Brewer gives them added D in boatloads, especially on the perimeter. His weakness is that his shot is on or very off. But Houston has plenty of offense, so any scoring they get from him is gravy.

Houston has actually been very good defensively this season.

Brewer's D is a little overrated.

Overall maybe a little overrated but he is a pesky defender, active and runs a lot of fastbreaks, can finish pretty well. Has reputation as a shooter but could be more prolific/reliable. Covers a need for the Rockets as backup SF so the move itself makes a lot of sense for them. Also basically inexpensive as expiring contract and assets wise (two 2nsRs and 3pt specialist Troy Daniels).

The Raptors' new logo. I like it.

I wish they would keep their current colors rather than going with black.

Danny Green is pretty good at basketball. Lets see if the Blazers can answer with just 5 seconds left.

Green is one of the most spectacular players in his own way, akin to the likes of Korver.
And that Raptors logo is sick.

Most of it seems a little bit far fetched or "manufactured" (if one can say so) but nevertheless I thought it was nicely done.

It just seems strange to watch a 'what if' discussion about the Lakers. As a Suns fan, my memory is just full of such questions about what could have fallen differently to get us just ONE ring.

Oh please don't make me think about that. We are getting close to Christmas and I try to have good vibes and thoughts at least around this time of the year ...
