    That was odd seeing him in black shoes. The team wore black shoes a lot last year, but Hakeem never wanted to wear them so the Rockets went back to white when he came off an injury. I thought it was cool seeing him in black shoes. If the Rockets make the playoffs (wishful thinking probably) I hope they were black shoes like the bulls and others.

    Considering on the night they broke out the black shoes the team as a whole had a crappy shooting performance, I would think that they burned them all after the game. I think the red chuck taylors would be much better [​IMG]
