That was ghetto just like Les fielding a call during the Green/Dorsey press conference.

I wonder who that was.

Of course the players are excited. Why wouldnt they be?

"Tracy said it's been hard to sleep because he's so excited"

HELL YES !!! T-Mac is fired up and you know what that means!!! I know I know... hes been fired up before but honestly guys this is the first time we've had an entire roster full of quality roll players around him and Yao.

Here let me fix that for you Rocketsterps...

PG: Rafer Alston / Brent Barry / Aaron Brooks
SG: Tracy McGrady / Steve Francis / Luther Head
C: Yao Ming / Mount Mutombo / Joey Dorsey
SF: Ron Artest / Shane Battier
PF: Luis Scola / Carl Landry / Chuck Hayes / Steve Novak

Let me fix that for both of you:
(Rotation minute guys in first cluster, spot minute guys in second cluster)

Alston/Barry / McGrady|Artest/Francis/Brooks
McGrady/Battier/Artest / Barry/Head/Francis
McGrady/Battier/Artest / Barry/Landry
Scola/Landry (fingers crossed)/ Hayes/Dorsey
Yao/The Mount/Dorsey

Funny as Sh**, was timed perfectly. Got the puzzled pause from the guy interviewing him and everything.

Ron will feel like home in the Rockets, Rafer, Tmac, Rick! great.

Alston/Barry / McGrady|Artest/Francis(guy is terrible)/Brooks
McGrady/Battier/Artest / Barry/Head/Francis(guy is terrible)
McGrady/Battier/Artest / Barry/Landry
Scola/Landry (fingers crossed)/ Hayes/Dorsey
Yao/The Mount/Dorsey

Fixed once and for all.

Oh and screw Mickey D's, it's all about the Wendy's. Sure, she might be jailbait, but she tastes damn good.

Nice to see Rafer's head is in the right place. Too bad his body isn't. The fat **** should be in the gym, not McDonald's.

Let me give this lineup fixing a try:

C - who frickin'
PF - cares we got
SF - Ron Artest
SG - and
PG - kept

6 - Battier

Alston,McGrady,Artest,Scola,Yao start.
Barry backs up Alston,Head gets spot minutes. Brooks gets garbage-time minutes.
Battier is Sixth man,relieving T-Mac,Artest,and starting the 10-15 games McGrady will miss.
Artest and Battier will get some miutes at the 4 when other teams go small,or defending the more perimeter oriented 4s(Dirk,Lamar,etc.)
Initially Hayes and hopefully quickly Dorsey will become the third big,providing defense to balance Yao/Scola's scoring. Motumbo will again be that axe up on the wall behind the glass you only break in case of emergencies,w/an occassional sighting againsta Shaq,maybe Oden or Dwight. This is where you'd figure Landry would be the energy fourth big,but I'm gonna continue my run of extraordinarily wrong predictions and state landry won't be on the roster when the season starts. Maarty Leunen gets the sixth big spot and sees spot minutes spacing the floor and when the team needs 3pt shooters for a last shot.
Francis starts the season dazzling one and all w/his suits,praying one of the guards gets injured. If the team stays relatively healthy it puts Steve out of his misery and buys him off so he can join the Clippers.That's 14. Harris prob goes to D-League to get minutes and be available in case of injury.
