    The price is a little steep ($9 mil over 6 years), but you can't replace Bowen's hustle and grit.

    Did anyone catch how he hustled over to contest Jamison's shot against Washington yesterday night? Yeah, he stumbled to the floor in trying to do so, but that just shows the kind of competitor he is.

    I wonder if the new numbers guy GM approves of this? Maybe it's just CD leaving Les a present before he leaves.

    Props to Bowen.

    thats what i was thinking. rbow is a great guy and very loyal to jvg, but i cant believe that he would take such a lowball offer to play for him when there are 29 other teams who could make a better offer.

    the rockets and cd have always been very generous with big money contracts to those who deserve it (cato, taylor, moochie) and i dont understand how they could not fork over the cash that rbow deserves. its a slap in the face. but hey, if he took it than i guess he is dumber or more loyal than we thought.

    Good Move.


    See kids, if all you bring to the table is talent, skills, and a great work ethic you could just end up like tmac; but what really counts in the end is "intensity". A magnitude that only the great players can bring......so the intentitude has been brought, so bring it.


    Now if we could only make Patrick a full time assistent coach, then all will be complete.

    They gave Matt Maloney a boat load of jack so nothing surprises me with this team.

    6 year 54 million not enough for a player that looks like a "chicken running with its head cut off"
