    Look at how much the team has changed in the four years, this is already a rebuilt team and people want to rebuild again.

    Howabout Jessica Alba as my personal power dancer.

    Whoops that was my Christmas wish. :D

    For the Rox, the Heart of a Champion, or at least another Mario Elie in his prime.

    To be moved to the Eastern conference. Then we can leave our roster intact and finish with the #1 seed in the playoffs.

    Get rid of the Zone. It sucks. It's killing th NBA.

    This is professional basketball, not highschool/college, so lose the ZONE!!!

    Agreed, the zone is awful. It's not going to promote any lost art of team play, the system of individual play is ingrained at every level of basketball and society as well. Stop fighting it and make the best of it.

    Zone defenses have been implemented now to prepare the NBA for international expansion. Zone defenses are allowed in international play. David Stern wants to possibly expand the league in Europe. I don't know about logistics of this happening, but he has said he wants it to happen.

    Zone doesn't seem to be hurting the Kings or the Mavs anyways as professionals NBA players and coaches should be able to figure out how to beat zones. Also prior to last year zone defenses in the NBA were like holding in football. They were used a lot and the refs would only occasionally call them.

    ...and thus cutting off its nose to spite its face.

    Ditch the zone and the three point line, cut down on the wrestling matches that are allowed in the paint, then see what happens. Players would be forced to take higher percentage shots, and play defense with their feet and not their arms.

    Sounds good to me.

    To see the game played as well as I can and do see it played at the college, high school, and even "the little dribbler" level. I thought the term "professional" basketball stood for the mastery of the fundamentals of the game. In the Rockets case, win or lose, the fundamentals of the game like passing, posting, shooting, blocking out, screening, etc, etc. are usually not executed well. Some of the "star" players appear as they have never been to a "high school" basketball camp. So what is my wish, LEARN AND PRACTICE THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE GAME!!!!
