    The Rockets "Big 2" went from...

    K-Mart and Lowry...

    To potentially Gasol and Nene...

    To potentially Lin and Howard (on a rental)...

    To Lin and Harden...

    To Harden and Howard. Somehow the BY FAR best scenario came about. Still unreal to me.

    >Excited about pick & roll with Jeremy Lin
    >Doesn't wish to talk about past (with Lakers)
    >Thinks he's in the right place to win a few rings and go down as one of the best to ever play.

    I wonder what Mike D'Antoni thinks of Dwight's talk about looking forward to playing pick and rolls.

    Dwight really just wanted a younger, less b****y Kobe.

    Yes, totally agree. And that Rockets were able to do that, and gather a pretty nice supporting cast for Harden and Howard at same time.

    I had a dream last night where the Rockets were blown out in the season opener 72-some large number, and Dwight was the main culprit going 4/39 from the field. :grin:

    If this is a clever reverse jinx where, in reality, the Rockets will blow out the Bobcats by 72 with Dwight going for 39/40 for 78 points....

    Then I like you.:grin:

    I think he should shoot underhand, even if his problems are primarily due to a mental blockage at the free throw line.

    Here's hoping Dwight get to at least 90% of his former self + smarter. I believe he can be the monster player he can be just like last time. I'm excited to see those alley-hoops from Harden and JLin and the monster put-backs and the quick passes to Parsons and our other snipers. I hope he can work perfectly with Asik. That'll really make this season a near perfect season. Oh well, still less than 3 months to go...
