    That's a shame. Dekker has had a very solid season. Hope he heals quickly.

    Gotta give Williams more run, no?

    One game doesn't make him a capable 3 point shooter as he's been ~33% in his limited time on the Griz and on both D League teams. He's got athleticism over any other wing on the Rockets, can pass a little bit, and finish at the rim. He came out and played like he belong with his first chance, no doubt.

    Troy has been a streaky 3-point shooter at best in the D-League. I can't imagine he's all of a sudden become a consistent one. Hopefully he can take some of the pressure of other players and also be the recipient of lobs and drives/penetrations to help in the scoring. That, and play some defense when needed.

    Sucks for Dekker and the Rockets. Let's hope our bench guys can step in and be solid for our team.

    I like how Beverley was trying hard to console him and help him off the court. I f'n love Patrick Beverley - I'm serious.

    Gotta be utterly heartbreaking to fight & grind through this whole season and have this happen in a meaningless game at the very end before playoffs. I feel for the guy.

    Should we have a "which flawed former Rocket should we sign" fight? Scola vs TJones vs Smith?

    I'm on team Smith. :p

    Wait, what's Carlos Delfino up to?

    true that he was stinking up the joint but until troy williams we had nobody to put in the game who would be stinking up the joint less.

    Do you think troy williams will sustain good play? I feel like he might fall off

    Obviously it will fall off but not to the level where he is scared to be out there

    Either way 8 man playoff rotation is set. Troy may get spot minutes here and there

    Feel for Sam.

    I know the majority of Clutchfans want to run him out of town, but we're going to miss his small winning plays that he would've contributed in the Playoffs.

    Ala Prigioni.

    Hoping for a quick recovery.

    In his first game with the Rockets Troy Williams sank 6 threes.

    He literally cannot be any worse than Dekker shooting the 3.

    Already a positive.

    Obviously feel bad for Dekker though.
