    Got to see more scrimmage today, though Francis and McGrady both were sitting out.

    Novak, Bullard (who is at camp) and Aaron Brooks had a three-point shooting contest -- Brooks won. Brooks was making some decent jokes about that... says he won't lose in a shooting contest to anyone that isn't a girl. T-Mac says though Brooks' shot is off right now in scrimmages and they're giving him a hard time about that.

    Carroll Dawson was also there today, as was Bill Worrell.

    I was taking pictures of Francis during his interview and he stopped to ask if that was "one of those camcorders that OJ got caught on." Kind of funny.

    Rafer is probably the nicest Rocket I've ever spoken to. Very approachable... very cool during an interview. He said his team (Gray) dominated the scrimmage today.

    Story is coming and I have some good pictures and audio I will post on ClutchFans shortly...

    Brooks > Bullard.

    That's all that matters.

    Thanks for the information. Brooks won. I knew he would. He is a winner in college just like Vince Young. Hope this can be translated into the NBA.

    Why else? They were banned for fighting in practice...

    Clutch, is there any way you can 'sticky' these official training camp threads?

    Brooks beat Novak in 3-point shootout?

    It's amazing how the shooting touch of SuperNova vanished so quickly after playing 1-year of Gundy ball. Hopefully a thorough degundification under Adelman will put Steve on the right track.

    Sure why not.

    Just like his former head coach's playoff record with the Rockets, Luther's 26.1% 3-pt FG is not something you wanna tout.
