Jeff's first draft, had Clingan fall right into his lap. The circumstances couldn't have been a better match. BPA, clear skillset with elite shot blocking / rebounding (something we lacked) and adding to a C room that has the mostly injured Mark Williams (who we still don't truly know how good he can be even if he is healthy one day) and Nick Richards who still doesn't know how to set a screen.

If Saloon doesn't pop into a star, this will be Jeff's "Monk over Spida" or "DJ Augustine over Brook Lopez" moment.

I thought we had bad memories with falling knives?


Clingan also wasnt exactly injury proof in college.

70 games of 33 Nick Richards minutes! Yay?


LOLOLOL.. holy crap people act like him missing the first week of the season is the end of the world.

Can we romanticize it anymore? It is one freaking game


It was a two-week back injury, too. Don't make a freaking big deal out of it! He'll be back soon!

Martin gets the start in place of Josh Green, who the Hornets downgraded to OUT.

Mann glued to the bench.

If Ball, Miller, and Bridges are good enough as top 3 they should be able to compete with a .500 team with either Green/Mark or Martin/NicRic.

6th mann does not equal "glued to the bench"

I'm doing a free trial on Bally to watch tonight. I usually go the pie route but also hate listening to other teams announcers so may just bite the bullet and subscribe for the season.

I did the free trial on fubo tv. After the 7 days they want 79$ per month the first month and then 99 a month plus a 15$ regional sports fee per month and a 7$ some other fee per month for 122$ per month

Micic is a one man tank, we knew this and should have addressed it

So far Rockets are getting away with very physical defense on Miccic and Mann. We need to run them past a bunch of screens.

Im just gonna be real I don't like Micic. He was fun at first, but man he can hold on to the ball for too long. Often goes into hero ball mode like he's the 1st option.

Im gonna be nice and just hope we trade him.
