It's in poor taste, but it's funny so enjoy this t-shirt graphic some creative folks have come out with.



Here's a link to their site: LINK They have all kinds of fun Houston sports/culture gear.

Yeah, this is a non-issue in my book.  D-Mo seems bright enough to recognize that he is entering a season on a true championship contender having previously established himself as a legitimate starter who still has upside.  He will get plenty of opportunities to improve on his game while thinking about the max (or near max) deal he is going to get after this season.

 

I'm not worried about his back.  I'm not worried about his attitude.  I'm not worried about his role.

 

I'm more concerned with this squad creating 20 point 4th quarter leads so that we can watch McDaniels, Harrell, and co. do their thing.  Otherwise, the only way we see them is if we have another injury-riddled season like last year.

 

I hope McDaniels and Ariza are spending lots of time together.  It seems like a natural progression for KJ to evolve into the caliber and type of player Trevor is.  Ariza will be 33 when his contract expires...perhaps he will slide into a Jason Terry role and let McDaniels take the reigns...

 

I think I'm most excited about our second unit.  We all know the starters are going to be ridiculous.  I think the key to those 4th quarter blowouts is what the second unit brings.  Beverley, Thornton, Brewer, Motiejunas (despite my desire for him to play with the starters), and Capela are going to destroy other benches.  That's solid offense and plenty of defense.

 

 

 

 

As far as the second unit is concerned, Harden recently said that it has not been decided if Lawson will start or be the 6th man. Personally, I would love to see a 2nd unit of Lawson, Jet, Brewer, Tjones, Capella. The first unit would play with pace like a Porsche, then the 2nd unit would come in and take the pace to even higher level, like a Ferrari. Teams are going to get winded quickly. This would be so much fun to watch.

Yes. It hasn't been that long. It was back in March. Things have been quite civil lately. I think there are a handful of reasons for that. However it happened--I'm glad it did.

Which is why I said "vast majority" and not all. There is a reason 99% of them left the forum once Lin got traded.

Yeah...the debate is a lot more civil nowadays....
