    looking foward to many nights sheding tears when we lose to garbage like the bobcats. May need to move out of the city for a while until people can start taking this team seriously

    Do I like where we are? No, but we are better off with the roster we have now then the one we ended last season with... We will not get the 14th pick (knock on wood) and that is a start!

    We finally have a direction, which gives hope for developing a contending team down the road.

    I personally am looking very forward to next season with the team as it is. We will finally get to see the young guys play and get a high draft pick the old fashioned way. I sincerely hope we do not get Howard unless he comes cheap (meaning no rookies or bad contracts in the trade). His back injury is way too big of a question mark to risk the future without seeing him play significant minutes. I really like our rookies. Lamb has all star potential, DMo has all the tools to be a superstar (not saying he will be just that he has the capability). I am really excited about next season as long as we don't get Howard.

    For the 1st time in a long time the team will be starting two 7 footers at the same time. No more talk of the team starting an undersized power forward no that Motiejunas should be starting alongside Asik.

    Let Scola go, let Lowry go, Let centers go, let Dragic go,.......if this is not tanking, you might not know what tanking is.

    Drop that Morey worship stuff. He assembled that miserable 0.500 team while he was trying to 'win and improve'.

    Even if we only win 30 games the Rockets will be known as a young up and coming team, which is a good direction.

    If there is no brothas under the basket at the 4 and 5 starting hmmm maybe Asik and Motiejunas can give a similiar effect that Marc and Pau Gasol would. I like the height but this definitely expresses TANK!

    I like the direction...but time will tell if it works...

    I feel like we are pulling a New Jersey Nets direction...they played young players and were not a good team...but eventually they were able to trade their young players for a superstar (DWill) that the media did not know was on the block.
