Is he a-scared or what?

I guess they made arrangements for him to travel by bus. Now he's saying the Rockets aren't working with him regarding his "condition", yet he's absent and not showing up to anything.

I have a friend who went to ISU and is always sending me FB links of Royce White BS, so I read up on this story just to talk shit. :laugh:

That's his anxiety problem.

Yeah, and considering his legal issues before ending up at Iowa State I didn't find him to be a particularly sympathetic figure to begin with.

The Rockets took a gamble and tried to make him a millionaire, now he won't even show up and he refuses to meet with their therapist, and he's still trying to spin this as them not working with him? The Rockets don't owe him any special privileges. If he needs to find a job that doesn't require flying then he should quit, but he needs to get the hell off of his soap box. I'm fairly confident he was aware that playing in the NBA would require flying, but he still chose to enter the draft and sign the contract.

I don't think it's a stretch to say if they're healthy they have a fighter's chance of winning the West.

He said in an interview with ESPN that he would walk away from the game if it really came to it.

Royce White is a waste of talent, really thought the kid could have been a solid player

2 Notes from the Celtics game today... Rajon Rondo recorded 20 Assists in 32 minutes of action (2nd 20 Assist game of the season) extending his streak to 33-Straight games of 10 or more Assists, 13 shy of Magic Johnson's NBA Record... And Jared Sullinger got his 1st Career Double-Double w/ 12 Points 11 Rebounds in 26 minutes

I saw that he had flu-like symptoms and was a game-time decision.

Bynum has suffered another set back due to his BOWLING. I wish I was lying.

Thank you LA for trading him.

Hard to forget this quote by Mr. Royce White...

(...on Michael Kidd-Gilchrist)...“I don’t like that kid. He’s too hyped up. He’s not as good as they think he is. He’s a kid. I’m a man.”

The irony.

James Harden had 20 points and 7 assists last night. If you have to lie about a players stats then you're trying too hard
