Things we’ve learned:
- Beast is beasting
- Simmons’ nick name is Booby
- Peanut’s shooting mechanic has improved
- spursfan87 thinks there should be fragrant fouls

Yes, there should definitely be fragrant fouls to go along with the new technical calls. Sometimes, there’s nothing worse than a bad case of B.O.

seriously another five minutes would be good for these rookies. its not like we had the starters out there. it probably would be worse off for the rockets who actually did have their rotation players out there.
