  1. This one is ahead of Luka because Shai has actually won a title, something Luka will likely never accomplish.
  2. Beard would have done nothing with them because he never would have acquired them.
  3. Rick Barnes:UNC::Duke:Rick Barnes
  4. I don't think the next 9 months define anything about Dana Brown. He is in a difficult position of having to lie to the media all the time, because that is what his boss wants while having to deal with the boss's constant meddling in personnel decisions with his cabal of HOF players that know shit about fuck about putting a winning team on the field. I have been advocating trading Pena and Alvarez because there is no money to make a real addition to the roster because Crane has pissed that away to shitty players time and time again. This team is about 2 years away from being a complete dumpster fire like when Crane bought the team. You can course correct and try to avoid that fire, or you can steer straight into it, too many fans appear to want to go back to the 2008-2010 version of the Astros, except MLB has changed the rules to try to negate multiple seasons of tanking. People keep saying Alvarez is a MVP level bat, but he's never put it together and is now 29 years old. He's never hit 40 HRs, and he has driven in 100 once in his career. I'd sell high on Pena especially in this shitty offseason for SSs.
  5. I'd trade Pena and Alvarez. It's foolish to think they you are winning anything with this roster as currently constructed. Altuve needs to be the full time DH, and that only happens if Alvarez is gone.
  6. How was that not an and 1 for Swain? The defender clearly made contact with his lower arm.
  7. He's a career .344 BTA and the last 3 seasons before this one .373, .379, .417, now you do have a point with his less than 2.0 attempts per game.
  8. Everything hinges on health for an organization that has a shitty track record with health. Altuve, Alvarez, Paredes, Correa, Pena that's 5 of your top hitters right there that all have or had health concerns. Asking for all those guys to stay completely healthy for the same season seems to be a fool's errand.
  9. Sampson was never the same after the knee injury against the Celtics in the 86 finals.
  10. I hope Wemby flops, fuck him and his shitty grin when the Rockets lost the lottery that year.
  11. Oh, he's doing a Bryan Harsin.
  12. We need to get a true PG in the portal, but the best thing about this class is it is bring tall wing shooters into the program. Our shooting so far this season has been average.
  13. I think we should consider the idea of trading Pena, and move Correa back to SS for the next 3 years. Pena would likely get a haul in return, and it would clear up the logjam we have in the infield. I would also consider trading Alvarez, because he would also return a lot and he can't stay healthy. I would also tried to trade Walker and move Smith back to his natural position of 3B. Paredes was decent there, but his athletic profile is more of a 1B.
  14. We lost that game because of shitty FT shooting.
  15. I am perfectly fine with that outcome as well. His approach to this season is grounds for termination.
  16. Sarkisian needs to make hard and difficult decisions this offseason. 1. Fire his remaining original offensive assistants Flood, Banks, and Milwee provide little to support a championship level of play. 2. Find out if his current defensive staff is able to build 3 levels that can be play consistently on the same page. 3. Throw his gold digging wife out the house and concentrate on Texas football Failure to do all 3 and his going to get fired unless he finds a soft landing somewhere else.
  17. Yeah, our DL is going to feast against the aggy OL.
  18. Didn't want to trigger anyone. Hahaha. great catch, unlike Craver.
  19. fuck, that might have been the nail in the coffin with they make that INT and score another TD.
  20. This is hot knive through butter right now.
  21. They are doing it again.
  22. Their ability to keep people healthy is below our pathetic level of incompetence.
  23. So we can add another thing to the list of certainties in life. Death, Taxes, and Reed Sheppard.
  24. That is correct because his natural shooting ability is elite elite.
  25. I think Sheppard's ceiling is 6MOY. I just think his size and man defensive limitations will keep from being a 75 game starter, but he can cook other teams from off the bench and close games in super shooting rotations. Him and Eason off the bench are a clear advantage for the Rockets. Just so many different ways to play our current rotation.
