    I hate Lakers first game against them and first win over them would be a great start

    I understand how last year messed up the national image of the Rockets, but it seems like people are heavily sleeping on this team. This is going to be an interesting year.

    Haven't read the rest of this thread yet, but is this an "insider trade prediction" coded message? :cool:

    Rockets at UCLA today practicing Mid-Range jumpers! :confused::p:D:mad:

    Maybe MDA is planning the ol' switcharoo on the rookie coach Walton

    Houston owns UCLA, it's not surprising they just let us walk into their gym and take it over like usual.

    You got that right, most site power rankings have us behind Portland, Utah, Boston, Atlanta, Memphis and Raptors (wtf) for like the ~14th in the league. Its pretty laughable how underestimated the Rockets are this season, I fully expect these so-called analysts to be shocked at how good the Rox would be coming out of the gate.

    It's a reference to the greatest song of all time, Scott Stapp's "Marlins Will Soar"

    considering where they stay in when in LA there are only a few private facilities that can be used. UCLA campus is about 3 miles away (though trying to get through Wilshire traffic is a pain) and has everything they need. They use the Mens Gym which is pretty much empty and can be closed off to students pretty quickly. I got kicked out of there when they were practicing after the Dwight signing (I did just walk in though)

    Its not just the Rockets other teams use the facility too. I remember freshman year at UCLA how I saw Deke and AI leaving practice when they were in the finals

    I'm so damn ready for this game. Stopped by Specs during lunch. Got my DVR set. Looking forward to the start of a potentially highly entertaining season!

    Oh, and Terran, to answer your question, I got the Rockets winning tonight.

    Dwight left too soon, just when the love fest started? Or did he prevent what he longed for all these years.

    Well, those two choices got me all conflicted.
