In the midst of all the season previews, there is one prevailing theme: the Houston Rockets are going to be very, very interesting this year. Win or lose, this team now has personality.
A year ago, the roster was rather bland. People were mostly unfamiliar with Scola; Tracy and Yao were not exactly Agent Zero level personalities; Chuck Hayes was good, but bland (okay, he's still kinda bland which only amazes me more that he's got a Chinese shoe contract); Rafer not only sucked but was uninteresting in the process. And the only player with personality on the bench was Dikembe. Who didn't play much. Bonzi Wells was the most boring crazy person ever...
but something changed.
Now we have Crazy Pills.
We have a white dude who also used to be a Slam Dunk Champ.
We have a rookie that may or may not be addicted to strip clubs.
Alston at least is now interesting when he f--ks up.
Yao is engaging in beer drinking competitions.
Yes -- you read that right. Yao... beer... how freakin' awesome is that?!?!?
One thing I know - I will never lack for material this year.

I expect to win... with flair!

Don't understand the comment about strip clubs. If you are referring to the Plush Club in Memphis, despite the name, its a dance club/bar, not a strip club.
Let's just say I know some people with connections to the Memphis Men's basketball team. After we got Dorsey, they relayed on MANY stripper stories. Alas, I couldn't find a "SFW" link to a Dorsey/stripper moment. So I linked to one where he was accused of making it rain.
