www.clutchfans.net Houston Rockets forward Chase Budinger scores a career high 30 points to go with 8 rebounds in Houston's 124-119 road win over the Cavaliers on 2/23/2011
That’s Matt Bullard he played in Houston and was the backup center behind Hakeem for 11 years. He’s doing all kinds of positions related Houston games for years now.
I'm just saying that at some point Haslem is making his shots, hustles, defensive stops when necessary. Especially if things aren't working for Dwyane and Lebron. That's why I put him on that level. Nonetheless, whatever you say I respect that.
@556Bmoney Yeah the trade seems bad but both Shane and Aaron would more than likely have left us in free agency at the end of the year so we got what we could for them which is better than nothing. Shame though cuz I loved Battier as a Rocket.
@CannedKoolaid I agree with you that we could have gotten someone better but you have to understand that Brooks basically killed his trade value with his less than stellar play this season; not to mention that whole walking out on the team during the game against Memphis thing. Personally i'm ok with getting Dragic ( Not to mention another 1st round pick.), last year he showed spurts of tremendous talent while Phoenix was in the Playoffs including an impressive performance against the Spurs.
He fell into the 2nd round because he cant play D really and his outside shot is iffy. Some games like this he drains 3s no problem but most games Chase struggles behind the 3 point line, he is a good shooter but inconsistent. Very athletic with tremendous hops but still needs to work on his 3 shot and Defense before he gets the real recognition as a star which he is.
@SharkOoOo Your right on them being basically the same but Dragic's bit of extra height is always helpful especially on the Rockets and he seems like he has a bit more upside to him as a young player. Still shame we lost three good players in the trades, plus jefferies to the knicks.
