I remember earlier in the season he tweaked his ankle in the TS Lightspeeds and then switched into something else. I think it might have been the T-Mac 6's.

Looks like T-Mac 7 sucks for him.

But those shoes that he plays now look really fine during game but on this photo - they are awful

there's no T-Mac 7
adidas changed their stuff to Team Signature instead of individual signature to support their slogan last year (it takes 5ive)
so it's all about team
(i wonder why Billups still wearing his signature shoes)

I've been so busy lately roosk that I havent had much time to hang out on these boards. Glad to see your promotion. I've maintained my unwaivering love for my rockets, but I really hope we can make a Free Agent splash this year or over the summer. I've read numerous times where Arenas has mentioned LA and Hou as his 2 fav destinations and now that LA has Pau... I know it could be a pipe dream but Arenas on this squad qould be ideal. PG with size speed who can dish or create for himself and others. Proven that he can not only get along but thrive with 2 other 20 pt scorers and would set the leaqgue on fire with his 3 pt shooting. With Yao and Mac on the court hed be hitting around 45 percent from 3 pt line easy. He;s also said countless times that he'd be willing to take quite the pay cut to play for a championship team. Also good looks on the Pirannah 2. I've been wondering what those were 4 a while.

Thanks man mod has been lots of fun so far; I'm certainly enjoying it. If you have business to attend to then do your thing, but whenever you have free time don't be a stranger around here :D

As for Arenas, I've heard him mention Houston and LA too, but did he really say he'd take a paycut? If Arenas was on the Rockets then wow...I can only dream. However, I don't think Les would cough up that money, but you never know. I also hope we make a splash sooner than later. The WC is unbelievably stacked, and if we manage to make the playoffs then another 1st round exit would lead to a very stressful and rumor-filled summer. I'm hoping we can get someone like Bibby without trading any major rotational players because I don't think this team as is can advance in the WC. Oh well though, we'll have to wait til the trade deadline. It's certainly great to see you around the boards again.

Yeah I remember him mentioning Houston but I think that was earlier in the season when everybody had high expectations of us. We're not championship contenders but if he came here we would be. I wouldn't put much merit in it but I suppose with Arenas anything is possible.

I'd think it's more an act. Arenas likes to talk a lot, just like Mac, and sometimes doesn't really think before he speaks, but saying that, it'd be frickin awesome if he came, but most likely unrealistic.

I agree with TMACFORMVP, a lot of talk... I still remember T-Mac during a recent Dan Patrick interview.

DP: "So you think Kobe Bryant is better than you?"
McGrady: "... I don't say nobody's better than me."

</rant>

Yeah, but I'd only want Arenas if he accepted a pay cut.

Return to Houston Rockets
