Everytime the Rockets gain momentum, Mutumbo and the Rockets are standing up.

down 18, I think they made a run to make it close in the end, but you get the point.

Removed link - it has nothing to do with the thread title or it's contents.

That happens with every team.

You should've seen the Magic when we still had Bo Outlaw over there.

Ronny Turiaf will take on the whole Rockets bench.

I obviously don't watch any team as much as the Blazers, but the Blazers bench does the same thing all the time. I'm guessing most teams have a bench that do similar things.

If best = most annoying, then yes. The Rockets have this little twerp on their roster, never gets any playing time, sits on the end of the bench, but when the Rockets do anything remotely good, like, dribbling, that guy is dancing around, walks on the court, etc.

Lol really though was that the right video ? i was expecting to see a Highlight rocket play or something then i was like is this a trick ?

but on Topic yes Mutumbo is a great guy to have on your team not just cause of his shto blocking or basketball skills but because he is a good guy in general for everything he does for the city or for Africa .. great guy has my Respect

yeah we do have the best bench energy...

the bench stands up until we score our first basket and thats when they sit down.

Actually I came in here expecting to read something about the amazing hustle of the rookies Scola and Landry. And then I saw the video and I was like ... I can't see the bench but I'm sure they weren't exactly jumping up and down after that play.

Mutombo never sits down. The other guys probably stand up because they are tired of Mutombo blocking their view.

lol @ the link.

Yeah I assumed the topic title meant best energy by the bench players during the games, while they're on the court (Houston might have a good case). Not sure what Kobe stuffing Yao Ming has to do with bench energy. :crazy:
