    The pad sounds like a giant tampon to me, which I take as an insult, because none of our players wear tampons.

    hopefully.

    I like the sound of the old-time NBC music playing in the background while an announcer says, "Live, from Houston, TX, it's SHOWTIME at the SHOWROOM!" Damn ABC/ESPN...

    Since I think I was the first to mention it I'll go with "The Showroom"

    Why do I get the feeling people are just going to call it "The Toy"?

    For comic value, if Compaq Center was the laptop, Toyota Center would be the hatchback or the 4x4.

    For serious value, I'm with the showroom contingent.

    That's good. EG will need to prove himself first, get some national recognition. But if that happens, and we truly have a legitimate "Big Four," then I think that could stick.

    Guys, it all starts at the Factory( as someone said , It's Where You Put The WorK In). Wouldn't you rather buy from the factory, or buy a floor model. I say lets get this team put together properly before we start buying all the bells and whistles from the Showroom floor. And that's the Matter of Factory.

    Post Championship era "The Showroom"

    Amen to that. There are salesmen in a showroom too, though. :( I am wondering if they will be selling us TOYOTAS? (I have two already)

    If we have a disappointing season, it'll be tagged the Hooptie Center...
