Well, its that time again, the NBA Season is upon us, and the Rockets are poised to make a run at the title, there armed and ready to roll. Here's the Training Camp Roster: 11 C Yao Ming 15 C/PF Joey Dorsey 55 C Dikembe Mutombo 14 PF Carl Landry 4 PF Luis Scola 44 PF Chucky Hayes 96 SF Ron Artest 31 SF Shane Battier 19 SF Mike Harris 1 SG Tracy McGrady 17 SG Brent Barry 2 SG Luther Head 12 PG Rafer Alston 0 PG Aaron Brooks 3 PG Steve Francis --- PG D.J. Strawberry and then theres some guys Named Marcus Campbell and Von Wafer, they round out the roster anyway, the only thing worrying me is 1.) Health and 2.) Backup PG spot, is Brooks ready or will Francis hold up.

Tough Loss, last night.
I love the Efforts from Yao and Wafer.

LMAO at Hollywood only having these 2 little lines to comment about the Lakers beating the Rox, but plenty to say about the Lakers/spurs game.

What do want me to say we were missing 2 of our starters.
Yao dominated Bynum (11pts 1 freeking reb)
Landry showed LA49er, why we love him.
Wafer played out of his mind.
Kobe hit a long 3.
Rafer choked two free throws.

I thought we would get beat a lot worse, but like i said I love the efforts.

It's still funny.

I've always liked Landry. I just don't think he's a "budding star". He had a great game though.

Yay, I finally got to see a Rox game ( I guess CLE was off??), and they won! Joy. Offense sure looked more fluid w/o Yao clogging the paint, but no one can shoot 3s like that consistently.

Made easier by the fact Detroit doesn't have a C either. Personally I was hoping TMac wouldn't be seen until after the ASG. This team is plugging along fine w/o him for the time being and could make a push late, like all Houston teams.
