    We are in the season for Thanksgiving and good tiddyings

    We definitely love our Rockets, however, I think we go over board in bashing players, coachers, GM's etc... I still don't understand why Keith Jones is a Sr. Vice President :))!!!

    What I like about our team
    * We won an opener since since my first move to Houston when the Rockets wore hot pants
    * New coach, who is using MJ just like he used Bobby Jackson to come in and light up the scoreboard and get the team moving
    > I hope he realizes when to pull in MJ Jackson
    * New Coach realized that we are handicapped with Rafer and Chuck in the lineup and switched immediately to Scola and James.
    * Also substituted for Shane with Bonzi, which also jump started the offense
    * We have a legitimate playoff contender that could possibily reach the finals.
    * Our GM is bold and brash and stole Scola for nothing.
    * Used Yao effectively in the high post, which kept him fresh down the stretch.
    * We have other options at PG
    * Stole SF3 for nothing, Steve get a personal trainer dude for after practice.
    * We still play excellent defense except for the last minute or so.

    Solid post.


    I think the personal trainer bit is a great idea......We will need Steve but only if he gets in shape.

    Dude gets bought out for $30M!!!! All he has to do now is fly with the Rockets around the country, lay on the court, and watch them play.

    I tell ya, I don't know how he does it...

    When you watch the Lakers and imagine what it would be like to be a fan of theirs right now then yeah, the Rockets are a-OK. At least we're not in some limbo between 42-40 team getting worse and rebuilding mode.

    I was certain it had been a long time too, but it's only been 2 years. Just feels like forever.

    Just to keep it fresh, please read and stop all of the complianing after one game. Sure we'll like them to be the New England Patriots, however, they are a good version of the Pittsburgh Steelers, which for right now is good enough.

    The players camp divisions and hate should be dissolved. We should support every player that wears a Rocket uniform.
