    Wish RA could find some time to give him on court, but I understand that we're making a playoff push here. It's best for both him and the Rockets.

    This is what you get for yelling at random woman who took your picture without permission.

    We should send TWill out there.

    RGV trying to make a playoff run.

    they can be like Kareem Abdul Jabbar+Oscar Robertson there.

    Good, this guy needs to get his tall ass on the court and get some work in. He's not going to touch the court in a Rockets uniform this season anyway. Hopefully he'll work on some new moves, learn to play better defense and use his body to rebound better. This guy needs to work with our big's coaches and develop something over the summer so that he can find some minutes next season.

    RVG has been good for our players. Look what it did for Brooks, Patterson, Budinger, Landry, etc. Shannon Brown was also part of the RVG and he's turned out pretty well too.

    [rquoter] “He’s going to get 20 minutes because of who he is. He has to earn everything else after that. That’s our arrangement with the Rockets, and they’re on board with that.”

    Thabeet said Sunday that he’ll be with the Vipers for four games and looks at the assignment not as a demotion but as an opportunity to play and prove that he is an NBA player. He knows the role he’ll have to play to intrigue the Rockets for the future and, quite simply, get his career on track.

    “Just block shots, rebound the ball and be a presence defensively,” Thabeet said. “They didn’t send me out here to score 50 (points) or break records. Just to come over and just play well.”[/rquoter]

    The good thing is that our Dleague actually does develop players. He can work on learning this offense. Enjoy taco palenque while you're there, mr thabeet.

    Budinger never went. Taylor and Ish also went down there and it seemed to help their games. Let's hope it works out with Thabeet.

    My fault, I thought he did. I got him confused with Taylor and the others. Ishmael Smith was also there for a while, it helped him out.

    I wonder if we can send Yao Ming over there while he rehabs and works his way back into game shape next season? :grin:
