We'll see what Terence Morris can do in this game against Utah scrubs! ------------------ ZeColmeia on stealing: "I did not steal anything. Ive used some of clutchcity player profiles when I first created the draft profile page."
And, hopefully, we will see what Eddie can do too ------------------ "For there is nothing either good or bad, thinking makes it so." - William Shakespeare (1564-1616), Hamlet
Hmm... that's right in the middle of the Rocky Mountain Revue. I was thinking about going up to Utah to check out some of the action, but I really would rather watch Terrence and especially Eddie... hope if I go I won't be watching ScrubFest 2001. ------------------ This space awaiting something witty to be said in a long, slow off-season...
Does anyone know what the Rockets Roster will look like for these games. I know people like Griffin, Langhi and Morris will play. But who else? ------------------
To bad he isn't playing against the crap New York drafted, he'd go off for 70! ------------------ "Win if you can, lose if you must but always cheat!" - Jesse Ventura
I assume Coleson and Collier will play. Maybe some other CBA scrubs. ------------------ "Chucky who? I thought we were talking about basketball?" Charles Barkley
Yeah, probably Colson, Morris, Langhi, Collier, and a bunch of young players we've never heard of. Hopefully, Griffin will play. Likely not. Who knows? Maybe Freebirds will let Maurice Evans off of work to play on the Rockets' squad. ------------------
I'd love for the actual Rockets roster to show up and play. Imagine the margin of victory! Utah would just kill them... ------------------ Protrolls.com! "I want to be like Olajon." -Sagana Diop has the right idea...
Maurice Evans is playing with the Timberwolves summer league team. I don't know who the Rockets will get to fill out the roster for the rest of the summer league team. Shabazz perhaps? Carson Cunningham? ------------------ The Smurfs were Communists
Ya know, some of us won't have to wait for ESPN on the 26th. We'll be in L.A. next week and be watching Eddie Griffin and the other "summer Rockets" in the games there.
Am I the only one would really like to see Tyrone Washington emerge on the roster. ------------------ Ceo of the Walt Williams and Lisa Malosky fan club. atheistalliance.org
Yeah, I would too -- maybe he could be kindof like Marc Jackson -- he's been in Europe for a few years now, we could probably use him now. What about Venson Hamilton? He looked like he had TONS of upside when we drafted him. We could use his shotblocking. ------------------ CC.net's most courteous driver Oh yeah, and I'm looking for a job right now, so hire me please
That's going to be a nice week for Rockets fans, on nba.com tv they'll be showing a couple famous games. July 23: 4:00-6:00 PM (central) NBA Greatest Game: Rockets vs. Suns Game 7 1995 Western Conf. Semis The Kiss of Death... July 25: 4:00-6:00 PM NBA Greatest Game: Jazz vs. Rockets Game 4 1997 Western Conf. Finals The Eddie Johnson miracle 3... Just avoid that channel at 8 pm on the 25th, they'll be showing game 6 of the Jazz series, the horrible Stockton 3... ------------------ This post contains no smilies, you must judge my seriousness on your own...

Some of us aren't cursed for life by being GS Warriors fans either - what's your point?! ------------------ This space awaiting something witty to be said in a long, slow off-season...
Unfortunately for you, the Rockets play at the Rocky Mountain Revue, in SALT LAKE CITY... ------------------ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS..." - Mark Twain -
I guarantee that Washington, Hamilton, and Dench will be invited to the camp. We might even see KT there as well. ------------------ The title will come to ClutchCity once again.
