brijonmang Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 What the hell is Wilson doing on the "wind up" photo"? He's looking toward left field.yeahhh...im pretty sure hes waiting on a throw from one of the outfielders. Clemens is just warming up between innings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProHouston Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) So, with the preseason starting in 2 short weeks I thought it was time to begin the new Rockets season thread.Will the addition of Battier and possible addition of Bonzi Wells be enough to get the Rockets back on track? They were horrible last year but Yao and Tracy were both injured. I think if they're both healthy it doesn't matter who is around them, we'll be in the playoffs. However, to make it past the first round and hopefully further I think we really need a solid 3rd and 4th option. Battier helps, but we need at least one more. Bonzi would be good, though Mike James would've been great! Oh well, that ship has sailed.I pick the Rockets to finish 5th in the West behind SA, Phoenix, Dallas, and LA. Anyone else?

DJ V Lawrence Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 It's great to finally have a third star on our team in Battier, but the Rockets REALLY could use a player like Wells to give them a dangerous and competitive backcourt. I read in the Chronicle before that Wells may be a long-shot because of salary.Either way, the Rockets' faith depends on injuries again. If McGrady and/or Yao Ming get hurt as often as they did last year, the team's gonna be leaning on Battier. It's anyone's guess how they'll hold up with just one guy stepping up. Last year, no one did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ V Lawrence Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 We got Bonzi Wells!!!!2-Year, $5 Million deal. AND we have Battier, Alston, McGrady, and Yao Ming to expect as starters. Sounds like a good team on paper. Let's see how they come up. Also, does our bench look strong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProHouston Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 This will definitely be a make or break year for JVG. If he can't win with these players, then it's time for new blood. I think we're a contender with this addition, as long as we stay healthy.This is good, now I can look forward to the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're a contender with this addition, as long as we stay healthy.This is good, now I can look forward to the season!I heard about the bench earlier on the radio. We picked up two shooters in Steve Novak and Chris Jacobsen (who I'm not sure I've heard about, but they're supposed to be accurate at 3-point range, and we'll find out if that's true in the regular season). What I DO know is that we picked up a BADASS player in our star from Greece. Valsiregteimnvrdji Spanoileinfous or something like that. He's a physical dude, and scored more points than anyone on the Greek team when they beat our American team. To have him, plus American star Battier sounds NASTY on paper, but if they can bring that energy to the Rockets, we could be talkin' post-season.Are there any other free-agents out there to look for, and what else would the Rockets be looking for? They sound like they have a dominant starting line-up AND bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if they could just keep it up and STAY HEALTHY While it's true that we beat the Spurs, Duncan, Parker, and Ginobli didn't even make the trip. So I wouldn't say we truly beat them. We look pretty good at times, I'm just worried that our chemistry will lack and we'll have a very slow start. I'm predicting 8-12 to start and then they'll kick it in. The bad thing is that you know Dallas and SA will start off strong, their successful nucleus hasn't changed. Oh well, I still think we'll get #3 or #4 in the West this season!

ProHouston Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 What the heck was that last night? I know they're gonna start off slow, but damn. That first half was terrible! We couldn't even rely on our defense.I sure hope they come around, I think they will, I'm just not sure I can hang around that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ V Lawrence Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 They have the talent to blow out ANY team in the league. I think Van Gundy's job is on the line if the record doesn't improve soon. I think he can thank Miami for not being the biggest disapointment Opening Night. I'm expecting at least 55 wins with this line-up. Execute, yo...

RedScare Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Just in case y'all may have missed it among all the hoopla over the Texans and Dynamo, the Rockets just blew out Miami by 22 points AT Miami.

KimberlySayWhat Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 What is JVG always chewing on during the games? Something I've always wondered but never asked. It looks like maybe a jawbreaker or a piece of ice. JVG doesn't seem like the type who would eat jawbreakers. I once heard that he eats M&Ms and drinks Diet Coke all day long, but his mouth is open too wide to be eating M&Ms. I'm not trying being to silly, this is an sincere question.

ProHouston Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Well, here we are 6-3, coming off a win, and disappointed. I guess that's a good sign. It shows expectations are changing. I really expected our first 10 games to end 4-6 and here we are with 6 wins in 9 games. Let's keep a positive outlook, I think this team is ahead of schedule. Once Bonzi gets into shape, Chuck Hayes comes back from injury, and T-Mac returns to his old self, this team will be unbeatable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the way he contorts his mouth looks like someone who has a piece of hard candy or ice between the back of their top and bottom teeth. The same way a dog looks when its chewing on a raw hide bone or something. ProHouston:Well, here we are 6-3, coming off a win, and disappointed. I guess that's a good sign.

houstonfella Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I guess it is me. However .... I don't think T-Mac will be the champion we hoped he would be. I think he is self-centered and lazy. It's probably just my thoughts. Anybody else think that way? Here he is 27 years old and thinking about retiring at 30. Give me a friggin' break.

DJ V Lawrence Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Man, the Rockets gave the Bobcats a beating tonight! 92-62! The lowest points allowed in Rockets history! And that's a week after holding Cleveland back to 63 the night McGrady had a concussion. Good grief!!http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/6254352From Charlotte's Adam Morrison:"That's the worst game I've ever played in my life," said Morrison, who in the past three games has eight points on 3-of-26 shooting.
