Jeff makes a good point that we have young talent that needs to grow so we can become a good team.Francis,Mobley and Taylor are good scorers,KT is showing improvement,and Shandon is a fine defender who needs to get more aggressive on the offensive end.We need to play much better defence and to move the ball around so we can get easier chances to score.Last year's improvement at the end of the season was the main reason why Houston remained an attractive market for free agents.However if we don't start winning more games than there is a chance that both Taylor and Anderson will leave the team.Free agents then will not want to play for Houston.Look at Chicago,they have some young talent and a lot of money but no one wants to play for them because they have a losing record.Young players coming through the draft are generally not ready to contribute to a team in the NBA.That's why I'm a little worried about the future of the Rockets.Hopefully we will be able to play much better in the new year despite the injuries and give ourselves a chance of making it to the playoffs.If we can do that then we can work making improvements to our weaknesses at the center and small forward spot which could help us in the future to become a championship team again. ------------------
