What else can we do now after the stupid trade? There is no such thing as a time machine... It's not like Battier was behind this... so we should at least treat him as one of our own for this upcoming season
Welcome Shane! Don't mind all the negativities people say about the trade for acquiring you. It's not your fault. You're a good player and a good person. Now put Memphis behind, help Houston get to the next level and make Jerry West regret the trade!
I might be one of the greater critics of Rocket Management, but Shane it's not your fault, and I have always loved your game from Duke through Memphis. Achieve your true potential with us, and I will be the loudest one in the Arena yelling for you.
Shane, What had been said is nothing against you personally. Don't take it to heart. You are most welcome to Rockets and we love to have you in red. So do your best for Rockets and the fans are all behind. BTW, some fans if they are Rockets' fans will still nitpick on you, but just ignore them. Majority of the fans welcome you.
Houston needs your "intangibles" more than ever. Kick @$$ and take us to the championship buddy. Welcome to HTOWN!
Welcome Shane. I have been opposing the trade ever since it went down, and I am still opposing it. Make me wrong, boy. Make everyone here wrong. We'll be glad to admit our mistake. Actually, I can't wait to say I am wrong about this.
whats wrong with the dude giving his own opinion about shane battier??? its not our fault the the rockets phucced up? but im glad shane is in houston. at least we have somthing.
There is nothing wrong having one's opinion but not on this thread. At least, he could have said, Welcome.
Shane, our anger and frustration is not toward you but the management. I am sure you would hope they can be smart in this trade and get mroe in return too... Welcome and help to bring the Rox to next level.
"Battier spent his introductory press conference at the Toyota Center promising fans that he'll help get the Rockets back into the playoffs. He imagines such an effort will win over any fans who are still questioning the deal." um... can you promise that we'll get out of the first round? please?? we can make the playoffs if t-mac and yao are healthy. making the playoffs is not a problem as long as t-mac and/or yao are healthy. the real question is: "can we make it past the 1st round?" and the next question is: "can we win a championship?" i hope you can aid in bringing those two things to houston. welcome and good luck.
shane battier is probably the most efficient role player in the nba and we can be proud to have him on our team. he's no superstar, but he can do whatever you want him to do. i really, really like him. but it's still sad that we didn't even get a draftpick for stro swift. but that's not shane's fault, so welcome on my favorite team.
I would rather have Shane Battier than either Rudy Gay or Stromile Swift, but we still need one more reliable scorer.
He looks like someone you'd expect to see at the office, rather than on a basketball court. I heard VY got a house in Katy, Shane.
