    We basically called him the franchise savior, so if there is ever a player who could get a uniform change it is him. The the fact that Parsons mentioned in a tweet that he is "working on" getting new uni's is a clear sign that payers dont like the current ones and we might get new ones next year, or year after. This team is very young and stylish, and you know they cant like the terrible cut. With the Howard/Harden combo the Rockets are at a great point to move away from the Yao/China era uni and to a uni designed from much input from our young team that is full of style of the court!

    Just got back from the rally. Ridiculous that we waited over 2 hours in the hot sun and basically just got Dwight to say hello. No clue why it wasn't held inside.

    There you go, Harden & McHale turned Houston into an attractive destination for Dwight.

    Which is why I didn't go. Ron's was worth it though, inside with AC, and Ron is a fun character.

    No one forced these idiots to go. They knew it would be hot and that there would be waiting.

    BUT I'M A ROCKETS FAN!

    Just got back home from the rally. I had a really good time even with the crazy heat. The only thing that was a bit of a mess was the unveiling of the graphic on the side of the garage.

    You're making my point, it sounded ridiculous when he said it, and it sounds ridiculous now. Not being from Cleveland, but being from a suburb of Cleveland does not lower your loyalty to Cleveland. He just didn't want to admit that he always wanted to play with his buddies in Miami.

    The same reason we didn't get Josh $mith. Les does not want to foot the bill to clean up after 10,000 fans.

    Then why go? Everyone knew t would be outside and it would go on for well over an hour with that many fans (the reason it was being held outside).

    We got LeBron, Wade, and Bosh?

    Nobody forced them to go.
