Anyone catch the Rockets blasting off?

[KJ3]

you know, there was a time when chuck-wagon hayes started. a time when figuring out who the third best player was would've required a caculator and some time. now it's like, who's going to be the 9th/10th guys in the rotations?

luther head is truly awful. i hope von wafer makes it over head.

[papabear]

only saw a minute or two of the game last night. The only observation I have is Ron Artest has a really nice porn-stash. I never noticed that before.

[KJ3]

indeed. i didn't see the beginning of the last game so i was wondering if anybody could tell me how artest/yao played with mcgrady too?

i'll bet mcgrady has a load of his shoulders, which is good because he can barely stand as it is. if he doesn't feel like he has to score every point in the game i think he'll be just fine.

i did, however, see that luther head continues his "suck across america" campaign. more like cam-pain. he has poor handles, atrocious passes and a hell of a 3 point shot. CUT!

I was hoping we could sucker someone into trading a second round draft pick or backup center for Luther. it is nice to have plenty of options beyond Yao and McGrady finally.

[KJ3]

what's more is that we've traded novak who i thought had a pretty similar skill set: only good standing at the 3.

i didn't see last night's game but if luther head played, i'll bet he was awful again. his passes are about as good as a bad high school teams'.

I didn't even realize Von Wafer was brought in to camp. Shows how much time i've had as of late. Anyway, I didn't get to see much of him in college, but we played against him in high school. He went to Heritage christian in Cleveland, tx, a 1A school of 31 students that got kicked out of tapps for winning their state championship in 02 by 100 points. Cedrick Hensley was on that team to, the kid that scored 100 points in a game on the same night that, shoot, who was it? Melo? did. That's neither here nor there. Kid's an athlete. He jumped clear over, and i mean as if he were a rack of balls in the slam dunk contest, our 6'1" point guard to catch an alley-oop. sickest play I've ever seen, and I saw about 40 games of willowridge's glory years. Of course, we've had pure athletes before (gerald green) and how did that turn out?

I am so excited about the depth on this team. When was the last time we were legitimately 3 deep at any one position, much less the power forward? Artest is fitting in great, McGrady looks super comfortable knowing that he's not going to have to pour in 40 a night to get a W, and with the depth on this team, with all its scoring threats, we should see a lot of blowout wins, which means limited minutes for our porcelin twins in T-Mac and Yao. If we can keep them healthy, we're the team to beat out west, for sure.

[KJ3]

strawberry impressed too. i love defensive guys but he can slash and score too. guess what? both strawberry and wafer are gunning for the backup 2 spots...where luther head currently sucks. both guys are also bigger than head. wafer shot the lights out, that last 3 was cold as ice. brooks was all over the court too.

i really don't want luther head hahahaha....

anyway, you're totally right SBB, the glassman and oww should both be healthy this year. they gave yao off last night too. matt bullard said mcgrady should pony up to the next two games to get in shape because he's a little overweight. burn.
