    I just want Boki to be able to play enough minutes this year to give Rice's knees a rest.

    Isn't Nachbar leading the poll on who we want the most info about? If I was Clutch I'd be getting all the info I could on Nachbar since that's who people supposedly what to hear about. As for me I'll take all the Boki stories Clutch feels like dishing out.

    Is it just me, or does it seem like TMo will have a tough time getting ANY minutes this year, particularly if KT successfully transitions to the 3? Time to carve out a perpetual spot on the IR for him I guess.

    This crossed my so-called mind, too, but I'll be optimistic about Boki the Kid.

    I did enjoy Nachbar's journal today where he said his injury is affecting his shot and it still needs work.

    Heck why stop there! if we go far in the playoffs, we might have CO-rookies of the year in Boki AND Yao... (sorry if someone has already mentioned this!)

    one thing though. off the top of my head, hasn't the past couple of ROY been all decent rebounders? is Boki a good rebounder too?

    DaDakota,

    Did you have to look that one up, big boy? That 19'9 measurement is to the middle of the basket. A ball is less that a foot in diameter and a basket is 18' in diameter. So a 20'er from the key is a swish :p. and that is what it is called out by everyone in the world other than DaDakota, I guess.

    I love how when Rockets fans are happy about a team somebody runs on the board and yells "Yeah and you guys think they're going to beat the Lakers", as if we're saying the Rockets are going 82-0 or something.

    Langhi would be close. That hurt like hell to say because I actually thought Air Langhi would amount to something. :(

    Thats great to hear about Boki, looks like we'll have some production from the SF position this year. Has anyone heard anything else about Griffin? I'd like to know if his inside game has improved.

    Clutch - thanks again.

    Did you see Moochie? Can you really tell that he has lost weight?

    Did you get to see Mobley shooting any? If so how good did he look?

    Moochie? I didn't know he lost weight. Did you mean Taylor? :confused:

    All I am curious about is Cato, but Clutch said there'd be an article on him so I don't have any questions.

    That would make him about 140 lbs, from his roster weight. (175.)
    He didn't gain like 90 lbs over the break, did he?

    I've only read about Mo and Rice losing weight. Not Moochie.

    I remember being excited about Langhi because of his scoring stats in college...but did he really put up the kind of shooting performances that Bostjan is? I don't remember hearing anything like that.

    RC,

    There's another thread where Moochie mentioned on the news that he reported last year around 235 lbs after holding out. He said he is down to about 200 now and would like to be at 195 or so.
