  1. I say the Rockets should go ahead and pay the luxury tax. Les has made so much money, one year of paying this isn't gonna kill the team. I think we need to resign Artest for sure. Why anyone would question this is absurd unless he wanted the bank! Also, we need another center, not just a backup center, but a very good one, even one that is a starter. Maybe have Yao come off the bench. If we can get Emeka Okafor, that would be great. Give up Landry and Lowry or even Brooks for him if we can. Yao's contract is up after 2 more seasons i believe. Rockets shouldn't give him the max since he is injury prone. Playing for the Chinese National team is killing his career. Maybe the Rockets can provide some $$ to the Chinese Basketball Assoc to release Yao? After next season, T-Mac is off the Rocket's payroll, so they can go after DWade who is a free agent like Lebron. We can afford to pay DWade 20 mil/yr. The question is if he will want to come here. This might sound a bit too optimistic, but if T-Mac's knee makes great progess and he becomes the T-Mac of old, he can help us win that championship in 2nd half of season. He is expected to return around January.
  2. That's ok. Rockets had a great season. After next year, we can go after D Wade when he becomes a free agent. The Nuggets or Cavs will take care of the Lakers.
  3. Actually, i hope Kobe does go for 40 as long as the Rockets don't allow him to get his teammates involved. That will be a good sign for us. The key for us is limiting TURNOVERS and taking good shots. I also feel we should mix it up(going inside and also taking some 10-15 ft jumpers). Keep the Lakers guessing! The Rockets need to stick to their game plan of making Kobe take those jumpers and not penetrating to the hoop. We ca live with his 20-23 foot jumpers. If we lose by poor shooting, i can live with that, i just hate us having turnovers cause that doesn't give us any kind of shot. If we can keep this game close in the 4th quarter, you will see the Lakers kinda panic.
  4. The problem is that a flagrant 2 means automatic suspension for the next game. Unless the NBA uses common sense that was a hard foul, he will out for game 4. The bigger concern is Yao. Looks like he won't be playing. As well as the Lakers played, they never really put the Rox away. We still had our chances and it was like they were begging us to come back. The Rox can still make it interesting by winning tomorrow. Get rid of all those turnovers and BETTER DECISION making please!! I just want the Rox to push the Lakers to a 7th game so that Denver can crush them!
  5. Rockets will lose the series if they can't figure out a way to get the ball into Yao when he is fronted!
  6. You should apply at Chevron. Great environment! Quite a few Engineers that i knew at Exxon went over to Chevron. They like it much better!
  7. When i worked at Exxon, i heard many good things from the engineers and geologists. They do work hard, but get paid handsomely!! Stressful, but worth it. Unfortunately, i worked in the IT area and my experience was not positive. I was a contractor which made it worse, but even some of the employees didn't really like the atmosphere and culture in UTEC(believe their name has changed) at the time.
  8. their best win of the year tonight against the celtics!!!
  9. Unfortunately, if we decide to trade him, most likely we won't be able to get anything comparable in return. He is damaged goods.
  10. Is Von Wafer going to be our next gem?
  11. Where is this place located exactly? Any pics?
  12. It could be one of those 'knee' injuries just to keep him on the roster in case Rafer or Aaron goes down. I'm pretty sure he is healed up by now. It is nice to have a job paying you $5million to sit all day!
  13. Brooks played a great defensive game against CP3 tonight. Heck, the Rockets played great tonight. I guess the question is which Rockets team will show up night in and night out.
  14. There is a sense that the good old days of high oil and gasoline prices are gone, but there is still optimism..cautious one i should say. Obviously, most of them voted for McCain, but they realize that Obama would come in and not be so favorable to the oil companies. My co-workers are just waiting to see what happens.
  15. Can't believe we lost to the undermanned Spurs last night!
  16. Don't be surprised if Deke comes out of retirement later in the season.
  17. yes, it is about health. just remember, battier is still out, so when he returns, it is going to get better. he is the kobe stopper!!! do we know if deke will return?
  18. Was it Savoy House or Houston House that was in the movie Urban Cowboy? The place that John Travolta stayed. He took that gal he met in a bar to his hi-rise apartment.
  19. I had some pizza by Daves pizza.... which was ordered by my boss and it was one of the worst pizzas i've ever had.
  20. Is that Cali Sandwiches shop still open? I didn't see the sign anymore when i drove by?
  21. Assuming they're healthy, they can go all the way!!! It is all about health man!!!
  22. He's too short to play center. Lots of centers will eat him alive.
  23. We seriously need to find a good backup center. Deke might not come back.
  24. Did they ever find the killer of a Harris County deputy who was apparently abducted at that mall and ended up in one of those 20 gallon drums?
  25. Is that a great view of downtown or what!!Acutally, i think it was 3rd floor.
