    Country, freedom, and democracy always come first before team.

    I do not like the word "Red" here, it could associate with different meanings. I prefer to use "Green" if the color has to be chosen.

    Slogan doesn't work for me.

    Sounds like they're biting 300 and the Red Sox.

    I don't get too excited about slogans. It's what you do that counts. But...

    ... if this is the one the Rockets like, I'd always pair it with the picture of Battier from the Laker's series with blood running down his face. It's not a cheery sight but it may give the most inspirational meaning to the phrase.

    Was just at the Lunch in downtown with Morey, Ariza, David Anderson, Bull, Bill Worrell... etc etc

    I was told that the Alternate Uniform is the 1994-95 Road Uni with HOUSTON across the front. I like it, but I loved that Home Uniform from those great years more.

    -Saad-

    PS Will try and link (can't post) pictures with the players/Morey later tonight.

    At least they'll have those games on national TV in China.

    Given the present political climate, this is an especially poor choice. I think I know where or who it came from.

    Communism is bad because history tells us its bad and the government does their best to impose their will that communism is "evil". It's just another economic/political system that some other countries choose to use. Demanding that communism be stopped is ironic since we are the country that lets everyone do their own thing, yet when some country chooses to be a communist country... :confused:

    Politics... its what prevents world peace.

    Not that I disagree with what you're saying, but let's not start a debate over communism in the GARM.
