    Dammit, I was thinking the practice is on Friday. I could have gone today. :(

    Anyway, thanks for the recaps.

    I got there early and the Q&A was the first thing they did, so you didn't miss anything.

    I was cheering, too and got a pic of the weak side of the play. Oh well.

    No kidding. He also looks like he is taking it to the rack more.

    That would have been sick had he completed the jam. He really got off the ground, though. Very athletic. It seemed to me that he hit all his open jumpers and the ones he missed were contested. If he can hit the open jumpers this year, he will get PT cause he also plays pretty good D.

    Turnover, but it was a pretty pass, just took Stro off guard.

    That is one serious hitch, too. He will need to correct it if he wants to get that shot off in the regular season, much less the playoffs. He did attack the basket well and made a couple of open jumpers.

    I know it was just practice, but Langford looked like a black hole. I really don't think he will make the team.

    If Bowen can stick the long jumpers like that during the season, then it will be a difficult road for all the other teams in the league.

    Mooch looked good, as did Mutombo and Swift. Baxter was playing Yao most of the time :eek: so he wasn't able to do much, but he definitely hustled.

    As will I. I was six feet from the Power Dancers, so I will definitely have some good pics of them. Anyone able to host some rather large picture files?

    Isn't that how it usually goes. Starters vs. Bench.

    I saw the Suns scrimmage that was webcasted (wish rockets did this) and they split the teams pretty evenly. Iunno different for every team maybe? It'd be more interesting to see Tmac try to dunk on Yao.

    Here are my pics. I didn't take any pics of the scrimmage cause I was up top getting some free lunch :) and because my gf was hungry. By the time we got our food we ended up just watching from the Club Seats. Afterwards, we bummed around the Tundra Tunnel since thats where the players will end up exiting back to their lockers.

    All are thumbnails and clickable

    Sorry for no RPD pics guys.... :p

    Would also like to add, that I know that their doing their job, but it sucks when the Rockets personel are telling the players to go right to their lockers and dont stop for anybody. Stromile was extremely nice and did ALOT of autographs after being told more than once not to. Tried to get a pic with my gf but no luck. Van Gundy and Howard were class acts, didnt mind taking pics with my gf, and felt bad for them signing so much crap that people were throwing at them. No lie, somebody gave JVG a GOLF BALL to autograph. :rolleyes:
