    That's cool. Thanks for the update.

    Fudge. Why is everything cool happening during preseason, especially the preseason that shows a very few amount of games to non-Houstonians. Man, I wish I could watch them. Yes...yes...yes.

    All this talk about this new lineup just gives me chills. The Rockets have a very deep team, true. But what really impresses me about this team is how different each player’s style is from one another. This is just going to make Rudy's job easier.

    Last year's team was so depleted with injuries that Rudy didn't really have any way to change match-ups against other teams. This year Rudy will be able to change the match-ups continuously through out the game. Not only will this help the Rockets on offense, but also the much needed defense.

    Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

    Many people may not agre, but i think we will be the new blazers if the logjam isn't cleared up. To me, a bench should be a bench , nt a collection of guys who can be or want to be starters. I think on a bench, 1 maybe 2 guys should be capable of starting, not 4 or 5. Look at Sacramento and Hedo is the only possible starter and maybe Clark, but pollard,jackson and the other guys know their roles. They know how much they'll play and are happy with the limited minutes they get. Looking at the Rockets situation, which players would be happy playing 18-25 minutes? Taylor?Rice?Thomas?Griffin? Thats the dilemma and there lies the the potential problem. These core guys are young enough and haven't gotten to the point to where they will be happy with 18 or 20 mins a night. Morris,Norris,Torres would be ideal bench players where as i don't think Thomas or Taylor would take to kind to limited minutes. I hope for the best in the situation , but i don't know.

    Logjams should be addressed after we find the best combinations. Seems to be no doubt our defense is better with KT at 3 and Eddie at 4. So far there dosent seem to be any offensive loss either. The extra rebounding on BOTH ENDS is a big plus. THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A BAD DEFENSIVE TEAM THIS YEAR.

    And we have to get you to take off the CAPS LOCK key Bonita!

    But seriously, welcome to the board. Hopefully Tierre can provide an up-tempo game without too many turnovers.

    It's a shame what happened to TMo with the high-ankly sprain. Hopefully Nachbar will use the extra development minutes productively and the Rockets will gain from it. It'll be great if we can swap a imposing physical player (KT) for a tall shooter (Boki) when the matchup requires it.

    Tierre will have to play very, very well while Moochie is out, just to make this team......Cat played the point in his first year and knows how to pass, He passes about as much as the average 2. That is why they call them shooting guards.

    Understandable!!! ZZ..................... But... Cat is a gaurd and controls the game, he is a leader, if a man is open pass the ball. Expand your game, we know he can shoot.
