As a person who has lived in Houston for 29 years and followed sports for atleast 24 of those years I have to let you around the world in on a secret.....
THE ROCKETS SUCK!!!!!
January 4th 1999 - The day WCW injected itself with 10 gallons of Liquid Anthrax...AKA...The day Hogan "Defeated" Nash to win the WCW title in front of 40,000.
Not as much of a secret as it used to be. Glen Rice was a horrible signing and if any team has a good Towel Boy, we will take him for our 7 million dollar a year center Kelvin Cato. We have some young talent, and in 2-3 years we will be in the playoffs, but right now we are horrrrible!!!

Get rid of Rice + start Langhi = winning season for Rockets!! He hasn't had one minute of "meaningful" (not garbage minutes) floortime since he's been there. I saw this guy play for 4 years in college and he's the complete package (execept for maybe on defense). He outshined last year's rookie of the year, Mike Miller of Florida, everytime they went head to head in college...I swear I'm not biased!! (go Vandy!)

I agree about Langhi, but he is in Rudy T's doghouse and once you get there you will be the 12th man. Sam Cassell was in that same role and look at him now.

I agree...asking to be traded when you have ZERO trade value couldn't have helped...I hope once the Rockets officially get eliminated from playoff contention (any day now), he'll get to contribute. But just recently when Rice came off IR, they put Langhi on IR in his place. HE'S NOT EVEN HURT FOR CHRISSAKES!

Yeah, Langhi is definitely paying the price for those comments. I just know that it is said going to the Laptop (Compaq Center) and watching the Rockets try so hard and still lose. It doesn't help that there are only 7,000 people in the stands. Oh well, atleast we will have the Texans next year.

You guys must hate Nashville down there...First we swipe the Oilers, then you waste a draft pick on a Vandy player who hasn't panned out yet. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Barbara Mandrell's tour bus ends up running over Jeff Bagwell. I think karma is catching up with us though...the Titans missed the playoffs, and Vandy...well, they're just Vandy. Here's hoping the Texans are a successful franchise for years to come (except against the Titans!).

Well, as far as draft picks, the Rockets have not exactly had a good record in that department. Most players were4 Euros who have never and will never play in the NBA or flashes in the pan who aren't in the NBA or overpaid scrubs on the Rockets. Cato and Mobley fall into the latter category.
The Texans will suck for a few years, we can accept that. Especially when we have that swank new stadium with the retractable roof.
