    Yes, it's true, the Rockets have a legit center again :D
    It's incredible to finally have that rim protector, that shot altering, shot blocking, rebounding big man :D
    We felt so small before but not anymore!

    Welcome to Houston Sammy!!! #21 fellas, remember it ;)

    I'm really really impressed with him. You talk about shape and is evident, that last Reddick 3 was his fault.

    5/6 FGs - 10 pts, 5 rebounds, 4 blocks, 2 steals! I don't know who is responsible for the boxscore but I counted at least 4 blocks by Dalembert, if not more..they counted 3 :S

    Can't wait to see what he does as a starter, which he should become soon enough, and logging 30-40 mins!

    Deke is back in the form of a more mobile, hustling ass, younger body :)

    He looked good. Just don't put him in a position where has to dribble the ball or make a one-on-one move.

    Sammy and Hill holding the 5 looks very promising this season.

    He played really well. Looked a out of shape and a little winded, but he still played well tonight.

    Nice game from Dalembert. It nice to see someone blocking shots and protecting the rim for the Rockets.

    dally had a good game despite looking out of shape. Our wing defenders sucked today. still its just the start of the season.

    Dally looked good. If we can get KMart playing anywhere near his level of play last season and if TWill can get a jump shot going and thereby displace Bud, this team could be making serious noise
