  1. It seemed like Chase was being really careful to make the show appear to be filmed in Houston. They have a lot of aerial downtown shots, they always venture out to nearby neighborhoods/towns (e.g., The Woodlands, Galveston, Sealy, River Oaks, etc.). However, last night's show clearly showed a downtown Dallas skyscraper in the background of the image. I was a little surprised to see this obvious Dallas evidence in the show that tries so hard to be set in Houston. Oh well, as I said a while back, I'd rather have a show filmed in Dallas and set in Houston than have a show filmed in Houston but set in Dallas. It's like the producers are saying that Dallas isn't cool enough for the setting of the show, they have to pretend to be the cooler city to the south to make a compelling show. A slap in the face to Dallas if you ask me.
  2. Wow, nobody has been keeping up with Sugar Land Town Square. It's booming...still. They are adding more office space and retail/restaurant tenants continue to come aboard or expand. New businesses opening in Sugar Land Town Square
  3. Neither was available when the Texans picked at 20. I think they got a solid Cornerback which, along with Running Back, was the biggest need. Hopefully we can get a good Running Back today in Round 2.
  4. Let's please not get into this again. Read the full thread and your question is answered several times.
  5. I am a big fan, but yet cautiously optimistic. I have been fooled by the Texans before. While I do believe they can win on Monday and win several more to reach the playoffs, I don't have much confidence in them game to game. They are easily startled, and while they've been coming back in these games (Arizona, Indy), it's too late to take over and win. The Texans absolutely need to land the first punch Monday, we haven't scored on an opening drive all year, that's not the makings of a playoff team. I really hope we can turn the corner but it seems just as likely that we end up 8-8 or 9-7 and miss the playoffs.
  6. There is no excuse for the way this team took the field. They've had months to prepare, months to "be ready," month's to gameplan. This was a disgusting loss and embarrassing to every Texan on the field and sideline. If I was any member of the coaching staff, I'd lock myself in my office until next Sunday when I could attempt to make this right. The sad thing is that it will probably be worse vs. the Titans this Sunday.
  7. Von Wafer has signed a 2yr deal with Olympiacos of Greece. I'm sure this is a result of not seeing eye-to-eye with Rockets management. However, I really wish there wasn't a falling out as we could really use his services this year with all our injuries.
  8. Sadly that's not a fair trade. I think this move will hurt us the most. Artest was the reason we made it to the second round this year. We've been needing his toughness and swagger for a long time, now it's gone. I'm sad to say that without Yao for 1/2 the season, without Gortat (looks like Mavs), and no Artest, we're gonna hurt.
  9. This gets more interesting, I did a google search and I believe the account I mentioned is the real account though his agent came out saying that it's a fake. I think Ron was messing around and really tweeted that he was leaving and now his agent is covering up. I got the account name I referenced from the Rockets Twitter feed so I'm pretty confident it's real.
  10. That "tweet" wasn't from his account, it was an imposter account. His account username is "96TruwarierQB" if you want to follow him (of course you can't believe everything he says here either). There are no signs that he wants to leave Houston at this point, actually he's said the opposite. However, it will be difficult to sign him as he wants a lot of money and longer than a year contract. The Rockets hope to sign him to one year.
  11. <ProHouston puts his hand in the face of anyone who talks smack about DoubleDaves>. Though I will admit that I've never had Dolce Vita. My fav is Pepperoni's though, but watch out, it can only be had in the far southwest "exurbs" of Sugar Land and the like
  12. I think it's time we start the official thread for the new season as the draft has ended and the free agent signing period has begun. I know there are a lot of tough questions for Morey right now, but I'm sure he'll come through with another great group of guys to add to our favorite NBA team that pushed the Lakers to 7 games. Personally, I'd love to see Chris Bosh in a Rockets uni, but I'd be afraid to see what we'd have to give up to make it happen. I really like our bench and role players, and that hasn't been true in many years.
  13. I don't recall a "watercoaster" but the site the OP is asking about was definitely not Celebration Station. It didn't come along until much later. I remember taking batting practice in elementary school at the park mentioned by the OP. But Celebration Station wasn't built until I was in high school, if not later. I also think the OPs site is further south than Celebration Station, closer to Richie.
  14. I disagree on many fronts. For one, I don't suggest trading our young guys who were handpicked by Morey and are growing into their roles very well. If you have been watching our guys for several years, you know that our problem has always been the bench. Well, we finally have a bench, let's not trade them away. Secondly, Yao will never be a back up. Limit his minutes, sure, but he's not a spark plug that needs to come off the bench. I say we go after a free agent or package some "ride the pine" guys for a trade. I can't think of any besides Brent Barry though. Or Tmac. I think you keep this team intact and give them more than 30-40 games starting together and we'll improve organically. Not sure what to do with TMac. If he can ever come back healthy he might help, but his attitude and injury issues make me not want to deal with him ever again. You don't pick another team to get to the finals as long as your team is still in the playoffs. Also, where has he been? He should be traveling with the team and sitting there at the end of the bench every game just like Yao and Deke.
  15. Do y'all think Yao would've been injured if Deke hasn't had his career-ending injury early in the playoffs? He could've taken some of Yao's minutes and maybe mitigated his risk of injury.
  16. In the first series against Portland as well.
  17. What a game, what a team? When was the last time we saw a Houston team fight like this and have this much heart? It's been a LONG time, ok, maybe the 'stros on the World Series run, but it's been 12 years for the Rox. Thank you Darryl Morey and Rick Adelman for making this a fun playoff push! And thank you to Battier, Brooks, Landry, Scola... for your heart and team first attitude. Poor Kobe and Phil....
  18. Now that's an interesting fact.
  19. What are you expecting? As citykid mentioned, BCS is maybe a 1/4 million during the fall/spring. At least they are working on a vision plan for 10-15 years out. Not sure where the condescension is coming from.
  20. Toyota Center also. The court is below street level. I wanna say the Astrodome field is below street level as well. Anyone remember?
  21. Congrats to the Rockets!!!! This team deserves to get that monkey off their back. I just hope we compete against the Lakers.
  22. BIG, Big, big win last night! Now we just need 1 of the next 3. It'd be great to close it out early and get some rest.
  23. I'm on board too, but I am nervous about how we play when everything doesn't go just right. We couldn't have played better than game 1 so be prepared for a closer game tonight.
  24. Why is it so hard to be a Rox fan? We had a #2 or #3 seed in our hands, then we CHOKE and end up #5 and playing on the road. Now, even if (and that's a big IF) we can win our first playoff series in 10+years, we'll still get annihilated by the Lakers in round 2. We should have won last night which would have allowed us to avoid the Lakers in round 2, but no... we had to CHOKE. This team could use about 20 more regular season games to prepare for the playoffs. This group hasn't had enough time together yet. I just want a first round win, is that too much to ask?
