazy putback dunks. I guess he hasn't been (nor will be) the same after his surgery. At this point he's probably trade bait.

    You think Horace grant was soft?!!

    He and bill Cartwright were the Bulls FC during the first championship run.

    He battled the thug Knicks FC during those intense playoff series.

    I think he was Making a sarcastic remark about Patterson's rebounding.

    it's just funny to me. ppat is probably the biggest guy on the team muscular wise but he's soft like a pony.
