    Their are alot of players im looking foward to seeing.
    Im hopeing that Snyder is our 2 guard of the future.
    Im hopeing novak will be a better, smarter well rouned Keith van horn.
    Also that v-span can do some d-wade/parker slash and kicking and also draw some contact and get to the line.

    My over all goal for this season is to see our supporting players really develop and contribute on a regular basis.

    Yeah, I really excited about Yao and McGrady both having a healthy winning season. I want McGrady and Yao to be a strong inside-outside one two punch that is basically guaranteed 45-50 points a game, while Shane Battier is locking down the star of the other team, Novak, spotting up and hitting three point daggers, more of Rafer Alston's anklebreaking And 1 moves, more Luther Head, love that kid, Juwan Howard playing smart and consistently hitting the midrange J.

    I am also excited about Rudy Gay being called the biggest bust of the 2006 NBA Draft. :D Hopefully I didn't just jinx it for us.

    Right..but the other 15% will still say Yao sucks because he can't cure cancer. :)

    I anticipate/expect Yao & Tracy's game.
    Same with the rookies Novak & Killbill.

    So it's Battier's game I'm after. I believe he'll do more for us than anybody else we pick up this year. And I will definately be watching, and enjoying his effort.

    We're going to have a GREAT season!

    Yao and JL III

    I think Novak will star in a few games this year [double digit pts]
    [thinking March]

    I will need to watch him more
    but if his jumper is as money as it sounds
    and he can move a little. . . supplanting Juwan should not
    be much of an issue

    I don't hate Juwan but he was plateaued

    Yao. Because he's going to average 25-30 ppg next season and possibly even above 30 ppg. There's a good chance he'll get 28 ppg and 12 rpg with 1.5-2 bpg to go in there. It's going to happen, and it's going to happen next year. He finally gets it and we'll have the only center in the NBA worth watching. I think we've seen everything we can from T-Mac, but with Yao, the sky's the limit. It's gonna happen.

    Yao for MVP.

    I would really like to see Yao have a complete dominant season.

    A healthy T-Mac definitely and maybe Yao are the only things I look forward to this season.

    Yao dominating for a year is my #1

    but #2 is surely Shane.. i'm really excited about him. I think he'll be perfect...hit a high %age of 3's, thereby making everyone better offensively. Play great individual and team defense, thereby making everyone better defensively.

    Isn't that what everyone wants? Someone who makes his teammates better.. on both ends, at that?

    A healthy McGrady followed by a dominant Yao followed by Snyder and then followed by V-Span.

    1. A healthy T-Mac. Reason: I want everybody to shut up about Kobe being the best player in the game and go back to the days when guys like George Karl were saying that T-Mac was the best player in the league.

    2. A dominant Yao. Reason: Because it's about time, seriously.

    3. Battier. Reason: I really missed having solid veteran players (who's initials weren't J-Ho) on this team last season.

    4. All the new guys. Reason: Let's see what they've got!

    Easy... a healthy Tracy, following by the Yao we saw towards the end of last season, then Battier, Snyder, Kill Bill, Novak, and whoever else we get before training camp begins. I'm excited, and we shouldn't be through making moves.

    Go Rocks! :cool:

    The "Dream" Effect: More fans want to see a dominate center in Houston.

    So the answer is: Yao!
