    Nope. He didn't say that at all. "Your" is what he meant.

    It's not just the shot, it's the attitude. Look at his body language compared to the other players when the floater hits. Llull would be awesome next to Harden.

    English isn't Llull's first language, cut him a little slack.

    Still bullish on Llull. Feel his game would be a great fit next to Harden. Rockets should still strongly chase him this summer.

    Daryl just retweeted a Hoops Hype post of the shot.

    Imagine if somehow we were able to bring this guy over for the stretch (not happening but it would be the biggest transaction of the regular season in the NBA). I think we go after him hard in the summer with the cap increase. He's the perfect sixth man on this team.

    All the middle-aged white men creaming their pants over this guy again.

    Sergio ain't looking to lull in the corner. Stay where you are.

    How about the young black people? Were they Scott Machado fans? I mean, why even bring racist bull **** to the board like that?

    First thing I thought of was Buck Johnson's half-court shot for the Rockets. He made it and was celebrating with everybody. The opposition had time to launch another half-court or so shot and hit it. No timeout after Buck's shot went in, the other team shot it with time running out and hit it. lol. I was like "yeah... that's the Rockets... that's Buck Johnson". One of those moments in Rockets history I can't forget.

    ...and that's where RR belongs.

    Llull's rights get traded to Grizz (as soon as Conley signs w/the _______s).

    The door for Llull to start or have a significant role was WIIIIIDE STINKING OPEN this past offseason. He didnt have a better opportunity to be a relevant NBA player.

    And he STILL turned it down (though he got a big pay bump to stay overseas). Thats not a good look about his seriousness to be in the NBA. Unfortunate because he'd be a nice fit on this team, but no hopes need to be wasted on uninterested people

    But look at Llull's hair, he'd be MVP in the NBA with that hair
