to see Steve Franchise back in Houston. Man I remember a game against the Lakers when Shaq and Yao first played against each other, it was Francis with his jumpers after jumpers and drives after drives getting us that thrilling win. Or when we finally won a playoff game after 5-6 years. Francis were his emotions in his sleeve and its gonna be fun watching him. I hope this team can get the best record this year, so we can do some big time damage. P.S. - Lets hope for a injury free year. It's been a while. Rockets all the way.
Dude, where have you been the last 2 months. There have been like 30 threads about this. Haha. But ye im very excited as well. Cant Wait!
i'd like to see a new version of Francis, i think i speak for everyone when i say this not the pound the dribble, jack up a tough shot Steve, but one we've never yet seen, one who can play within the fabric of a great system, and great team. it is certainly alot to ask of a guy his age to come in and play a way he's never really played before - however i will admit his chances of doing so couldnt be guided by a better coach than RA.
liangqui, what does that mean. You said you are from China, do you also post on Yao-Ming-Mania? I am not a member but I have been lurking there to see how it is. It seems like only maybe 3 or 4 people contribute stories/pictures there and the rest of the posters just go back and forth arguing about Yi Jianlian and whether Rick Adelman is a good coach/bad coach for Yao Ming.
Im more excited in general of allll the acquistions..i cant wait to ssee everyone mesh and see what kinda damange we are gonna do in the nba...23 more days people!!
QUESTION: What is the 1st Alley Oop? Francis to Yao Yao to Francis Francis to TMac TMac to Francis Tmac to Yao Yao to Tmac other? H*ll Yeah I am Pumped Rocket RIver
Excited? Im the guy that keeps going crazy lalalalalalala every time i look at the Rockets website's counter. I'm addicted....
I am very excited about the upcoming season! Firstly because I have such great expectations from our newly formed team and new Head Coach. Secondly because I have high hopes that Yao Ming will make one more giant step towards being the best player in the NBA. I am not quite that excited about Steve Francis and the potential for a return of dribblemania and excessive rebounding by our Point Guard. Here is hoping that Steve will have matured and will be a great team player. Go Rockets 63 wins
I would be a little more excited if I was living in Houston, and not DFW. I can't get all of this damn Maverick talk out of my head. The fans here are annoying, too.
I am a glass half full person about my teams. One of the things that Hakeem Olajuwon and the two championships did for me was to liberate me from being a miserable fan. I felt like that once even one of my teams went all the way that I would stop being so gloomy about sports since it is all just about fun, anyway. I wrote all of this to say, F*** yeah, I'm as excited as you are, OP! The Rockets will roll like General Sherman to the sea this year. 62 wins, #1 seed, NBA Champions!
