Are they written down in crayon and surrounded by stick figure drawings, perchance?

i didnt want to be a dbag troll , the david kahn reference was good.... but darko isnt better than brad miller, i didnt realize i was lookin at millers playoff stats, my fault. but

flynn~~lowry ~ ~ beasley battier ~ ~ webster budinger
13.5 ~ ~9.1 ~ ~ ~ 14.8 ~ ~ 8 ~ ~ ~ ~ 9.4 ~ ~ 8.9 ~ pts
2.4 ~ ~3.6 ~ ~ ~ 6.4 ~ ~ 4.7 ~ ~ ~ ~ 3.3 ~ ~ 3.0 ~ rbnds
4.4 ~ ~4.5 ~ ~ ~ 1.3 ~ ~ 2.4 ~ ~ ~ ~ .8 ~ ~ 1.2 ~ assists

i think theyre all argueable..... im just the contradictor..... i suppose being the rebuttle to the houston fan is bein a troll? so my bad



Flynn put up those numbers as a starter; Lowry as a bench player.
Beasley may have had better numbers, but ask ANY GM who's the better defender or who has better intangibles. Guess what: they'll say Battier, 30 times out of 30.
Webster-Budinger? Again, Webster was a starter most of the year, Budinger was a rookie off the bench.

Long story short: the three guys you listed underachieved; ours have a history of overachieving.

Of course, problem with Beasley is unless he starts putting up 30/15 seasons, anything he does will be an underachievement.


i was responding to someone who said that the rockets bench was better than the wolves starters..... and yeah obviously all gms are going to say battier plays better d. but ask them who has a better shot and higher ceiling, 30 outta 30

Wiretap report that Kahn is looking to trade one of his PG's.

I'd go see if there was more info on clutch; but I don't know if I could handle the explosion in Rubio Manlove over there! :lol:

Didn't take you as a troll, but stats other than those 3 are important, too.

Percentages, possessions, usage, etc, all matter.

Q:How are they experts when they're always wrong?

Comparing bench players to starters does not equal to comparing bench minutes to starter minutes. Give Houston's bench Johnny Flynn minutes and easily better.

Looking forward to the Rockets this year. I'm a diehard Sonics fan, but since they moved I've been without a team. I don't know what it is about the Rockets, but I've really grown to like them the past couple years. Maybe partially because Aaron Brooks is from Seattle, Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger, and Trevor Ariza all originate from the Pac-10. Every year they battle injuries but find a way to be a tough and competitive team. This year I'm hoping the stars align and they finally have everyone healthy. If that happens I think they are arguably the 2nd best team in the West and give the Lakers a run for the money. I'll be watching through NBA League Pass and I'm expecting big things - don't let me down :)

Return to Houston Rockets
