@  SadLakerFan : (16 September 2015 - 04:37 AM) Man, as a Laker fan, I'm learning how little you care about the off season when your team sucks. Anyway, a quick moment to remember Moses. Still remember watching the 81 team as a kid - losing record, NBA Finals. I would have cried w/joy if they could have beaten the Celtics.

@  thejohnnygold : (14 September 2015 - 04:36 PM) A good article from Blinebury talking about when Hakeem and Moses used to play in the park. LINK
@  rockets best... : (14 September 2015 - 02:29 AM) I agree totally. I got to watch his Rocket days and the man was a hell of a player. BIG MO R.I.P.
@  Mario Peña : (13 September 2015 - 05:24 PM) Sad to see Moses pass. I don't remember watching him as a Rocket but I do remember his Philly and Hawks teams. He was the perfect man to mentor Dream. It's a very sad day for his family and friends and there are many.

@  Losthief : (03 September 2015 - 02:26 AM) theres more articles all over, but the jist is houston (and texas) doesn't really arrest for it, they just recommend you leave it in your car when they catch it. So seems dwight got lucky he was in texas and not cali or the NE.
@  Losthief : (03 September 2015 - 02:22 AM) honestly we should just be glad they caught it...

In Topic: The keys to the Houston Rockets' season: #2 the Dwight Howard maintenance...

Dwight has shown before he is willing to sacrifice money, touches, and stats for the betterment of the team and the chance at a championship. I see no reason why he wouldn't sacrifice some a few minutes and some games to be physically prepared for the best shot at a championship. I think he would be much more willing to take games off to rest than be out of games trying to rehab nagging injuries.

I like harrell, but no way he can beat out capela. Clint is a rarity, rookies don't contribute big time in playoffs, unless they're insanely good.

Like I said I think Dwight values winning, and happiness over a few extra millions. I can't see him going to the bobcats or mavs to play in mediocrity for a few more millions.

 

I believe he will be willing to make a sacrifice for a few million to possibly make the team much better for a dynasty.

On the 3pt%, I expect harden's, lawson's, ariza's, KJ's averages all go up due to various reasons. Ariza will play less minutes across the season, letting him put more energy into his shot. Lawson was his most accurate from long range his first years when playing with melo where he was taking a far more off the ball spot up 3s and shooting more from the corners. With him being able to play off of harden, his average should increase as would harden's playing off of lawson. KJ will improve from player development as sophomore year is a big jump.

 

Hopefully Dmo's, Jones', and Beverley's averages increase as well building upon their previous years with improvement and having another elite 3pt shot creator in lawson.

 

Terry's shot should be around the same.

Thorton should help raise our average.

Brewer's shot is crap, can't see that getting better.

Overall I expect our 3pt averages to majorly increase due to minutes being spread out more meaning less tired players and flat shots, internal player improvement, and most importantly having a 2nd absolute elite 3pt creator in lawson to get more open looks on the arc.

 

Fun fact last season, harden being number 1 and lawson 2nd led the rest the league by a wide margin in 3pt assists. Learn that from Lowe.
