When do the Rockets have to trim their roster or place players on IR? ------------------ "Not just a layup, but a mundane layup." -- Calvin Murphy, not realizing that a mundane layup IS just a layup.
These are the 3 guys who are very nervous: Langhi Boseman Bullard Only reason Collier isn't nervous is because he was a first round pick.
Why would Bullard be nervous? He's been on the team since 1990 and has had a decent preseason (if his job was ever in jeapordy). As a matter of fact why would we cut anybody? We could carry up to 15 with the injured list, and have only 14 now. Boseman gets cut if anyone does, but I'd bet Rudy T finds 2 injuries among our current players. ------------------

There are only 14 players on the roster right now. So, feasibly we will only have to place 2 on IR. ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
I don't think Boseman's nervous, I'm sure he pretty much knows he ain't making the active roster. The last guy will come down to one of the two rookies, IMO. ------------------ When you make an assumption, you make an ass out of yourself and umption. visit www.swirve.com
He had one good game and that was against the Pistons. He had a terrible Preseason. And besides if you have to decide between him and Langhi I would would take Langhi because he is younger more athletic and cheaper.
Yeah but did you see him blocking shots? Seriously, he was third in the NBA in three-point shooting percentage last year. That's good. He is one diminsional. But if we dropped Bull today, there'd be 28 other teams that would like to pick up a 6'10" guy who can shoot 45% from the arc. Bullard can help us right now as a spot player; I'm not sure Langhi is ready yet. His time will come. Plus, it makes no sense to say a player's cheaper. They both have guaranteed contracts and we'd have to pay the guy whether we keep him on the roster or not. I stand by my comment that we have no reason to drop anyone. If we do it will be Stais. ------------------
When i saw Boseman playing in a preseason game(forgot who it was against) he played pretty well. He made excellent defensive plays and nice passes, and compared to what Collier has done I like Boseman. ------------------ SJSLAX82 Visit my site Blast Off

why is is that hard working, shooting guards with good defense and good drives and pretty nice jumpers are looked down at. Rodrick rhodes, boseman, anderson, elie, and any other ones im not remembering
