@  08huangj : (14 April 2014 - 01:15 AM) I've watched a lot of his games
@  08huangj : (14 April 2014 - 01:15 AM) Guys, I live in Guangzhou. Just in case you didn't notice, Powell was in Guangzhou playing with the tigers before he came to the Rockets. No midrange shot. Good rebounder. Bad defender. Good at attacking the rim. This is my summary for his time at Guangzhou.
@  Cooper : (13 April 2014 - 11:16 PM) hes 6-9 so id guess more of a pf but it doesn't really matter either way I guess.
@  Buckko : (13 April 2014 - 11:02 PM) Not really, you seen his season averages? Not pretty.
@  Sir Thursday : (13 April 2014 - 10:18 PM) He's more of a PF, I thought. You could always make the specious "RINGZZZ!" argument, since he won two with the Lakers...
@  Buckko : (13 April 2014 - 09:04 PM) Waived Pittman, signed Josh Powell. I don't really get why they signed a scrub SF.
@  Drew in Abilene : (13 April 2014 - 02:41 AM) In the postgame interview, Bev said he was alright, but it looked iffy...
@  08huangj : (13 April 2014 - 02:40 AM) Not watching the game. Just looking at the play-by-plays.
@  08huangj : (13 April 2014 - 02:39 AM) Rockets win!
@  Drew in Abilene : (13 April 2014 - 02:39 AM) Oh gosh, I hope Beverley isn't hurt again... He was taken out in the last few seconds limping after falling and looking like he hurt his right knee...
@  08huangj : (13 April 2014 - 02:39 AM) yep
@  Drew in Abilene : (13 April 2014 - 02:35 AM) Harden, Lin, and Beverley all coming up big in these last few clutch minutes.
@  08huangj : (13 April 2014 - 02:01 AM) And why is Parsons missing?
@  08huangj : (13 April 2014 - 02:00 AM) If Rockets don't get better soon, they are not going to be the fourth seed in the western conference.
@  08huangj : (13 April 2014 - 01:59 AM) Howard and Beverley are both back, but look at the scoreboard: They are losing by 12 points to the Pelicans. What a dissapointment
@  Drew in Abilene : (13 April 2014 - 01:55 AM) I don't agree with blaming McHale for the end of this season. He's been missing two starters which has been a huge blow, and has been trying to not ride other major players too hard right before the playoffs.
@  miketheodio : (12 April 2014 - 06:49 PM) hope this doesn't become another mchale end of season collapse
@  08huangj : (12 April 2014 - 02:41 PM) Wake up, Rockets.
@  pharmag : (12 April 2014 - 02:45 AM) Man...at the end Wolves were just kinda throwing the ball at the basket and it was going it.
@  pharmag : (12 April 2014 - 02:17 AM) Last two foul calls were absolutely awful. Haven't been watching the whole game, but if this is par for game, these refs are pretty bad...

    News this morning was that we signed Dexter Pittman to a 10-day and released Greg Smith. We get another wide bodied, apparently healthy guy to help out in the post while releasing one who hasn't played for most of the season. I see this as a lateral move, talent-wise. Judging from his playing record, he really hasn't had a chance to show much. Averaging 7 rebounds and 11 points with the Toros this season in 20 MPG. I think this is a wise move by Morey as we don't yet know if Dwight will last the postseason, Asik can't go it alone, and D-Mo is NOT a center. If he is able for a few minutes per game to cause some physical disruption in the post on defense when Asik sits, then that's about all we can ask for. I have a feeling his D will be better than Smith's which will pair well next to the offensively talented D-mo, off the bench. Possibly a nice little upgrade, but definitely not a downgrade, IMO.... Thoughts?

      While we know Smith was a waste of a roster spot, Dexter Pittman is worse. He is just a tall 6 foul guy in case of injuries/foul trouble.

        There's a reason smith was in the NBA and Pittman wasn't.
