    ----

    Some interesting things to note there. T-Mac still regarded as one of the best at getting his own shot. Battier and Scola known for doing the most with limited physical gifts. Ron seen by majority as toughest player in the NBA, with rookie Joey Dorsey receiving votes for toughest without ever playing a game in the NBA regular season. We have a lot of things to look forward to. :eek:

    I can not believe people want to watch Hornets and Portland more than Lakers, Boston, and Houston.

    Are they basketball fans or what?

    Obviously you haven't watched many Hornets games...
    (i'm guess it's based on style rather than overall caliber)

    I would guess it's based on sheer number of alley oop passes between Paul and Chandler.

    Most GM's account for our injury issues. Honestly, that's the only way we're going to be derailed this season. The thing is, though, NO is just as injury prone with injured list veterans David West and Stojakovic on the team. It's just that they showed what they're capable of when healthy last season, while the Rockets, due to our injury prone stars, have never reached their potential.

    He doesn't get enough chances to fast break and show off his speed. Hopefully with more PT and maybe some national coverage with the Rockets this year people will take notice.

    I don't understand why they show it as a percentage like that. They should just say 27 GMs voted, and give the number of GMs that voted for each player/team.

    Example, instead of saying 81.5% of GMs think Kobe is the best at getting his own shot, and 7.5% of GMs think its McGrady, say that 22 out of 27 GMs voted for Kobe and 2 others voted for McGrady.

    Good point. They might think 27 is not a large sample size.

    I'd like to see this question being answered by the GMs: which other GM are you most unwilling to deal with?

    Predicted answer:

    1. Kevin Pritchard 52%
    2. Daryl Morey 48%

    Others mentioned: Bryan Colangelo, Joe Dumars, R.C. Buford

    :)
