    Watching the Rockets play. Kostas Papanikolaou may already be better than T-Rob. He will almost certainly be much more important to his team this season. Bah humbug.

    When we got his rights in the Felton deal I checked him out and he can hoop! TRob will develop an impact player with more court time.

    You guys are kidding yourselves. If you don't recognize you will end up being as surprised as the opposing scouts when the Blazers decide it's time to release the kraken.

    You don't have a negative turnaround that quickly, and if he did then there isn't much hope for his future in the NBA.

    T-Rob is at least as much of a beast as he was last year, I think his mid range game is what he has improved the most. Will end up turning heads with his floor spacing potential...

    2-10 from the field, 0-5 from downtown, 5 fouls, 2 turnovers in 22.5 minutes. Yup, that's really helping the Rockets out.

    TRob is going to be great and he's faced true NBA competition. Kostas is basically a rookie who will take a year at least to adapt to the speed of the game.

    If he ever does. I'll take the proven over the unproven in this one.

    The Blazer got a steal trading Felton for Kostas and the rights to Kostas for TRob. It was a no brainer.

    Rudy Gobert goes for 11 points, 2 steals and _20_ rebounds in about 24 mins. And the Jazz do to the Clippers what they did to us. Champs of preseason! Is there a single truly bad team in the West?

    Anyone else feel like preseason is way too long?

    They should have the games all year long. The players get 2 vacation days per week, when they're not playing. It would add up to the same amount of total vacation. Bonus: they wouldn't have time to get fat, and they'd be super-rested for each game.

    Year-round basketball (i.e., August 1 through June 30 with a month for draft and training camp) would be fun. You'd play five games every two weeks (basically two days off every time).

    Not a bad idea to make it 11 min quarters. I like how progressive Silver apparently is
