    Probably hoping he won’t have to play 35 minutes a night now.

    People read this post and learn. Harden is next with hammy issues if he doesn’t get any rest.Lofs crying for Lin who is more injury prone than CP3 ! Stop crying and swallow your pride Rivers is better than any other backup pg the roxs have.

    One thing's for sure. We'll put his smug face pic in the 'Forgotten role player' thread.

    Exactly. The goal is to be healthy for the playoffs. CP3 needs limits on his playing time and no back to backs. Period. I don't care what the circumstances are.

    Dude... they NEVER liked Knight. He has been a walking contract since day 1.

    We're mediocre. Most mediocre teams are not hated.

    We will likely see him play much better all of a sudden as well. He fits the Rockets system and will be rejuvenated as well.

    The Rockets has to make this move, the bench is just not NBA quality.

    This. While Chris Paul is an all time great... he is the type of guy you HATE when he is on the other team. He is like a mixture of Gary Payton and John Stockton.

    Glenn sent his son over to "poison" the Rockets locker room & cause trouble! Rockets unfortunately fell for the trap.

    7th seed and we still have our weight from last year, not to mention James Harden and Chris Paul are two of the most disliked players, not even kidding it's like 1 and 2.

    What on earth does that even mean?

    Look, I don't need to pretend to talk to an NBA player every day to tell you that Morey asked each and every single player of importance on this team whether they'd be opposed to signing Austin Rivers.

    The fact that he's signed, means they've moved past it.

    Trev isn't on this team, who cares what he would or would not do.

    All I know is that it is impossible to be worse than the hot garbage they have on the bench now.

    WTF. Doesn’t get any worst than this. Horrid signing. Austin is a d-league player. Considering Austin having a history with Paul, why do this?!?

    Durant is more disliked than CP3 for sure.

    To steal a quote from Harry Doyle in Major League 2 and apply it here:

    You know I used to hate Rivers when he was with the Clippers. It's amazing how a new uniform can change your attitude about a guy.
    [covers Mic]
    He's still a dick.


    Hope it works out.

    I imagine he's gonna play the OKC game, well what the hell, let's see what's up. I don't want him playing with Gordon at all. Buuut if this works this could really work. Austin's isolation numbers from last year were actually good.
