    Seems like a really, really long wait.

    As for the opponent, well, it ain't going to be anything like the playoffs:
    Huh. The "Aaron Brooks and Trevor Ariza Show!"

    Not exactly terrifying....

    I admit.. this off-season was a LOT shorter than last years... last years took FOREVER! But that could also be cause they played for 2 more weeks :P

    I expect to see Oden pushing Andersen around all game.

    Andersen is weaker than a limp lettuce leaf.

    I wonder if people will remember Ariza after all that's going on with our team. I keep forgetting about that side story to this game.

    Houston has 5 starters who could come off the bench for most teams in the league.

    Houston's roster by height

    David Anderson 6'11"
    Brian Cook 6'9"
    Carl Landry 6'9"
    Luis Scola 6'9"
    Pops Mensah-Bonsu 6'9"
    Tracy McGrady 6'8"
    Trevor Ariza 6'8"
    Shane Battier 6'8"
    Joey Dorsey 6'8"
    Chase Budinger 6'7"

    Notice something missing?

    the answer: two people over 6'9" aka Joel will dominate!

    If Joel's gonna dominate, then Oden is going to crush his enemies, see them driven before him and hear the lamentations of their women!

    I understand that. But outside Anderson, who is over 6'9" to get to two?

    Gramps...

    Doh! It must be past my bedtime. I missed the "What is missing" part.

    Sometimes I'm just a bit clueless. :crazy:
