apparently franchise had a meeting with orlando a day or so before the trade. they gave him the 'we're serious about rebuilding', and showing off that dwight howard kid. with stevie's history of not signing i'm sure orlando made that apart of the deal.

fuck francis after what he did to vancouver... made it even harder for us to survive as an nba franchise... i hope he never gets into the playoffs again

i love this: tmac and yao. the underrated player is juwan howard. he's a solid 3rd scoring option... houston needed another big man alongside yao, cuz kelvin cato's offence was pathetic, and clarence weatherspoon is more of a bench player anyway.

most of rockets' success depends on t-mac though, cuz he wont be able to dominate the ball all the time now since jeff van gundy is the coach. can t-mac adjust to this? will he actually get up and play D?

and who's gonna run point? tyronn lue? mark jackson? we'll see....

maybe rockets can advance to second round, but that's it... unless yao and t-mac can actually co-exist, and yao starts to become more aggressive

whatever... IMF bitches!
