    ESPN and TNT games are looking much more likely as well.

    I hope you're able to find a mini DHoward Rocket's jersey by the time the little one arrives, he/she is gonna need it!

    Tom Haberstroh @tomhaberstroh now
    This time last year the Rockets' best player was either Kyle Lowry or Kevin Martin. What a turnaround.

    Could it be July 11th contract signing with Yao arriving in town?

    After all, Yao and Dwight were great rivals and Yao was instrumental in bringing Dwight here.

    I never realized Dwight had such a good left hand.

    Both the Kelvin Sampson and the Asik rumors maybe false.

    Maybe a lot of upset people in LA?

    In any case, I hope everyone gives this a couple days before we cement our beliefs to all the peripheral factors and probable player and staff changes.

    Lol ESPN is showing like the same clips over and over again. His left hand looks lovely in those though. They should get a bigger reel though...

    More than a rumor,but not official. Dwight has yet to inform the Rockets about his decision. He may be hesitant because the Rockets can only offer him a 4 year contract. He may want a sign and trade with the Lakers, which doesn't make any sense.

    What if Sam Amick was a Rockets fan and he just tweeted that because D12 would not want to have to seemingly have changed his mind again

    Still a football area but great fans down here. The Rockets fans have turned out every time they have a good team. This is a championship caliber roster. Now it's up to them to get to work. They'll score and score a lot. They need to be better defensively and I think they will be. They have as good as chance as anybody in the WC.

    I feel for Asik. He's a tremendous defensive and rebounding type player. He's been a good player since he's come into the NBA. Offensively, not as good as Howard but he's a starting center. It'll be interesting to see what teams that don't have a good foundation from rebounding and defensive standpoint take a look at him, even with the contract being a little out of whack for his talent.

    How good with Josh Smith?

    Already moving on to something else, okay. Right now, I like the Harden, Parsons, Howard core. Lin, when he first started in the NBA was overrated by that burst but now I think underrated because people are trying to look at any weakness he has and pick at him. I think he'll play well. They lost some key pieces. If they can add Smith, obviously that would help. I think this, when you put together a lot of good players, its important to have players who sacrifice. Howard coming to Houston will have to sacrifice. He can't demand the ball in the low post and have that bog down their greatest strength. They play well offensively. THey need to continue to play that way. He has to concentrate on rebounding and defending and being the great screener and roller that he is. They have shooting surrounding Howard. They'll be difficult to defend.
