    Hey all!
    Can anyone explain to me why the Rockets always get snubbed from the defensive selection teams? Battier is a better defender than Kobe and Bell. Bowen's not that great in my opinion. Battier guards all the hard guys I hope he's pissed.
    Just some opinions on what yall think.
    :mad:

    I just think the media doesn't reconize the Rockets because they're not televised as much as those other teams, even though they had a good record this year.

    Because the nba award staff suck

    besides, the Rox are seen by them as a "defensive team" but not made by great defenders. (thats true, except for Shane)

    plus shane is underrated (i was surprised they clamed him as an x-factor :rolleyes: )

    the coaches vote for it and i suspect it's like the coach's poll in college, they don't give a F.

    No surprise there. Houston players in all sports never get recognized. Bryant is a good defender?!? Are you kidding me? :mad: :mad: :mad:
