Hey! I'm new on this board and I'm asian! (Surprise surprise why I'm on the houston board) And guess what? I love Yao Ming (surprise again) One additional fact is that I'm Chinese. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the connection eh? Lol btw here are some little facts.

Name: Ivan Pei Lai-Hung (as in username)
Occupation: College Student
Hobbies: Basketball, WATCHING soccer (can't play for nuts), Magic The gathering (geeky I know), computer games....
Height and position: 5'11 or so, still growing (hopefully, just an inch away from being a 6 footer).
Position: In a team I play SF. But for fun i play point centre (like every other tall guy with decent handle and court vision, asians are shorter mind you). I have horrible hops though with decent lateral quickness. I'm more of a catch and shoot guy who handles and passes the ball in a real match.
Location: Malaysia. Familiar? No? Not surprised, we're not really on the map right now. Our arch rival- Singapore is hogging all the spotlight.
Favourite team: Houston... I mean, 1st round, 1st pick CHINESE draft pick, who else am I supposed to support? PLUS he has the potential to LEAD a team to a title not just sit on the bench and spend the millions he earns.
Favourite player: Yao... as explained above. Lebron- A kid straight out of high school that can fly and dunk? Not surprising. But one with court vision and crazy passing skills? Now thats special. 28/7/6 as a sophomore is crazy as well.

I've been hanging around the houston boards for a while and thought about joining but did'nt have the time. Well now I'm here and I hope everyone is all psyched up for the season cause I am. For once we have a championship worthy- looking team by getting Alston at PG for a complete team (hopefully). PS: notice the "looking". Nothing is proven till the season starts. Alston/Barry/Tmac/Stro/Yao is wicked. We have great half court offense and have the potential to run like Phoenix (hopefully) with Alston on at the point dishing assists for Mac and Stro to dunk it all the way to ESPN's highlight reel. Whoooooo!!! GO HOUSTON!!! Now if only we could pull a Larry Hughes... Now that would be a crazy offseason. Haha I better just continue dreaming. Doesn't look like its gonna happen anytime soon. Luther head looks good. He reminds me of Manu Ginobili. Hopefully he turns out like Manu.

Hi, I'm new to the board. I'm a lot older than most of the people I've seen here, but my passion for the Rockets is very strong. Looking forward to a great season. There were people in the tunnel (downtown Houston) giving out "Live It" DVDs along with a schedule. I'm ready for the season to start!

WELCOME PIMPED OUT!!!

[lsmoreno56]

Thank you Pimped Out for the nice welcome. I'm very familiar with the Astros and Texans boards, but it took me a while to find this one for the Rockets. Now that I've found it, I'll be reading and posting regularly. I sure hope this board doesn't get the amount of trolls the Astros board has been having. It's hard to have a decent discussion with all those lamebrain comments that are thrown into the mix.

GO ROCKETS!!!
