I'm in. Don't think we have a chance to win it all. But should still be fun.



As a non Rocket fan, I disagree.

The warriors have best chance, obviously, but Rockets are clear #2.
Followed by Celtics.

If we don't trade Chriss, he's definitely ahead of Hartenstein
Maybe, but I'm not really impressed with Chriss. He doesn't have great fundamentals and seems real lazy and dumb.

This is what I see as well. Very low basketball IQ.

He has plenty of talent and potential but has zero basketball IQ, poor work ethic, and had a bad attitude in Phoenix. Hopefully that will change but if not he can be traded pretty easily.

Here at the game tonight and they played a Luis Scola tribute video. Didn't know he was playing for Shanghai. Teamed up with Jimmer Fredette. Looks like he's in good shape.

Say Zhou leave on a wheelchair. Hope he is ok.

He was down on the floor for a long time. Didn't look bad at first glance but getting wheeled out out of here in a chair would definitely say otherwise.

Just looked it up. Scola is 38. I would've guessed older.

I think his NBA career just died. Looks like he obliterated his knee. The kid was already a string bean who looked too stiff...I doubt a shredded knee will help.

That is probably the worst possible outcome for that particular game. We played an exhibition game against a Chinese team who had a former Rocket, in order to showcase our current Chinese Rocket....and one horrifically injures the other...

Sad day in China.

Just got a notification that said "the Wolves are 'adamant' on getting Gordon and PJ Tucker in Butler trade but Houston says Tucker is off-limits".

Sounds like we are really trying to make something happen.

At this point I don't think the Wolves would take anything we offered. They just don't want to give up Butler. It is probably what will eventually get Thibs fired.

Pretty much. Somebody mentioned a couple pages ago that this was all just for show and I am beginning to believe it. They are making it look like an honest effort to trade Butler when Thibs has no intention of doing so.

Man, I said the same thing. He actually looked like he was in pretty good shape for a 38 year old with so many logged minutes. Took a while to recognize him with the new haircut. Not as pudgy as he once was either. Got a pretty warm reception.

He used to be money form the corner free throw line.

Sounds like a guy great for lockerroom morale.

I see what you are saying but this outburst seems to be symptomatic of his current situation. He has stated that he thinks his teammates aren't serious and are not giving max effort and that seems to be why he was challenging them.

I can't imagine him pulling a stunt like this on a team with Chris Paul leading the way.

Can't say I've ever heard of a player's practice being described as a "tour de force"

Rockets must be having trouble selling out opening night. I have gotten several emails and text offering cheap upper bowl tickets. Have to imagine an Astros home game has something to do with this.

Agreed, most people don't even know that the NBA exists until after January 1.

That thing is pretty cool but it is only for the first 3,000 fans. Certainly not going to stand in line 3 hours before tip off for it.

The Cavs will be interesting to watch this year.

Bill Simmons was making this argument on his podcast. Yes, LeBron is gone but they have a bunch of solid players and have been to 4 straight Finals. With the East being down, could still see them being a playoff team. Sexton is a wildcard.

What the hell is a ROKiT? I figured we were holding out for a top tier corporation as our on jersey sponsor.

Should've just thrown Landry's on there and called it a day.

Landry's would be a step up from a third tier phone company

Guessing their brand exposure will go up 10 fold due to this...
