    Did anybody else forget that the thunder was OKC? Did anybody else think the rockets were playing an NBDL team?

    Is McGrady going to be playing in this one as well?

    Hopefully Brooks can have a solid game to deter some of the worried fans such as myself.

    Is anyone here dying to see Artest and Battier on the floor at the same time?

    Battier was already too much for Kobe to handle. Now you have Artest as well?

    I just can't wait to have a Rafer and Artest half court trap with Tmac and Shane playing the passing lanes with Yao guarding the hoop. :cool:

    No need to take a plane to go there because a bus is enough to take rockets to OKC within hours. Just to save some money for les to pay the luxury tax. Or, maybe we can get rid of the luxury tax by trading some of our rosters to OKC thunder. We have many pretty good PFs on paper but none of them has a three pt ability which is quite needed in adelman's systerm, and personnally I think landry is just the same style as hayes while dorsey is not quite different from those two too. Scola's midrange shooting is pretty good but his longrange ones are bad. Marshall is able to shoot the three and his experience of playoffs n finals of 07(even though they lost the finals to spurs absolutely) is gonna help us in the postseason. And his contract is expiring after the upcoming season so we will be able to use his salary space for artest. To get marshall, we just need to offer them chuck n luther n aron(or francis if his injury is still not cured yet) as a package, our three guys' salary will reach over 5m or more, at least is a little bit more than marshall's. then by excuting this trade, we'll also help les get rid of the luxury tax as well. At least les will pay less morey as luxury tax which is simply his nightmare.

    Brooks is going to be very up and down in the early going. He throws 3 good assists then has 3 to. Also his shooting, his strength, hasn't been consistent. I thought this guy could hit 3s all day long.

    I have DirecTV and I don't get FSN. (I live in Huntsville, TX).

    Does anyone know what channel the game might be on for me? Please?

    Correction...

    This game is in OKC. Not a home game for the good guys.

    Correction to myself...

    I just checked to make sure and it is a home game.

    I think this was just recently changed. I can even remember how Bill Worrell said during the Boston game the Rockets were on a three-game road trip. Eh.

    They are playing in Tulsa OK. Nuetral site (yeah right) but it's considered a home game for the Rockets.

    I still don't see how you can name an NBA team after a sound...anyways let's see how T-Mac's knee looks in this game. Go ROCKETS!

    Even if the Rockets benched, T-Mac, Yao, and Artest, we would still win by 10+ if OKC played with all their starters.
