    There hasn't been much talk about him lately so im wondering if anyone is actually gonna miss him. (Emphatic dunking, couple of games where he helps the team and scores) There were times when Stro made me wanna kill someone, yet there were times when he would make me jump on the couch and start yelling. We don't really have a guy like that on our team (Snyder? Ok he had one good dunk). Im gonna miss him because there were times when i was glad he was on our team.

    Yes. I would've loved to see what he could do if Yao and Tracy were actually healthy enough to play alongside him.

    I'm a fan of Stro and I'm not one to point fingers, but I hold JVG at fault for not involving him in the offense enough last season. It reminded me of how Yao struggled to get the ball early in his career as Franchise and Cat would dribble around and try to do their own thing. It happened too frequently when he was on the floor and Yao was on the bench. Kind of like when the Yao's away, the Rafer will play. And JVG didn't do anything to direct the ball inside the way that the offense was supposed to run.

    Just watching those video streams that people have been putting up lately, it's amazing because Stro's plays are pretty incredible, and I will definitely miss them. His athleticism and explosiveness is also something we will sorely miss when we try to match up with teams like Dallas and Phoenix.

    Also, he seemed like a nice guy. Kind of spacey, but nice. I feel bad for him.

    I will miss watching other teams fours blow by him. I will miss the way he would grab that player and commit a lazy foul and then act like the ref is to blame. I shed a tear for you Stro enjoy Memphis.

    So to answer your question NO !!!

    The Rockets will miss him. They still don't have a back up for Ming besides Mutombo who is 80 yrs old. Not to mention they don't have a real PF besides JHo. That's why I can't believe they just through him into the deal with gay. :confused: :confused:

    Is it possible that the average IQ of our team went up quite a bit when we traded Stro for Battier (can't tell about Gay)?

    Eh. I'm apart of that Rockets group, I have another clip, instead its Kings-Rockets, when Swift was playing with Tracy and Yao and that's IMO, our ideal game. And the reason we brought Swift in ..to play WITH Tracy and Yao.

    I'm going to upload it very soon.

    Nope.

    I was excited when he first got here, but he was a lot of hype.
