I take Ron Artest over Ariza any day. Artest does have a tendency to throw up bad shot, but overall he is way better player than Ariza.

You're right about our overachieving bunch. Hopefully we'll defy the
odds if we just slide into the lottery and somehow get the #1 pick, or
at least top 5.

As far as steakhouses in Houston go, Pappas Strakhouse is good and is
a Houston-based restaurant, unlike Fleming's or Ruth's Chris.
Truluck's is good, too.

BTW, the Rockets won't be lottery-bounded - that's the curse of an always over-achieving, fighting bunch like them, and that's why we love them anyway.

The couple of last seasons we were in the already in the similar situation (without our stars).

Anyway, I'm gonna visiting Houston in September and October, anyone could recommend a good Steakhouse? I'll definitely go to Yao's Restaurant which got some good ratings on Google.

Go Rockets, go Yao. I have a good feeling for the foot.

The only advantage is his age, only 24, which is good for the future.

Poor Rockets are rebuilding all the time. Better build for the lottery this time.

We took a step up with this move. Glad to see Artest gone. He's now LA's curse. Genius! We took a step up with this move. Glad to see Artest gone. He's now LA's curse.
