    Terrence Williams posted this earlier today about the Rockets player intro video.

    Here is my amateur filming of the revised version. There are several new highlights and different music (song changed to U2 - Desire). He's still in there, just not featured like before. T-Will's slam at the final kick of the video was replaced by one from Chandler Parsons.

    ... and here is the first one for comparison (thanks, batkins!). The song is Pearl Jam - Go.

    I don't want to make this a T-Hype bashing thread but T-Hype too worried about tweeter and things outside of his control. Maybe easier said than done but don't worry about it and not a big deal imo. Are Adrien and Thabeet upset too?

    He doesn't seem to be very happy on the court today either

    I like the Pearl Jam version than U2. If they're going to use U2, the obvious song is Elevation.

    Terrence needs to take a break from Twitter. It's doing nothing but getting himself in trouble.

    I updated the original post to include batkins' video that had the original version of the intro also. As far as the clips working with the music, I prefer the original one (Pearl Jam).

    seems very similar. Not a major edit as TWill says. He must be mad that he lost the last slam spot to Parsons. That was a nice slam by TWill.

    the one thing i look forward to every opening night is these videos, their video editing is some of the best I've seen period. But this year's was "meh" to me, I think CCR can do a better one that can persuade others to go to games.

    my all time favorite is still the one from our "mega" offseason in 07-08

    <object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3c49XFs2G3E?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3c49XFs2G3E?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

    btw, the first one is still the best of the 2 from the original post, even if its minor changes.

    ^^ yeah, that one was stunning. I love the Worrel and Harlan voice overs. The new one is too busy. I like the player profile shots followed of live footage with voice over history.

    But this team has no playoff history, so I guess they went with video editing flash cover-ups for lack of history...and the logo parade at the beginning and ending is sickening.

    It reeks of an intro for non-playoff teams. so sad.

    and of course the music in the 07-08 version was perfect. Wasn't that the first year they had the rocket shoot off with the smoke?

    I think it was the year before, 06-07. I remember they had it when we got the suite on 4/1/07 vs. the Jazz.

    That's a very good one. The playoff ones are my favorites though... especially 2009 (probably because I love epic music).

    2007 and 2008 were good too.
