Dampier isn't even signed yet. They'll have to trade/cut Jermaine Taylor first.

And yes, as far as I know Lowry will be good to go.

Where do you find these girls

Google. Safe Search off.

Let me be honest here.. Yao will be rusty as heck out there! Maybe not, as he's a superstar.. but still. Let's see if he's back to form.

I watched a bit of that Nuggets/Hornets game

I'd run most, if not all the offense through Scola. There's no way Shelden Williams can guard him.
Maybe it's just his big head, I don't know, but the guy looks so confused out there.
You can see he's working hard and giving his best, but he's simply isn't very good. No real defensive awareness, doesn't really box out, sets a lot of moving screens (which of course never get called), just runs around on offense setting random screens. He's also very slow in transition and his conditioning seems questionable.

He does however crash the boards any time he gets a chance, so you'll have to box him out.

Home opener. Should win.

when was the last time we started 0-3?

It was the the '99-'00 season when the Rockets started 0-5

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH its on NBATV

Intros are getting me pumped!

Wow they introduced Jermain Taylor?

I missed it

Yao made three baskets so far. Maybe they will limit his minutes, but give him the ball a lot while he's on the floor.

Why are you going away from Yao on the Block? It's the only thing that is working.

Thank you Lowry.

Yao looking good. Best i've seen him this season.

LOL Kevin Martin did the Flop players try to draw on Yao coming up the court

Seem the defense tighten when Lowry is in.
