    According to Jonathan Feigen's article submitted to Titan Sports, Luther Head took a personal leave and was the only Rockets that did not take the physical. The only other Rockets that did not pass the physical is of course, Bob Sura.

    http://titan.sports.tom.com/2006-10-04/0424/84879935.html

    Let me see if I can find time today to translate this Jonathan Feigen's article on Titan back into English, or we should wait for a day or so; maybe Jonathan Feigen will post the article on his Blog or in the Houston Chronicle.

    It's an interesting article in which it describes the day the Rockets took the medical check/physical at the Memorial Hermann Hospital, and there are lots of quotes from Yao Ming that should pump us all for the new season.

    Some of the more noteworthy quotes from Yao Ming are:-

    1. He is 100% fit and healthy.

    2. He said it is time for the Rockets to rebounce in the new season from their lowest ebb from previous season; he is confident that with the talents and depth of the current roster, they will be able to do so.

    3. He said he has learnt alot from the 2 surgeries he had previous season (the toe and the left foot); he learnt now now to prevent and protect himself better from such injuries, and he is pretty sure such injuries would not happen to him again in the new season.

    4. He also said that he realized that it is no time for the new players to gain experience. It is now time for him to shoulder his team and lead the Rockets to victory.

    5. Yao Ming said the pressure and expectation on the team is high, but they are now more determined. Yet, the Rockets is now much stronger and deeper in its roster, and that is why critics and fans are expecting more from them.

    I'm leaving to go to the gym at 9, probably will be there until 10:30-11. If the coverage isn't up then I got about 4 hours of tv saved to my dvr I'm prepared to watch as I await the coverage!!! It will be posted tonight right????

    Also I just want to say thanks Clutch for the great site and all the hard work you have and continue to put into it for us loyal Rocket fans.. Also remember, not only are we loyal Rocket fans, we are loyal Clutch fans aswell, and Jeff, the photos I've seen so far are amazing, how much did that lense cost to rent?

    I cannot wait for this season to begin, so many new faces I am siked to see and so many old faces I'm siked to see. The only other preseason I can remember that has felt like it took longer then this one was when we got Tracy in the trade.. I remember the excitement of the first game when all that waiting felt like it paid off... I cannot wait to feel that feeling again next month!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO mwahahahaha GO ROCKETS!!

    There are two different posters. One called "AussieRocket" who has about a dozen posts. And "aussie rocket" who has 970 posts.

    It's like "Da-Glyde" and "DaGlide" all over again.
