I like Chandler Parsons. Even though he missed the shot that would have put us up 1, the defense was sound and he was the only one that cared to rebound. Even though Parsons isnt as gifted athletically and doesn't have the scoring prowess of Bud, I would rather have him start. He has a higher motor than Bud; he actually looks and acts like he gives a damn about basketball and sometimes hustle beats out talent. Plus, it looks like Bud is better as the first scoring option off the bench. It will be interesting who McHale gives the nod to start on Tuesday and if it is Parsons will it light a fire under Buds ass. For the record I don't expect it too.



As for the game, for the first time in a long time, I don't care about the out come anymore.

Our second team lead by Fynn, Bud, and Hill gave up that 12 point lead pretty quickly. Hill getting eviscerated by the walking dead and Bud being undressed by Mr. T is disappointing. Hard to believe Chandler has more lateral quickness than Bud, but that seems to be the case.

Parson played very well for you guys. He played on both ends of the floor and played hard. How big is he ? I was disappointed by Martin late game, he should be able to get open late game, but 2 plays where he couldn't get around defensive player to get the ball even with screens set up for him and he just didn't want to be in the play that was drew up for him.

Even though Parsons missed that shot, you want to see that, he took the smart and open shot.

Tiger, Sherman, T-34, Abrahams, It's all good.

It is going to be really hard to not watch Rockets Basketball this year. I think I will only watch when we win a game, so I can figure out how we didn't lose it.

I have never been a fan of sucking, but with no "Supersters" apparently interested in coming to Houston, the only way we will get one is through the draft.

Here's to sucking. We are going to give Cleveland and Washington a run for their money!

Parsons is 6'9" and from what I've seen can guard 3s and 4s.

sweet Jesus Budinger was a -17 while Parsons was a +14

Parsons the "Poor man's black AK47" looks to be about an inch taller than Patterson(6'9)...

I'd say he is 6'10

Patterson 6'8" w/o shoes 6'9.25" w/ shoes
Parsons 6'8.75 w/o shoes 6'9.75" w/ shoes
but Patterson's arm still 2x Parsons

[YoungMoney23]

Parsons looks like Battier without the 3 point stroke

I watched the end of your game and I have two questions....maybe threee.

WTF is Goran Dragic doing? What play is McHale calling? And WTF didn't Kevin Martin and or Chase Budinger get the last shots of that game?

What is McHale and Goran trying to prove!? Bonehead coaches in this league thinking they are smarter then they are.

Get the ball to Martin. You tried to trade him earlier and I am sure he is not fully over that, and then you go and freeze him out...twice on two straight possessions. I saw him roll his eyes when they called timeout and he came back to the huddle...I thought to myself, what the hell?

The game is a simple one....get your best players the damn ball with the game on the line and get he hell out of the way! In this case it was Kevin Martin. Don't get cute...

Look, I couldn't care less either way I should mind my own business in the first place with my 2-5 team (Bucks) who have enough issues of our own....

But I could not resist when on the last two possessions Goran did not even look to Martin who is a great clutch shooter and is one of the best guys at drawing a foul and getting to the line with a 3pt or 4pt play!

That was utter stupidity by McHale and Goran I would have been livid if I was a Rockets fans. Oh well and where was Chase? is he hurt? And why is a rookie Chandler Parsons was it, or even Scola in the game when you needed a 3 to tie???

Unreal...not yet ready for prime time players I say...neither of us (Rockets or Bucks)

[Zubby]

^^ Your answer Bucks fan can be found in the previous pages.
Martin did not want the ball both plays were designed for him to come off a screen and receive the ball, he just didn't want it.

Parsons completely outplayed Budinger and if he played more of Bud's minutes along with Scola we would not have lost our 12pt lead in the 1st place.

[rocketsballin]

martin is infamous for hiding in the corner at crunch time. he has had a few times where he's actually productive in the clutch. but since he's not that good at creating his own shot, he just stands at 3pt corner

Or behind Scola which was what happened last night

[zapatasblood]

This is BEAUTIFUL!!!

By Foster doing this long loved Houston post move makes me want them to bring back Foster even more.
