Its wild thst they got Jimmy for so cheap. That no other contender was willing to give a lil more to bring him in for a run.

I do like the vets HOU brought in the mix with the young core. Guys like Brooks, FVV, and Adams should help settle some of the nerves from the young guys

HOU needs someone else on offense to step up. Green 1-7, FVV 2-8, Brooks 5 points, etc

I think the Heat would've preferred Mikal to Wiggins

We shoulda pounced

With Jimmy, we would have a chance vs C's

Idk if the math maths but you're right. We would be kicking it at a parade if we had Jimmy instead of mikal.

Jimmy needed an extension so he had a measure of control in where he went, which is why he ended up in GS. He was not about to reunite with KAT and Tom, that is a dog that don't hunt.

The intensity that used to come with the playoffs seems to no longer be detectable let alone very obvious as it was

They feel exactly like regular season

If he had been traded to us, he would have squeezed the last of his juice, he'd have no choice anyways if he wants to win a title with the little window he has left.

KAT has matured since their Wolves days, and Jimmy just wants to win a title. He now got a pretty legitimate team in the Warriors to actually realize it, but with JB, KAT, OG, Josh... we'd have been deadly. Man Jimmy and OG would have been the true Wingstop

He averaged 34 ppg in 2 games prior to tonight, 21-4 record since he got traded there. He'd have been a dog that hunts all right

He was not coming here, he made it pretty clear he only wanted Phoenix or GS, the guy is clearly done with cold weather cities :lol:


Nobody is trading assets for players that aren't giving assurances, especially not a player that has left several teams in the past.

As a young team the Rockets showing a lot of heart to battle back, their defense has held up like crazy, their offense is horrible though.
