I'm telling you, Tua. Don't sleep on that Rockets team. If T-Mac and Yao can stay healthy, BIG IF, I'd put them up against ANYBODY with the Artest pick up.

they just can't stay healthy , pea.

they'll have to adjust to ron ron too.

the west is too tough. nobody even mentions phoenix!

Rockets wont finish worst than 2nd.

Lakers is the only team id put ahead of them

Hell no! Id put this years Rockets team ahead of the lakers any day! I too believe that the Rockets have a very good chance to get to the finals this year, dont know about winning it tho. They have a bad ass team.

Did you all forget the Rockets went on a 22 game winning streak with Just Tmac

VERY true. I'm not counting out the Spurs, either. But I like that squad the Rockets put together.
Really, leave Artest alone, and let him do his thing. He was trying too much with the Kings.
If he gets them garbage points, and puts pressure on the next team's best offensive weapon, while freeing up T-Mac to be pretty much the offensive beast that he is....
I'm telling you, Rockets are going to be NO joke.

This is the official 2008-2009 Houston Rockets Thread.

As you may or may not know the Rockets finally aquired a third star in Ron Artest. Now they are ready to win a Title or get out the first round at least

Anyways along with Artest they also got some other key players to add depth to the bench like Joey Dorsey who is a big hog in the paint and veteran Brent Barry

Projected Starting Five
Yao Ming
Luis Scola
Ron Artest
Tracy Mcgrady
Rafer Alston

Key players of the bench
Shane Battier, Brent Barry, Chuck Hayes, Aaron Brooks.

This team is going to be stacked as hell along with Steve Francis, Luther Head, and Carl Landry

HOLLA *****!!!!!



HTown Rockets will win it all this year!!!

Im hoping they get credit for doing well...

People gave them **** when they won back to back in 94-95

why would people give them ****?

how many teams have been able to go back to back?

kings , clippers , nuggets , hornets , timberwolves , bobcats , raptors , grizzlies , nets , suns , jazz , cavaliers , mavericks , pacers and magic has never even won ONE.

Quick question. 5k to the right answer. Who did MJ say was the best player on that 1984 team? And he didn't even make that team?

Sure hahah. If TMAC and yao stay healthy (doubt it) then they'll go to face Utah again and lose...again
