    I feel bad because I see potential in luther head...but he just disapears when it comes to the playoffs.

    Damn, how many times have the Rockets tried to recruit this guy? Finally we get him.

    Rockets run in the blood of the Barry family.

    He won't get us out of the first round, but a healthy team surely will. Bascially if Yao wouldn't haven't got hurt last year, chances they probably would have got the first seed and played Denver instead of Utah. It's not like they missed it by many games.

    Do not underestimate the impact Barry can have off of the bench. Think about how many times last year we witnessed T-Mac drive to the hoop or Yao receive the double team, a kick out to a wide open (insert crappy three point shooter here), him shooting the ball and missing horribly. This results in opposing teams losing all fear of cutting off TMac's lanes or double teaming Yao.

    A career 40% shooter (who is STILL an awesome shooter at the ripe ol' age of 36) will help unclog those lanes and allow our two superduper stars to do the unstoppable that they do so well. Toss in his competent ball handling skills and I'd say this is an awesome addition to the core.

    Get excited friends... get excited...

    With a healthy crew (fingers crossed) we are contenders for the crown.

    Nice pick up. If he can play some PG against second stringers that would be a plus. Even 6-8 minutes a game that would relieve Rafer and Tmac would be nice.

    Nice!! Now it is time to get Luther a new home. I wish Landry does not take all of the MLE and the Rockets can some way get Mo Evans in the mix.

    He is a 46-47% 3 point shooter that shoots everytime he is open. He can also play defense well and now he is playing for Adelman this good... very good.

    He can shoot and pass but he can't stop quick or strong guards.

    Let's hope he can help us bring a championship and some HEB commercials.
