Melo

Melo sounded so defeated talking about coming off the bench. I think the deal they made with him is going to be he comes off the bench but he also gets to close. Just a prediction tho, we will see how it shakes out tomorrow.

Glad to hear Michael Carter “AYEEEEEE” Williams is doing good

Haven’t been able to catch any preseason from these dumbass blackouts and the Astros playing simultaneously.

Should be a fun ride, I will enjoy drinking the tears of the GSW fans once we bubble wrap CP3 until game 7 and kick them in the dikks.

I think the media will make a much bigger deal about it than it needs to be, because that's what the media does.

All we're going to hear about in the nationally televised games: Melo off the bench, Melo's attitude, Melo's baggage, Melo's defense, Melo in this system, blah blah.

Ppl were ready to knock houston down to 3-4th seed status after picking up Melo and losing Ariza... but then they saw our boys in the preseason and just like that we're back to being firmly #2 in the West behind GSW.

At the end of this season none of this will matter. It’s the worst kept secret in the world that Melo is only making a pit stop show here to collect his ring, solidify his hall of fame status, then continue on the Finesse World Tour Volume 2 for some bread from a dumbass non competitive team that wants to put butts in seats with Carmelo’s name.

Ya'll got a sponsorship patch now

HOUSTON – The Houston Rockets today announced a multi-year partnership with ROKiT Phones (“ROKiT”) that includes designating ROKiT as the Rockets’ inaugural jersey partner. Among other elements of the agreement, the ROKiT logo badge will be featured on all Rockets player jerseys beginning with the current, 2018-2019 season.

Launched in August of this year as a subsidiary of ROK Brands, ROKiT is a challenger cell phone startup. Reflecting its end-user values of connectedness, well-being and security, ROKiT offers a variety of “humanity-first” IO Collection cell phone bundles: feature-laden, cutting-edge phones that include access to free telemedicine, pharmacy discounts, family legal services and other lifestyle-enhancing offerings at prices that make them affordable for everyone. Moreover, in time for the holidays, ROKiT is launching the revolutionary ROKiT IO Pro 3D, with stunning, glasses-free, state-of-the-art 3D technology.

“We were patient in deciding on our inaugural jersey partner and are thrilled to select ROKiT, a company which shares our commitment to excellence both on and off the court,” said Rockets Chief Executive Officer Tad Brown. “We have high expectations heading into this season and look forward to introducing our fans to the quality products and high level of service that ROKiT offers.”

The ROKiT logo will appear on the front left shoulder of Rockets jerseys, opposite the Nike logo, for all games during the 2018-2019 season. All variations of Rockets jerseys will feature a white ROKiT logo on a red background.

“We are delighted to work with the Houston Rockets, one of the most successful and well-known sports teams in the world, in a deal that includes being their first-ever jersey partner,” commented ROKiT co-founder Jonathan Kendrick. “The Rockets’ community involvement sets a stellar example for their fans in Houston, across the country and around the world. In that commitment, we saw powerful synergy with our mission of improving the lifestyle of mankind. We are thrilled to initiate this long-term partnership.”

The partnership between the Rockets and ROKiT includes other elements:

- ROKiT will partner with the team on various community outreach efforts throughout the season with a focus on programs for military veterans like Hoops for Troops, while looking to integrate their parent brand’s involvement with Vets to Vets.

- The partnership also includes select ROK Drinks brands: three Toyota Center lounges will be re-branded as Bogart’s Lounge, ABK Beer Garden, and Bandero Tequila Terrace.

The Rockets retained Excel Sports Management as its sales agency for the ROKiT partnership and jersey patch program.

The Rockets are loaded. Melo coming off the bench was a matter of time but he should try to use that as motivation to try and win 6MOTY. Gordon could even mentor him lol
Keep in mind this is without Knight. Soo your bench will be
Knight
Gordon
MCW/Green
Melo/Chriss
Nene/Chriss

I forgot about Knight. Damn, we got a squad. We'll see how they look in action starting tomorrow but this might end up being top to bottom a better squad than last year's team, once we get into high gear in March.
