    Ok so it is a few minutes more than 24 hrs but its close enough! Tomorrow the rest of us get to see what clutch has had a chance to see and I for one can’t wait, even if it is just a pre-season game.

    So what will you be looking for tomorrow when the game comes on? I am fairly predictable so it is easy to guess that I am going to be looking for the new 5 man offense, Eddie Griffin and Bostjan Nachbar. Plus this should be a fun game to watch as each team should have real talent on the floor most of if not all of the game.

    How good can Memphis be? Will they use Pau at center? Williams, Dickerson, Battier, Gooden and Gasol sound like a pretty damn good line up to me. How much better would they have been though if they had kept Mike Bibby to play with that group? With guys like Wesley Person and Lorenzon Wright to help fill out their team I am thinking that they could be one of the surprise teams and challenge for a play off this year.

    What will be your favorite match ups against the Rockets this year?

    Anyway back to the subject at hand. Tomorrow night ricerocket and me will finally agree on something! We will both be cheering for the Rockets and wanting them to win! In 24 hours we can finally get on to what this sight is really about…Houston Rockets Basketball!

    BTW, thanks clutch, Jeff and the clutch crew for making the off season bearable. With out clutch city I would be just another ill-informed out of town fan with no one to talk Rockets basketball with. Thanks Clutch.

    ***applause***Exactly. Thanks Jeff, Clutch, Dr. of Dunk, and Doc Rocket (wherever u r). You helped me stay sane this summer.

    Anyway, I can't wait to see Griff, Boki, and Steve dunk on that new tall guy they have. I also think even though it's preseason, the Rockets will be hyped because last year the Grizz blew them out and did a lot, and I mean a lot of showboating. GO ROX!!!

    It's nice to see that I'm not the only one anticipating this pre-season game.

    I actually would expect to see only a little of the new offense tommorow. The preseason is about getting out there, playing hard, earning roster spots, and NOT showing too much :D

    BTW, 610 is doing a pre-pregame show right now. Bostjan Nachbar will be on later this hour, and they will be talking Rockets/NBA only for the next hour...

    I agree this is a possibility, but I think that everything would have to go just about perfect for the grizz this year for this to happen. They are loaded with young talent, but we will have to wait and see how they will gel and play together. I think they would be in a lot better shape, like you said, with Bibby. If they still had a guy like him they would be in a lot better position to have their young talent cultivated. With an unpredictable PG like Jwill, I think (and hope) it will be just another lottery season for the Grizz

    Tell me you have NBA League Pass. That is standerd and neccesary for the out of town fan. Is AT&T a cable provider in Seattle? I only go DTV and they never let me down.

    Yes, for the third year in a row I ordered League Pass with AT&T, and for the first time, it does not seem to be showing preseason games. I don't have the blue screen yet with the cheesy music, and it is pissing me off royally. I was really looking forward to watching the Rockets play.


    Does anyone know if the game will be on internet radio?

    3 1/2 hrs till the Rockets tee off and recapture their old glory by kickin' ass and taking names once again!


    the Rockets will win the Midwest Division, don't fight the kapaya funk.
