    Has anyone heard anything about the Rockets/Comets court that was flooded along with the rest of the building? I know the Comets play Thursday night, but they may have gotten a temporary one. It wont be cheap to make a new one, although Im sure they have insurance.

    The Comets court was ruined. They borrowed one from U of H, I believe, to play the game.

    The Rockets court is stored away for summer, most likely.

    I'm sure that the Rocks' court was stored safely away in the basement. I'm sure it's OK. [​IMG]

    I think you are forgetting the Rockets and Comets play on the same court. They replace the parts that say Rockets (such as the logo in the center) and put the Comets logo down, but other than that its the same court. If you look at their court when the Comets are playing, there is an NBA 3 point line. So I think if the Comets court got destroyed the Rockets one did to because they are the same thing.

    Summit is correct. The floors are the same except for the logos. It was destroyed. They are using a UH floor temporarily because it is the same size.

    What about the uniforms? Any chance the uniforms were ruined?

    [​IMG] And is there any chance that every copy of Kelvin Cato's contract was lost in the flood, too?
