    I think that whether they use a concrete or asphalt court, or a hardwood one, they need to have the fixed double rim.

    I remember when I was a kid watching the Rockets on UPN and Bill Worrell said, "Catch our next game on the road." I took it literally and expected them to play outside on concrete. I was so devastated

    Maybe one day most arenas will have retractable roofs like Reliant Stadium. How awesome would that be! It would be interesting to watch players deal with the wind factor or the sun in your eyes. Too bad we'll probably have to wait till at least 2030 until something like this happens.

    Can you imagine what McGrady would come up with as far excuses go?

    "uuuh, yeah, the barometric pressure is really affecting my shot. not just me but every guy in the league has said something privately about it."

    "El Nino is really hurting my free throws."

    Play an exhibition or preseason game at Rucker. Charge $200 a head and televise it nationally. You can only fit so many out there, but it would be worth it. Suns-Lakers. Get the regular Rucker guys to call the game.

    Oh, that is funny! :D

    When it comes to the Rockets, how about setting their shorts on fire. Bet they get motivated to hit those freebies.
