who plays at westside tennis club ? ------------------ "Don't they get cable in Canada ?" Keith olbermann, after watching hakeem block terry catledge's shot 5 times.
Lately Houston has become a Mecca for basketball players during the offseason , Westside tennis club has made it easier for all this guys to come down here and stay in good shape during the offseason . Not only that I hear they like "banging" with some of the Commets ... what ever that means ------------------ It's all about marketing !
Westside is a bigger NBA place after the Comets season is over in August and September. Right now, Fonde is the spot. It has always been awesome there. I remember when Malone, Olajuwon and Murphy used to play pick up there. Awesome. The Houston Press once said about Fonde that it is the best basketball court in the city and "yes, players are scouted there and no, you can't play." ------------------ "No one gets out ALIVE!"

What is the current status of Cadillac and his legal troubles? Mango ------------------ Arch Stanton lives! Donate Blood!
What ever happened to Tim Moore? I thought he would be a Bo Outlaw or Darvin Ham type player, someone who would come in undrafted and just husstle his way on to the court. I watched one game where the guy had the greatest dunk I have ever seen. I think it was Goldwire who threw up a three from the corner and bricked it and Tim cut through the lane and jumped too early, but he brought his hand back behind his @$$ and just threw it down. It was simply amazing that one dunk was better than anything MJ 'Nique or Clyde threw down in there careers and thats a big statement, but a dunk does not make a career so.... ------------------ "We need to fockass".....Dream back in the day
am gonna sound stupid but where exactly is Fonde ? is it in the UH campus ? ------------------ It's all about marketing !
To answer the question regarding Cadillac, I got a chance to talk to him today and he says he is clear of everything and ready to make a run in the NBA next season. He looked out of shape but very active for a man his size, he stated that he was on a water & fruit only diet to lose 20 - 25 pounds before training camp. A great guy who has made some dumb decisions in his life but looking to get back on track. ------------------

Jerry, What are Cadillac's chances of making a NBA roster next season? Mango ------------------ Live long and prosper. Donate Blood!
Mango: 0 he barely stayed with the Hawks his last year if I remember correctly and that was a few years ago. I always liked the guy but the likelyhood of him making it back when his frat bothers are retiring after long and illustrious carreers is just too small. ------------------ "We need to fockass".....Dream back in the day
Scarface, You are probably right. Is he about 35 - 36 yars old? Mango ------------------ Live long and prosper. Donate Blood!
