Post#1 » by JetLife » Thu Jul 17, 2014 10:13 pm

Probably the 2nd best signing this off season after Trevor Ariza.

"Terrific Free Agent"!

I'd rather Canaan and Johnson get the minutes behind Beverley or trade for Andre Miller if you want a real veteran PG

Speaking of you, why didn't we sign Aaron Brooks instead?

It makes too much sense not to happen! AB would automatically be the 2nd best playmaker on the team, which says more of our roster than it does about AB.

It's always weird when people talk about themselves in third person. :)

Not as weird as when the queen schizophrenically refers to herself as "we", but still..

Aaron Brooks sees no problem with that.

All our signings are retro rockets. Ariza, Smith, Dorsey, Adrien, even Daniels.

If anyone wants to buy a Samuel Dalembert rockets T-shirt they still sell them just in case

So our bench is downgrading like hell:

2013-2014 bench
PG: Lin
SG: Daniels, Garcia, Hamilton, Lin
SF: Garcia, Hamilton, Casspi
PF: Dmo, Greg Smith
C: Asik

2014-2015 bench
PG: Smith
SG: Daniels, Johnson
SF: Gee
PF: Dmo, Adrein
C: Dorsey
* 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

i expect more wins in regular season cause we will be more cautious ...no more unexpected losses because of underestimating the opponents

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.

2014 Offseason Train Wreck continues

Let's hope the rest of the west has gotten worse as well.

it looks like Tmac is following in MJ's footsteps. "retiring' from basketball to play baseball and coming back. gonna look to 3peat again with the Rocket's... with first round exits.

either that or bringing back Stromile Swift (i still remember how excited i was for the signing... sigh)
