    No, not really.
    I wouldn't say "nearly impossible." :eek: It's been done before. Sure, it was different teams before, but we have a good core of dudes who come to hustle and play tough D. They could be on a bad night at home, too. C'mon, man... show more optimism. ;)

    just made an estimate... not really exact on that...

    Brooks, Conroy, Dorsey and Taylor - RVG at some point?

    4 of 14? That's about a third... and no Ming isn't included in that count because he's no playing this year.

    This is a crucial game, but like so many crucial games, the Rockets won't show up in one of the quarters and we will lose badly.

    That's not how Rockets losses go.

    We'll play well, outside of some huge offensive lull or defensive lapse, and then claw back and make a game out of it before looking at the very end to some turnover or bone-headed shot (looking at you, Trevor!).

    I like it when they break the mold, though!

    Ok, dismiss the ONE THIRD stuff. ;)

    BROOKS? I thought we got him off the draft. When was he an NBDL star? :confused:

    OK my comments are midleading ... I meant they had been there and owned at one point or another. Aaron was sent down to the Vipers for a short stint, as was Dorsey and Taylor. Conroy also was sent down there but I'm not sure if he started there or not. Either way, they all outgrew the Vipers quickly.

    recent move to get Conroy and send J Taylor to Vipes

    this is a story about Aaron being called up:
    http://www.nba.com/dleague/riograndevalley/brooks_071214.html

    this is Dorsey, a NBADL ALLSTAR:

    of course Taylor was brought back recently as well:

    The guys at the Grizzlies forum are saying that we are like the Spurs in that we're old..... really?

    I have a feeling that Brooks is going to D-E-S-T-O-R-Y tomorrow... ;)

    Entertaining analysis on their part, to say the least.

    they live in Memphis .That explains it all. Hell, I could be faster in a foot race than Brooks ,doesnt mean Im a better player. See, they have no football team or baseball team (if they do,they must suck because I cant remember)

    And since they have no other teams , they have man-crushes on all of their players (yes homo)

    So, naturally, they wouldnt trade Gay for Lebron. Um, like they say Gay is probably faster so screw Lebron. Lebron sucks. :rolleyes:

    Oh, and its a perfect fit that Rudy Gay plays there with fans that love their players as much as that.

    ps: of course it is probably 15 yr old posters there and I can prove it,anybody that thinks 29 Scola is old, must be a 15 yr old. Since when is 29 old?

    We matchup well with Memphis, except we are missing one post defender. Hayes can guard either Zbo or Gasol, the other one is going to light us up. Lowry would be perfect for this game, but he is down.

    Should be close one, win or loss.

    Rockets win! 104-94

    Saw on the Rockets notes from the chron, that Kyle has beenn upgraded to questionable for tonights game, I think depending on how he runs and it feels will determine if he plays.

    I didn't think Memphis would ever play this good. I guess it makes sense that will be trading their best player (Rudy Gay). Game close, crash boards, make points, go home winner!
