I thought Jeremy Lin made the team, but they had to move someone to make room for Dalembert.

Let's do this right, shall we?

A day late, but much better.

Serious predictions?

Rockets sneak in as the 7th seed in the West.

Rox have a back to back to back this weekend. Dalembert needs to get up to speed. This team is a possible 7 or 8 if the chemistry's there.

I'm not particularly worried about a lack of chemistry. I think we'll fine in that regard. What concerns me is a lack of talent and coaching.

Still think it was a mistake to let Adelman walk. I'm not sold on McHale as a coach. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see

Playing the Spurs at home tonight.

I would be surprised if this team as it is now makes the playoffs, I hope I'm wrong but I think this team will be pretty bad.

Hey at least tonight's entertaining

If we play like we did tonight every night we'll be tough to beat

Great team defense tonight vs the spurs.

Best team in the state takes down the blue hairs.

Thabeet owned Duncan.

Thabeet: 6 points
TD: 4.

It was never a game. Put the Spurs away easy.

Good win!

Pretty exciting win for the Rockets. I hadn't realized until I read Feigan's article in the Chronicle this morning that they are the youngest team in the NBA at this point. The future is bright.

Not too familiar with Dalembert's previous work, but he looks like he's pretty fired up to be a Rocket. Savor the flavor of starting, Jordan Hill. You won't be much longer.

You would be pretty fired up too if you could get out of Philly and into Houston!

That year in Sactown probably wasn't a whole lot of fun, either.

At the Rockets-Memphis game tonight.

Sat by the Rockets bench.

Looked like a team playing their third game in 3 days. They mentally checked out fairly early.

Father Grizzlies took care of business tonight

Exactly! Thats why the Rockets own the series 44-21 all time

Remember those games in Vancouver when Steve Francis first was traded to Houston? Those grizzlies fans hated them some Steve, he always played well vs them though, that's when I really believed in Francis.

Ah yes, Stevie Franchise. Still think he got robbed in the slam dunk contest.

I also still have NBA Live 2002 on xbox with Stevie Franchise on the cover.

i was at the spurs game. loud and proud

Nice victory against ATL tonight. End the year on a high note! 2-2 after 4 games. Oh, and Dallas still sucks!

It's 948 and Dallas still sucks

Was at the game last night and the Kyle Lowry block was one of the most athletic and best plays I have ever seen in basketball. That place went crazy!

Mavs drop another to Rick Adelman's TWolves tonight. Dallas is dead last in the Southwest Division at 1-4.

2012 is off to a great start!

Lowry has been an above average PG since he arrived in Houston IMO. I know it has only been 4 games this season , but is he on the verge of becoming a top 8-10 PG in the league at one of the leagues deepest positions?

Right now there is only a hanful of players I would take over Lowry to be my franchise PG.

I love twill

Marcus Morris to the D league

Never a good feeling when Kyle Lowry is posting up against Kobe. This is when we miss Shane
