    Which teams have "elite young talent?" Names please.

    To me the major mistake made on this board is to see everyone else's talent as elite and see our own as garbage.

    Our young guys have a year's more experience. Morris and D-Mo are promising.

    The cupboard is not bare. Except for a "star" our talent is as good as anyone's. That is all I'm saying.

    This is a good thread. We'll be better than expected. Only thing is we missed out on the Chuckwagon, we really could have used him. Oh well, next man up!

    Rockets will make the playoffs if health holds up.

    Thank you. For all you critics, show me four non-starters on another NBA team that "anyone" would automatically and without hesitation swap for those four.... not talking about positional needs, just talent and potential for future contribution.

    I don't know if any of you have been paying attention, but we are about to start the season with ten capable scorers on the team.

    Martin
    Lowry
    Scola
    T-Will
    Hill
    Bud
    Lee
    Flynn
    Patterson
    Dragic


    This will be one of the top scoring teams in the league. Plus now, they have the defense to go with it.;):cool:

    10 scorers and 3 defenders, two of whom are coming off the bench.

    3? I see at least 7 good defenders on that list.

    Lowry
    T-Will
    Hill
    Patterson
    Dragic
    Lee
    Flynn

    These are all ok to pretty good defenders or better known as "two-way players".;)

    Scola is a 1 and a half man on O and D.
    He is mediocre on Defense....

    Were they not one of the top scoring teams at one point last season?

    You need to check facts. You have no argument as to how the Rockets are going to be worse off than they were last season.
    You should really start to pay attention, because you are about to learn a lesson in humility.;) Also, please don't disappear after the winning starts. Give props when props are due.

    Kid, I've been a Rockets fan all my life.

    Outside of Lowry, Morris???, and maybe Terrence Williams if he gets his head on straight, we don't have many two way players.

    She's wondering about the defense especially since they lost Hayes and practically had everyone you listed last year besides Flynn. And the fact that Adelman is no longer here will the offense be exactly the same? Top of the league?

    It doesn't do the team any good being top of the league on offense if the opponent can "top" the top of the league on offense every other night.

    If the Rockets do win more this year which I hope they do, They will because of good coaching and player development. The team has definitely gotten worst with the subtraction of our best defender Hayes. At this point, there is only 3 proven players on our roster which is Lowry, Martin, and Scola. Two of which is one way players. The rest of the roster are unproven players which is why I don't blame anyone for thinking that this team will be worst.
