    Jordan Hill has not played enough games for us to draw that conclusion. And besides, work ethic can always be worked on, but height can't.

    No, some people are just satisfied with 100% effort, some people wants more(just like landry),

    work ethic is not something you can measure statistically that's why it's not always teachable....

    Hill admits that Landry moved ahead of him in the rotation, due to his work ethic and dedication.

    who cares? why are you dogging on Hill, he's playing well, are you having problems at home? Did a man with dreadlocks take your money when you were a kid or something? Are you really scared of the Predator movies? Do all 6 feet 10 inches of Jordan Hill make you feel inadequate?

    Nope. That's his brother. The same work ethic is in both players. Come early, leave late. It's a big surprise for Hill to see that.

    When guys are saying they don't want to give up Hill for Bosh, tell me who is crazy? Folks are fooling themselves, when they are begging Morey should stick with Hill to win a ring.

    The Rockets have a lot of players that have great work ethic. Mabye those players will rub off on Hill and teach him how to be a professional.

    Well, here's an idea: forget Bosh, go after a SF. We look pretty good at 1-2 and 4-5 (if Hill is for real!).

    Shawn Marion? Iguodala? Josh Smith? Whoever, I don't know. But, if Hill is the real thing, we have Yao, Hill, Scola, Jeffries, Hayes at 4-5, plus AB, Lowry, Martin, Budinger at the smaller positions. What would these players look like if you added Shawn Marion?

    Apparently a first time poster Kaizoku, whom I think is definitely someone on this forum, added Clutch's Hill video of tonight's game in that thread, rofl.

    Marion's 11.8 pts is going to do much for the Rockets in the playoffs.

    Rockets need an elite big to compete against the large lineups like the Lakers, Mavericks, Nuggets, Spurs, and Jazz.

    I thought about that. First, it doesn't have to be Marion; that was just a suggestion. However, chew on this quote from Tuesday:

    "It's a big surprise. But Marcus works hard in practice. He comes early and leaves late."

    How does that translate into Hill admitting that Landry works harder than him.

    That's clearly a complement. A "He deserves the time he gets." type of thing. Because one thing is Hill has not been knocked during draft time because of hard work. It is his hard work that got him this far in the first place.

    To say that someone works harder than you is not the same as saying that you don't work hard.

    hill needs to soak up as much as he can... i would love for the dream to take hill under his wing.

    hill probably is closer to hakeem's agility than yao... maybe hakeem could spend some time in the summer with him?? that would be awesome.
