    I'd like that Barry one, or the next one with a number of rox in it as my wallpaper!

    Those look great. I can't wait. What sucks though is COX media not picking up FSSW games. :mad:

    What an interesting generalization.

    Anyways, the last pic is weird because Yao isn't fully hugging Tmac. It's like he's about to hug but he leaves space between them. Very awkward.

    Much much better than "Be Big." Love the slogan and love the pics.

    Yaomania- what exactly do you do w/ the Rockets? I understand if you can't tell me though. But I'm a graduating Senior from UT w/ a Sport Management Major. I must fulfill an internship and I am really interested in joining the Rockets to do so. I'm open for anything so if you have any suggestions, it would be most helpful.

    Or maybe that's just the angle. They do that all the time just before tipoff. It's a short hug where they tap each other quickly on the back with their arms.

    OR Yao is roughly 9" taller than Tracy and that's just how it looks when he hugs him without making too much of an effort to bend down. Same as if I were trying to hug a female friend who's about 5'0". Unless I was trying to get with the girl on an intimate level, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to bend down that far.

    Thank you Yaomania.
    We were hoping for the look of the billboards to be a surprise, something to generate some hype for an already exciting season.

    Well, also his hand isn't even touching tmac. His shoulders are leaned in but his hips are out. Anyways, to me, it looks awkward.

    This ad is great! It shows what the team has been emphasizing this whole off season. They have left what wasnt broken alone and added where it was necesary without compromising what was good about the team. GO ROX!!
