    A bad attitude is a defeatist one. Cousins has a winning attitude. He wants to fight. This is my ally, as long as I turn him toward you and not me.

    As Lyndon Johnson said about J. Edgar Hoover, "I'd rather have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in."

    Joel Przybilla was fun to watch.

    51% true shooting as a center. We already have an offensively inept center. Pass

    The numbers say otherwise, but defensive numbers are always weird. Most Houston fans seem to think very little of his defense and his mobility. As well as quite a few comments I've seen on twitter after his release talking about how he's just a name at this point.
    Yes he shoots 3s, but at 33%. And he's under 50% at the rim. If he's just a crappy 3 point shooter with nothing offered at the rim, I think we're better off with Covington getting minutes at backup 5, honestly.

    skewed by a slow start. He’s picked it up this month.

    I drove Naito today. It’s totally tore up (due to construction projects). Waterfront park was hopping with homeless people (people who were without their houses for the moment because they left them at home while enjoying walking and frolicking on the waterfront).

    FAMS!

    Career 54% on high usage. Dude needs touches. It’s gonna be another Melo situation. For someone in his role, we need guys that do the small stuff, not just show up on the box score.

    I mean, there are certainly more homeless folks at the moment. For sure. But it ain’t a city in fire. No more than any other metro area dealing with declining occupancy in commercial spaces (which is pretty much every metro area in the country).

    Weird to have conflicting reports:

    [​IMG]
    The Houston Rockets have guaranteed the contract of DeMarcus Cousins for the remainder of the season.

    Cousins is on a $2.3 million non-guaranteed contract.

    Teams have until February 27th to make decisions on non-guaranteed deals.

    Not conflicting. They guaranteed him yesterday. Now moving on, either waive or trade. I think yesterday was a move made as a respectful gesture to a veteran. We'll guarantee your deal, but we want to move on.

    They have been open lately for a few hours at a time. Very strange. Must be doing that to keep their business license going. But you will see the OPEN sign and it's packed, then it's shut a couple hours later! Damn their food is good too.
