    I am in Beaumont area so we don't get 20. It says NBA TV is showing it but will it be blacked out?

    Truth be told, the rockets should rest all the starters except for Jordan Hill, to see what they got with some of these camp invites(Smith, Lin) as well as rookies(Morris, Parsons).

    I doubt Parsons plays, since he just signed today.

    I wanna see a lot of TWill, Morris, Flynn, Dragic, Hill, and Thabeet.

    Disagree.. We need our core players to 1) get back into game shape 2) make sure they got the new system down pat 3) learn to play without chuck hayes

    Thabeet is a given. The organization is currently attempting decide if he can complete at NBA levels or at least has the potential to make an impact.

    Flynn and Dragic as well, just for Mchale to decide who's the second string point.

    Thabeet will be in foul trouble in the first 2 minutes.

    Wow, only 4 pages on our first game thread just two hours before game time?
    I find your lack of faith disturbing.

    Kind of expected. Wait until after the game. There's going to be a lot to talk about.

    Thabeet gets 8 blocks and completely dominates Tim Duncan...


    Then he leads us to a championship as a dominant defensive anchor...


    :grin:

    Yes sir

    And there will be a glitch on NBA 2k12, it will through you out of the game and you won't be able to show us the game save, the only thing that could prove that Thabeet can actually play the game

    Videogames counts too

    I'm really excited to see Hill play. By all accounts he has improved a ton and will have a good year.

    One simple question: if Thabeet is actually going to start this season will he become the worst Rockets starting center ever?

    There were a lot of conversations about his improvement last year and he showed it in Lakers or Thunder games but he lacks the main part: consistency.

    Right now he can be a legit player, if he can be consistent, he has enough skill even now. But psychology is really against this guy

    I would be amazed If they start Thabeet.

    Would McHale stoop to such lows to play big?

    I hope it is true just for entertainment purposes... :grin:
