Hindsight 20/20, kind of glad we didn't hire Lucas as our HC. He has a role here, just not HC.

This seems like a pretty low risk move. If they can convince Porter to clean up his act we get a good player. If not we lose a pretty much worthless 2nd round pick. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
ATHLETE
Perfect situation to take a shot on him. Gave up a pick that's not even likely to convey for him, so possibly gave up literally nothing.
Lucas as the mentor, plenty of minutes to go around. He could be the new Vernon Maxwell!

This team is playing with more effort on both ends of the floor tonight than I have seen in a while. We might not be very good anymore but at least we are fun to watch.
I came here to post that exact same thing. Also glad to see Boogie getting some minutes. He looks rusty & out of shape, but the effort level is there and he has 10 rebounds in the half to show for it.
Also Tate was a great pickup. He's going to be a contributor in the future.

Foul came after the buzzer it looks like to me.
Yep, confirmed. Rockets win!

Back to winning.
Ugly W but a W
Love how we moved the ball most of the night but it was rough watching EG try to play iso at the end. Hopefully that changes when we get Wall back next week.
Looks like Capela had a triple-double last night with blocks. Good for him, he seems to be playing well now that he has gotten healthy.

Honestly one guy I wish we could have kept. I understand he was outmatched against more physical centers, but I loved his athleticism, ability to run the floor, and be an above average defensive presence.
Kenyon Martin Jr with a couple of highlight reel blocks!
Who is this EG?
7nine
70 point 1st half
He's been reading Texags. Trying to prove the haters wrong. He's still making some dumb choices out there, but 5-6 from 3 is nice.Texaggie7nine said:

Boogie 17 & 15 in the half! Man he looks older than 30, but he's ballin.
Wood > Capela, and that's what we ended up flipping him for.WES2006AG said:

I really like all of these young players. Each of them has shown different forms of potential.

Dont let him play the 2nd half. Trade tomorrow. Sell high!
Refs are trash. Only find their whistles on one end
Boogie came to play tonight.
It's really refreshing to see a big get a rebound and bring it immediately up the court and seeing guys moving without the ball and stuff being run immediately as opposed to the big finding James, bringing up the court leisurely...dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble step-back 3
Yeah it's too bad that according to GinobiliSoup he's Untradable. He's got the metrics to prove it.
Because to a layperson like myself it seems like a lot of teams would be willing to eat his salary for a year and change to get him off the bench for the playoffs.

I love mason Jones. I don't think I've seen him miss a 3 this year and he always seems to make the most of every opportunity he gets on offense
back to back wins and blowing out an in state rival is the making of a good night.
You are obsessed with him by just mentioning his name
You are obsessed with me.
He's at least continuing a conversation.

Our backup center (Martin) is almost a foot shorter than their backup center (Boban) and we outrebounded them 52-36. That was a fun game.
I hope we lock up Brown and Jones to longer contracts soon. I think we have Tate and Martin on 3-year contracts. Those 4 guys could grow into legit NBA players. The scouting and development for the Rockets looks really great right now.

Gordon had a good game.
Gordon OVERALL is not even close to being an efficient player.
Both statements can be true. We don't have to do this thing every 1 game out of 10 that Gordon goes off.

I just want EG to string together some consistency so we can ship him out without attaching picks
For the record I don't even like Gordon, I want him traded before he goes on a cold streak...but OVERALL he's averaging 18 points on 45% shooting, 35% 3pt.HotardRat said:

We don't have to do anything, but having been on the wrong end of this scenario more often than not I think rubbing it in peoples faces when they're wrong is one of the best parts of Texags, don't you?
