    Now we just need to improve the depth perception issues so we can lure TMac back

    Gotta hand it to the Rockets. With the recent ESPN Magazine interview with Alexander, personalized recruiting by the team's star players, PR-ish articles by the Chron, and now upgrading the venue, they're leaving no stone unturned this offseason.

    As a fan, I respect the effort shown.

    There's the article that originally mentioned it.


    I've been in the Locker room one time. It's the only NBA Locker room i've been to so I can't compare it to others. I couldn't take photos of the locker room, but it's basically three walls, and the showers next door.

    The floor is black I think.



    yup it is. Found this on youtube.

    stupid Jazz radio guy shooting film of Toyota Center Home Locker room and road locker room. Figure it's the Jazz doing it. So damn dirty.

    There should be a strip club in there too. Harden and Dwight can make it rain not just while on the court.

    great i don't like that plain look on the court and some new uniforms wouldn't hurt since next couple seasons Dwight or no Dwight Rockets are getting a make over

    I don't understand how we do everything BUT change the jerseys and court. Come on Leslie, the China era is over and with the recent font change and revolution nonsense, they've looked even worse than before. Also be innovative, do something new and fresh, our court is just a copy of what a few others had already done. The court looks bland, needs to be upgraded!

    I'll be honest after watching that video, I went over to the dude's youtube channel and checked out all his videos of NBA locker rooms. He seems like a genuinely cool guy. Almost made me forget he works for the Jazz...almost...

    Les learned a lot from Mark Cuban here. Cuban has to be scared since Les' priorities don't include a Tv show.

    This kind of thing makes me proud of the Rockets. It's excellent for player development, and given how young this roster is I can see it having a very positive impact on the court.

    They can intimidate the opposing team before each game, as well.

    Mark Cuban is one of the best owners in pro sports. Don't put cheapass les in the same conversation.

    I want new jerseys as well, but I have to disagree that ours are a copy of what others have done. When our jerseys came out, I thought they were very original. The collars were the first of its kind, in fact others have copied from ours in that department. The looping stripes along the sides I find are very unique as well, whether they look good is another arguement. But i find our jerseys quite unique, especially when they initially came out. I've always hated the font though.

    That was related to the court, it's even in the part you quoted ;)

    They need to rebrand and create new uniforms.

    Go back to the championship uni's, everyone wants it.

    Has the depth perception gotten better?-TMac
    That was a silly argument from him.

    Yeah. I kept watching his other videos.

    I don't think he's that bad. I think he's an old Seattle guy.


    He did a google hang out with other radio pbp man, including our own Craig Ackerman.
