    God made Houston miserable in the summer so he could attract Dwight Howard to the Rockets. All part of God's plan ;)

    Thing is, Dwight is never really gonna have to be in Houston for most of the summer (although lets hope he does play some June basketball here).

    Thing is, Dwight went to Colorado because he says he loves it there and it makes him feel great; and in this place he loves he finds a lot of people from Houston.

    So clearly he already, on some level, sees eye-to-eye with what many people in Houston value.

    Perhaps it seems on some level foolish. But I think it's telling of the type of life that Dwight wants to live and the type of people that he wants to be around, so I don't find it an absurd reason at all.

    In LA he believed in money, fame and his baby mammas.

    Yeah, so there is a ton of houstonians there as a general rule, it does not water down the notion that for him it was a sign. Regardless, he made the right decision and I'm excited about the season starting.

    Interesting religion that endorses frequenting scripp clubs and impregnating a bunch of chicks.

    What is wrong with spelling bees? Good for Dwight and Jeremy working on their vocabulary.

    Pretty sure Daryl Morey sent all those people to Colorado to give him business cards with Houston on it.

    ~lol~ nice first post after waiting for a year!!

    ~lol~ yea, didn't know Dwight is so religious!!

    OP: Much respect for Dwight's drive for championship, he got to the finals and didn't win, same with Harden.

    In terms of post moves, Clifford Ray and MDA can't be mentioned in the same sentence as Dream and McHale. We might see some improvements.

    Props to Dream for getting along with Dwight. It's also good luck that they have already established a good relationship before.

    Props to Les:

    Reading this made me so happy. haha.

    You can feel his passion and desire to win a championship.

    Its no longer, "let's just make the playoffs", nor "lets try get past the first round of the playoffs", the addition of Dwight is really going to change everything in Houston for the better.
