Official Houston Rockets 2013 Offseason Thread: Welcome D12 to Houston!

[markangelo]

same, was soo pumped...

 

[Peep Game]

What a game Really wanna see the other moves we make, and also see how everybody holds up. Harden working Ibaka and Lin's 2 threes near the end had me like View media item 279728
And Parsons running back onto the court in a mini-Paul Pierce moment, definitely helped on KD. Another win in the books, and hopefully we keep it up and other teams slide and fall off.

 

[markangelo]

 when harden let that thing go at the end of the 3rd, i had a feeling it was in.. when in went in I was like, "did this dude just did this?" lol

 

[durantula]

What pick did we get from the Suns for Morris?

I think a 2nd rounder. Loving the move for Robinson

 

[statis22]

Nice to see more Rockets fans posting, the team is definitely young & exciting. If only more than half the city could watch the team. (no need in even beating a dead horse)

Thomas Robinson should be a solid addition should he stick around.

 

[sofa king awsm]

Loving the move for Robinson

yup. T rob is gonna thrive.
kinda miss Tony Douglas tho :\

 

[mattut]

blackxme, it made me cringe to see him open too..:x  I thought durant was going to tie the game with that three, guess he still thought it was asg..

rather take your chances with him beating you wide open than KD or westbrook.


I really did like P Pat, I still think he's on the fence of becoming a more than role player.

 

[markangelo]

Guys were helping too much, stick to man to man defence..The beard left Thabo wide open a few times too lol

Thinking about Throb getting to work with Mchale just makes me 

Son is gonna develop fully and thoroughly, something he probably wouldn't have here in Sac, over in Houston with yall.

Enjoy him yall. I'll try to catch a game next time I'm in H-town visiting fam.... might swoop up his Kings jersey once its on sale and wear it to the Toyota Center 

 

[Humbled]

TRob gonna put in WORK with Harden and Lin. :x

 

[markangelo]

hopefully mchale can really mentor him...if he develops to 11/11/2 blocks it'd be huge

McHale/Hakeem should teach dude everything they know in the post. Could you imagine dude with a solid back to the basket game with that athleticism? :x

Paging SoleSearchin, Clutch, and WhatsLosinLike with his beta Kirko Bangz lookin ***

Why am I just now seeing this?

 

[Deleted member 38182]

I'm not kidding, I seriously think Houston is gonna squeeze out every ounce of potential out of him

 

[markangelo]

i really like robinson, he wont get solid minutes until maybe 3 weeks from now, but if he develops great offense he'll be 

.... kinda like a faried ibaka type

 

[Deleted member 38182]

^and unlike Ibaka/Faried, his offensive skillset is far more expansive already than theirs.... just not polished or developed fully.

Like he's got a decent face up game, he can help facilitate the fast breaks, decent court vision for a big man. Strangely enough, IMO his weakest part of his game is his post up 

 which as we've all agreed on, is gonna be much improved with Mchale and maybe Hakeem

I heard you're looking for a new team bro, I know we don't have Chase anymore but you should still join up. You been down for a minute.

Where's nicedudewithnicedreams?

 

[markangelo]

yea true...been impressed since he was in kansas, thought we were close to trading for that 5th pick..and now he's a rocket, funny how things work

 

[Deleted member 38182]

and all Morey had to give up was a million bucks and Patterson

Ehhhh I dunno.... I kinda wanna pick a team in Cali. I go to a few Clippers and W's games, one Lakers game already.... so it'll be nice to at least be a fan of a team I can watch in person. 

I probably only go to Houston once a year, and even then I don't know if that'll be during the NBA season 

I do love Chase tho 

 

[markangelo]

gonna miss his midrange game tho..

 

[blackxme]

rck2sactown let's get you a nice Omer Asik avy

 

[statis22]

If the Rox had gotten that 5th pick I'm pretty sure they would have drafted Drummond.

I think I actually remember hearing that....

 

[markangelo]

^oh yea, didnt they project robinson as going number 2 instead of mkg

 

[Deleted member 38182]

^oh yea, didnt they project robinson as going number 2 instead of mkg

ya the Bobcats were gonna go with either MKG or Throb. 

I guess the Kings' big board went:

Davis, Beal, MKG, Waiters, Throb, Lillard

I remember when the Kings sounded like they were real interested in Lillard at 5. I was so angry 

 

[statis22]

For the longest he was but you have to remember the roster after the season ended & before the draft. Robinson probably wasn't high on the Rox draft board seeing Scola wasn't amnestied yet and after the traded before the actual draft they literally had 0 centers on the roster.

Boy o boy did I rant about it.
