    Likely one of the Oversea legends that never got to play on NBA turf.

    Probably do not listen to them when they talk something they are no expert of.

    Question: Do the Rockets just have a good locker room environment? That translates to the floor?

    Rivers couldn't have asked for a better beginning to his Rockets tenure. I'm man enough to say, "I was wrong. Baby, just get back in the car!" Sorry, that last part was a force of habit.
    If he continues to play hard on both ends of the court, and being complimentary of the organization and his teammates, I could possibly see myself becoming a *gulp* fan?

    Rivers is playing for a contract, so it's really a perfect storm for the Rockets. We need a productive role player and he needs to be productive so he can get paid next year. Win win for everybody. If he kicks ass, we will likely lose him this summer so Mike better suck every minute he can out of Austin.

    Basically makes up for the MCW failure. This was the role MCW was supposed to play

    I think that was a fair assessment in okc but you can see the difference in his pics. He was a puppy. HE A DOG NOW Lololol 240 would be my guess as well. I played with a friend who body builds, he is 6’2” maybe 250 at his heaviest but a decent reference for size. The heaviest I played was like 205, I gotta tell you, it’s hard to check a 250 lber who reeeally wants a layup. He was lefty too which was weird. You pretty much just gotta foul em......

    Rivers off the bench is a godsend. Imagine if we had pulled the trigger before cp pulled his hammy!

    Yeeep. Now we can package MCW, Melo, Chriss, and Knight and try to get a legit 3&D wing or PF to put us back on track.

    Hell naw. Ego still has a beatiful stroke. When he gets hot (like playoffs last year) he gets really hot.

    Rivers is exciting now but man that rainbow shot is ugly imo.

    Still can’t believe Morey said he was most excited about the MCW signing at that private event I attended where he was the keynote speaker.

    I love it how Clutchfans believes that our trash can be packaged into a productive player lol. You best believe we will probably get a shitty role player out of any of those guys. Amirite @J.R.

    He's probably hovering around 260-270 during the offseason.

    Morey rolls a lot of dice. Last season, the early signings came up big, but late signings didn’t. This season, the early signings were disappointing. But if you keep rolling, you eventually get some guys who fit. House could be one, Rivers another.
