    In light of all the nastiness flying around the board right now I would like to suggest this thread be about our brotherhood of united Rockets fans. So let's sit around the campfire and sing together praises to our fandome, or pull our winkies out and reach over and give your neighbor a squeezy.

    Please say something positive about the team and validate the opinion of the poster in front of you. That's the rule for the thread. I'll go first.

    "Hello everyone. My name is Robert Paulsen. The thing I'm most excited about this season is seeing Tari and Jabari! And how they've expanded their game and grown as players!"

    Your turn! And please validate my excitement.

    I validate your excitement about Tari and Bari. I'm also excited about Sengun's 7 footer status updates!

    Hello all, my name is Leslie Alexander. The thing I most look forward to is wearing shoes without socks and laughing.

    We have an abundance of potential in our youngsters, a brand new coach and a few free agent signing that might pan out in a positive way

    We just got rid of a huge distraction!!! That's a huge step in the right direction!! Ready for the season to start. Hoping we get salary relief to acquire someone else down the road.

    For so many years I have been a fan of our Rockets, This upcoming season 2023 - 2024 brings a new vision!
    We are just about to be uplifted from our low feeling of the last three seasons, into a glorious season of winning,
    I expect Jalen Green to score 27 points, Porter 23 points and Jabari Smith 22 points.
    Oh it will be such an uplift from the Rock bottom to almost feeling we are in Heaven, Yetti

    Myles Turner said this without prompt about Jalen Green.

    Hey seems like a good time for some positivity and glass half full outlook and one of them is at least the rest of our young core seem like actual decent humans. So hopefully this is the last of troubled young players messing up culture on this team.

    Thanks fchowd! Namaste! Jalen Green is the real deal! I'm also thankful for the new coach Ime who may, or may not, give us a moment where we wonder why we didn't question past experience as a clue towards future behavior. Whatever! Let's live in the present. I'm also grateful for FVV and how he is going to help Jalen realize his potential!

    Actually, I'm actually very much looking forward to actually seeing this team run by actual point guards running an actual system implemented by an actual coach.

    Also excited to see Udoka and some fresh point guard play raise the water level for all boats.

    Also "Kumbaya My Lord" and "Circle Jerk" in the same thread title. Nice.
