A big congratulations to Will Conroy, who picked up his first career NBA basket and first two points for the Rockets last night. Conroy also had an assist in 10 minutes of action.
This isn't his first assist or first rodeo in the NBA. Conroy's had one stint with the Memphis Grizzlies and two with the Los Angeles Clippers, and though he had other rebounds and assist, he hadn't yet sunk a basket. Perhaps getting that monkey off his back will help.
Conroy makes up part of that two-head all-Vipers point guard duo in Houston. Did you know Aaron Brooks leads the Rockets in scoring (19.1 ppg) and assists (5.0 apg)? He also leads the team in three-point field goal percentage (.392).

Vipers head coach Chris Finch picked up career win #400 on Friday and #401 on Sunday.
The Vipers are one win away from tying their best single-season wins mark of 21. There are 24 games left in the season. The Vipers are on pace to go 38-12, which would break the record for best record in league history, accomplished by the 2007-08 NBA Development League Champion Idaho Stampede (36-14). You know who played on that team? Vipers forward Ernest Scott, who tied his career high with six three-pointers last night.
The Vipers now have an all-time record of 62-64. The Vipers haven't been .500 since they were 9-9 and they haven't had a winning record since they were 9-8, way back in mid-December 2007.
And to clear up any confusion... I'm on pace to hit my 700th career broadcast on Saturday, February 20th when the Vipers host Maine at 8:00 p.m.
