    "17. Houston Rockets

    The More Things Change: Of course, the biggest change is that the biggest man in the league, Yao Ming, will return from his foot injury. But his days of playing 30-plus minutes a game (not to mention averaging 20 and 10) could be over. The signing of Brad Miller will give Houston a nice one-two punch at center, even if Yao's minutes are limited. Courtney Lee was acquired in a trade for Trevor Ariza, which is at best a lateral move; Lee's no better than Ariza and probably a bit worse. Draft pick Patrick Patterson is a promising talent.

    The More They Stay the Same: The good news is that Luis Scola and Kyle Lowry were re-signed, and one would expect the high-scoring Kevin Martin to be better acclimated to his teammates after playing a half-season with them last year. In Martin and Aaron Brooks, the Rockets could have one of the highest-scoring backcourts in the league."



    Broussard is an idiot. That's my opinion.

    Broussard is the black Stephen A. Or is it the other way around?

    grizzlies have Hasheem Thabheet and wre able to resign Rudy Gay not to mention they have the opportunity to sign Xavier Henry and Grievas Vasquez if they choose to


    The Hornets were able to get Trevor Ariza


    quite easy if you think about it


    oh and Broussard is an absolute idiot

    What's wrong with his analysis?

    - Yao is back, but may not be his dominant self.
    - Yao and Miller are a nice center rotation.
    - Lee isn't as good as Ariza.
    - Scola and Lowry coming back is a good thing.
    - Martin will play better this year because he's familiar with his teammates.
    - Martin and Brooks will score ton of points.

    Yeah, what a moron.

    I love it when I don't even have to speak and my thoughts are projected onto others ;)

    But I do like Vasquez... :) Better than the other two mentioned (he's a worker... I like workers)

    I'm gonna venture a guess that he was not one of the 2 voters to predict us winning the West then ? :p

    Eh, more motivation for us.

    I thought Broussard was a tad smarter than this, especially when he himself bowed down to the Master, Mr. Morey.

    So let me get this straight.

    If you don't say that We are contenders or even a legit playoff team because of the addition of Yao (who's been off the court for more than a year) then you suck and don't know what you're talking about.


    got it. :rolleyes:

    Oh well, that is why they play the games.

    I would rather go into the season as underdogs anyway !

    Uh... let the season do the talking... this guy is dumb.
    We are probably one of the deepest teams in the league right now and I'm no homer.

    Yeah, I thought the analysis was fine...I believe the ranking is what is questionable.

    I'm wondering if he's ranking the offseason... if so... adding Yao to an above .500 team is still higher on the scale than New Orleans off season.
