Will play together on three different teams in three different countries... I wonder if they are sick of each other or its turned into an International bromance. Mobley/Francis could only dream of such stability.

I'm actually really **** excited, been watching portions of a few games and these guys along with Adrien are physical defenders. Dorsey literally looks like Dwight. Best part is Dorsey boxes out! Every **** time a shot goes up!


Dwight, Bev, Ariza, Dorsey, Adrien, Kostas. We got some defenders.


same here, exciting offseason and exciting season what more you can expect!?

Fact is that momentum in games is a real thing, while not tangible itself, you can tangibly see the effect it has when teams are on runs and how it can dramatically effect the outcome of games when you can generate any momentum.

We can be the Barcelona Rockets if we bring back Admiral Nachbar

The European "Dwight Howard"

http://www.myfoxhouston.com/story/26046 ... -of-europe

They call me Dwight Howard in Europe," Dorsey said in an interview with FOX 26 Sports. "That's all they call me Dwight Howard of Europe, 'you're Dwight Howard of Europe.'
"Playing behind Dwight is going to be an amazing feeling. He's one of the best defenders in the league. Coming from overseas and playing behind him, getting some pointers, we can be really good together.

All I remember during his time here was that he was extremely raw on offense (couldn't even make a jump hook in TRAINING), undisciplined on D, and generally just immature. Maybe that's changed since he's 30 now.

Dude looks slow as hell.

Seems like a signing just to cover Howard on defense, we'll have to see if this works out to be a good signing.
* Since 1985, Jeremy Lin became one of 15 players to have scored at least 20 points, seven assists and a steal for six games in a row, including 136 points in 5 starts beating out Iverson, Jordan and O'Neal :D

That's in the Euroleague where he's able to use his size and build better, plus he's 30 years old. Can he still accelerate down the court and pull off lobs?

Houston thinks this is the guy to defend LMA, we'll see.

I don't expect him to play like this in the NBA, but he should be a decent backup to Howard...and he is Howard's backup, so don't see him defending LMA.
