1. The Rockets were at their worst last year when they did not have a point guard. Without Bob Sura, they were not a very good team. This year they don't have Bob Sura, and the guy they traded for to replace him has been injured as well. No point guard basically means no offense. 2. T-Mac is clearly not the same player this year that he was last year. He doesn't seem to have the same explosion he had a year ago. I get the feeling he may still have some injury issues. 3. Swift hasn't been here long enough to warrant being labeled a complete bust yet. Give him a little more time to learn. No, it shouldn't take this long, but it is taking this long and there's not much you can do to rush his learning process. He's not very bright. 4. Yao is not a leader. He's clearly uncomfortable in that role. 5. This team NEEDS Jon Barry. That's all for now....
