I agree. Denver benefitted from a cream puff second half schedule. The way the Spurs easily dispatched them once Duncan's ankle healed showed what a limited team they are. Until they get reliable outside shooting to stretch a defense I can't put them ahead of the suns. I mean, Nash > Miller, Marion = Carmello (I won't debate this, Mello is garbage), Amare > KMart.
I seriously think that we should be number 3 at least. The only team I see that has a chance to beat the talented Rockets are SA, Miami only. Miami is a disaster waiting to happen.
so guys, i asked this friend of mine (who's a spurs fan masquerading as a rockets fan) where he thought the rockets were going to end up this year and he said 15th!!! he's not going to believe me or you guys because, for some unexplainable reason, he thinks we may be biased please give me links to other national sites that show projected rankings for the rockets.... please shut this bonehead up, please
How about giving the Rocks the #1 spot for upgrading rosters on their weakest spots. PF & SF position even got better. Show some love brother!!! The Rockets is really for hunt for the best record this season.
I really like this years Rockets team, but I think we are a year away from a Championship. The Rockets may be the best defensive team in the league next year, but it takes a while to jell. "Swift will have a break out season....I HOPE!!" - I think Swift will have an average year with stats increasing during the season. But I think he could average 3 blocks a game.
My top 5: 1. Spurs 2. Heat 3. Indiana 4. Rockets 5. Detroit The last 3 teams are very close, any can be at no. 3
