    LOL. Maybe, that was the only shirt resembling white that he had in his closet.
    Boy, Stevie really put a lot of thought into this formal.....guys decked out in all white.... Good for Stevie. Now, that he's feeling comfortable again, it's time for him to perform like the old confident Stevie.

    This is just flat out weird seeing them together in a real photo together. It's not even that Steve is still a star or anything. Never in your wildest dreams 3 years ago did you think those two would play together when some posters got carried away in thinking Mobley and Cato would be enough.

    Still pumped to have Stevie back. He still looks like he needs to drop 10-15 pounds just by his face alone.

    Do you think they considered canceling the party because of EG's death?

    It can't be an "all white" party, I don't see any white people!

    Mac's head is closer to the camera so it looks like a ripe melon compared to Stevie. To bad Yao couldn't make it. He would've been a wall of white.

    Formal or informal they probably put a good bit of planning into it, guests from out of town, etc. If they did think of Griffin they probably thought of it as why not use the party to give him a moment of recognition.


    A lil too promo'ed out for what I thought itd be about... whats he about to release his R&B album?
    But whatever gets him back to playing good basketball though. Welcome back

    You're onto something there....Stevie needs to hit the gym to full workouts.

    Houston Rockets Roster Report
    Sports Xchange, Updated 6 days ago
    http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/5027036?CMP=OTC-K9B140813162&ATT=73

    DRAFT PICKS:

    --Aaron Brooks, 5-10 1/2, 160, guard, Oregon -- Gives the Rockets yet another small player, but they love his speed and athleticism.

    --Brad Newley, 6-6, 195, guard, Australia -- Considered a star in Australia, but it remains to be seen whether he ever plays a minute for the Rockets.

    ?? FREE AGENT FOCUS: The addition of Steve Francis should end the Rockets' free agent pursuits, shifting the emphasis on trimming, rather than adding to, their roster.

    The Rockets made brief run at Rashard Lewis but then moved toward seeking frontcourt help in a trade.

    When Francis became available, the Rockets put on the recruiting moves. Coach Rick Adelman, star players Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady and former Rockets general manager Carroll Dawson all made pitches.

    ?? PLAYER NOTES:

    --C Yao Ming married Ye Li, a 6-foot-2 member of China's national women's basketball team, in a ceremony Aug. 6 in Shanghai.

    --G Steve Francis said he has not returned to full workouts while treating the tendinitis in his knees that slowed him throughout his last season with the Knicks, but he said he should be at full strength well before reporting for training camp.

    --G Rafer Alston was arrested on charges of assault and public intoxication in the early morning of Aug. 5 in downtown Houston. No other details were available. Earlier this summer, Alston said he expected to be traded before the start of training camp. Alston worked out in Houston with Rockets coaches through the offseason last year but has rarely been at Toyota Center this summer. He has worked out on his own instead.

    --F?Chuck Hayes was signed to a four-year contract, with the final season at the team's option. The contract starts at $1.5 million with another $200,000 in incentives likely to be reached and additional less likely incentives.

    Look at Mac: his sleepy eyes, I am not sure if he is ready for the new season.
