    how we don't stand up until the first basket anymore? anyone know the reason for this? i always thought it was a good sign of togetherness, especially in the past.

    from what i see from the bench during the days of sura, jon barry, etc., as much as there wasn't as much talent as we have now, they always seem to have quite a bit more fun and enjoy. just something ive realized throughout the season.

    I think Mutombo was a big proponent of this. Rockets need to sign him asap.

    I think this is an extremely critical issue worthy of at least 50 pages of discussion.

    lol the sad thing is that name would fit this team perfectly. It's not just our stars anymore.

    McGrady is carrying an injury bacteria. He needs to be quarantined.

    I think Deke brings more than a backup center to the table.

    We need him back.

    Les, do some insider trading so you can afford the lux tax and bring him back now.

    I know it's a good custom for a team, but it really doesn't matter for a win :)

    We need Mutombo back as Yao's substitution.per game 37minutes is a bit more for Yao,and also when Yao is off the court,our players are too tiny,we need big guy,Mutombo is good.He can defend our paint.You are right,Even if doesn't use,he is a good backup center

    Deke is still able to play some minutes in NBA games but should we expect him to act as yao's backup severl years later? Deke is undebatably unvaluablee for our long-term run. I would rather to see dorsey get some game time, or even become the starting center in place of Yao who's actually a coward(no better than his sister---tmac, both cowards who are always feared of fight). WHat's our topic? Oh... ... :D I miss Jon and Pardgett who always stood up and helped control the game with their 3pts. But I think bob sura appeared more as lineup rather than a bench player, I miss him too. Has he retired? Maybe he's considering coming back to court and resolve our PG problems to some degree.
