    I didn't know he was hired to be a fashion model for the Rockets. I could care less what he looks like. All I care about is how he builds this franchise with the players he brings in, and the moves he makes.

    You will care when he needs a triple bypass. In all seriousness it was just an observation. Morey is a Romney man.... maybe he can workout with Paul Ryan and ride the P90X dragon into oblivion.

    Wonder if DM will track "crazy above replacement player" for Royce White. My guess is that he ends up somewhere between Mike Newlin and Rafer Alston, and not up near a Ron Artest/Vernon Maxwell level.

    Thanks for write up J.R.

    790, y no post game? Preseason not good enough?
    =)


    the whole run and gun scares me a little. What was the word the murph used to described the play," wreckless"? anyways, it felt as the more they 'ran and gunned' asik's defensive presence was neutralized.

    And If D-mo is the best post player, I wonder who mctalky is calling in the middle of the night! he must be freaked out!

    Thanks mattj; thanks JR. Thanks that the season will begin albeit with low level of optimism for Ws but high on hope for development.

    FWIW - - I believe most in Royce; been most positively surprised by Terrence's entrance. Too much youth to win last 5 mins of games, I fear.

    I keep thinking of the mid-80s Cavs (and what they almost were; but for The Bad Boys then MJ). :p

    I don't think McHale was the only one wanting White. Morey has said after draft that the players on roster with most upside are Lamb and White. At the time, I was wondering if he was leaving DMo out since he wasn't signed...now not so sure. White is definitely a different player.

    Daryl seemed pleasantly surprised at the depth and insight of the questions being asked. Definitely did not get that from the clowns at 610.
