NBA TV is terrible

Unless C Webb, Shaq and Kenny are on there…bunch of babbling fools. Bad programming too, nothing like watching Ahmad Rashad talk for the other 21 hours they aren’t showing a basketball game.

They really need a permanent studio crew that doesn't include Greg Anthony.

I watched one night when they couldn’t get the play-by-play audio for Chicago for the ten minutes or so, and so Ernie Johnson and Chris Webber just did the commentary. That was good.

by Only_A_Lad on Jan 27, 2012 7:08 PM CST up reply actions  

That's when it's best

Ernie and C Webb there…C Webb is one of those players that really knows the game, love hearing his view on things. If only he had known he didn’t have any timeouts

Bud showing up all game and in diff aspects of the game. Good way to bounce back from being benched

I think the way McHale chooses line-ups is he will work with his 8-man core until something goes wrong. Then he will incorporate other players one at a time. First he had to incorporate Goran, Lee, then PPat. Tonight it’s CBud

dont be

inconsistency is the name of Hill’s game, to wait on that potential mean you might have to give up other possibilities

Rockets simply decided to cut their losses early

by NVP on Jan 27, 2012 9:53 PM CST up reply actions  

Totally worth giving up a guy who can at least get you a double double to be spurned in FA.

Can’t wait for the excuses from the FO about how they didn’t think in a million years free agents (many of them mediocre) wouldn’t flood to Houston if they just had cap space.

He could give you double doubles

He could also be invisible. It’s the same as Tyrus Thomas, JJ Hickson, Jason Maxiel, Hakim Warrick and any number of young and talented big guys

They should be awesome, and they are sometimes, but they’re not most of the time

If playing for a contract makes Jordan Hill a better player for other teams, all the power to him

by NVP on Jan 27, 2012 10:06 PM CST up reply actions  

All I meant in what I said was simply this:

The Rockets are quitting on a guy as the light is going on who can give you something good in the hopes that some theoretical free agent will give them everything they ever hoped for. Recent history is a good indicator they won’t get what they want, but they’re still going to try it.

It's not like low risk gambles are gonna get us anywhere

Whether or not Jordan Hill is “getting it” is debatable. What Jordan Hill currently brings is probably replaceable through draft or free agency

A star by any means necessary, it’s the same as trying to trade Lee, Dragic and any one on this roster

by NVP on Jan 28, 2012 11:52 AM CST up reply actions  

Double-double

10 rebounds (good), 10 points on 11 shots (bad)

He has good games, he has bad ones, just like other players. He averages out to be somewhere around the middle. For $3.5 million, it’s okay to pay him next year, but the Rockets think they can do better. They probably can.

by Only_A_Lad on Jan 27, 2012 10:15 PM CST up reply actions  

I bet they just negotiate a cheaper deal with him at the end of the season.
