He's good.

Fair point.

He is the best quarterback in Houston pro sports.

So Tom Savage gets in a couple starts before his first playoff game. Come to think about it, that's who I will pull for in the AFC because I hate every other team in the playoffs, except the Dolphins.

Would you prefer a veteran coach, or a young coach with potential like Luke Walton?

I would suggest JVG, but he might have an aversion to young players, so probably not ideal.

I have no idea. Someone in the vein of Brad Stevens would be good. A coach with experience as a coach and with experience with young players.

What is sad is that despite Houston's rich basketball history, Savage is probably better known in this town than anyone on this Rockets team, including James Harden, because Houston is such a football-first town.

But thank you for the support!

Suns will start to play now that they're only down 30

If, for whatever reason, Dallas & Carlisle agree to mutually part ways then that would be the ideal guy for your team.

Chandler's effort to at least fake some rim protection has been laughable tonight.

Chriss just got beat by Ryan Anderson off the dribble. :/

I'd be real surprised if we get rid of Watson, but I'd probably go the college route. With what Dan Majerle has done at GCU and his connection to the team might be the best bet, just off the top of my head, if we did decide to go with someone new.

I'd be down with Carlisle

We need to trade Knight and Chandler ASAP.
They are under contract for the next few years,I would be happy trading them for an expiring and a late pick.

How about this one?

I would not trade Ulis. I like the other trades, but that involving Ulis no.

What a pass, Tucker.
Keep it up

Oh yeah, of course. Not sure why they would. I think he's the best coach in the league, or at worst, right there with Pop, Stevens and Kerr.

I think Majerle is pretty soured on the organization though, as most should be. Suns have just been making bad decision after bad decision.

OK, we've got it under 30. Time to make a super run!

Post #97 » by **Mr. E** » Tue Dec 27, 2016 2:43 am

It still blows my mind that Booker is only 20 years old. I had it in my head before our last game that he was at least 23-24.

DaleyBlind · Post #98 » by **DaleyBlind** » Tue Dec 27, 2016 2:43 am

Why is Tucker and Chandler even on the court......we are down bu 30+

DaleyBlind · Post #99 » by **DaleyBlind** » Tue Dec 27, 2016 2:44 am

Booker can not shoot
