Rockets fire up.. Are you?

Media Day today for the Rockets.  A lot of new faces along with a few of the old.. Battier, Scola, Landry, Brooks and Hayes.  No Yao, but Tracy McGrady was in attendance.  He told us he feels better today than he did all of last season.  He's seven months into his rehab for micro-fracture knee surgery.   He said he's running and jumping but he's not about to rush it he'll listen to his doctors.   He will play this year he just doesn't know when yet.    His contract is up this season with the Rockets but TMac says he'd love to stay with the team.   He's not out to prove to anyone he can still play just to himself.   Believe him or not, if McGrady can come back and be anything like the All-Star TMac, it could be the boost the Rockets need to make the playoffs.   Young and up tempo, the Rockets will be fun to watch.
