The Rockets will finish this road trip at the least a 500. team... and what till' you see when T-Mac comes back I'm not worried at all. What we are seeing is a team who a. Is still trying to define their roles b. Has a sub-superstar, being treated like a Star (Yao) This is no diss on Yao, but it is true. The reason he fades in the 4th is because this is the first year where he has played this much in the 1st through the 3rd quarters. Then you add that to the fact that he is the "main" focus for all 4qtrs, which he is not use to when T-Mac is on the floor. This little 3 game bump in the season will help the Rockets... Trust me! Oh yeah tell JVG that Skip, is not Barry and he has to allow him to play his game. This guy can drive to the whole and break down teams, just like teams are doing to us, be he is not allowing him to do it. He is making him a spot up shooter and not allowing him to drive and kick on teams. When Yao is winded, he should just high screen and roll with the PF, leave Yao in the paint for easy baskets from the drive or put backs from the missed shot. ... Ok.. let me end here...but like I said "no worries man..." holla back during the win streak.
Dude, you obviously know no history. It's a crime to diss the Great Ced. Can someone bring up that infamous prediction thread by Ced last year? I couldn't search it
Funny, but do you want your ticket now or do you want to wait, because the bandwagon will get full quick.
Hey, i'm already in the bandwagon doesn't matter what. speaking about prediction, here you go: vs NJN : WIN vs BOS: WIN vs MIN: WIN vs SAS: LOSE
I'm a patient man. This team needs time to meld. There are many new players in a new system. Obviously, if T-Mac was here it would be better. This team needs to learn how to play without T-Mac. You want a prediction? I predict our season starts 15-23 and we finish 35-9.
I agree, but am not as bold as Ced, I say 3-2 road trip. Now if T-Mac DOES come back Saturday as he hopes...i'd be ok with 4-1
3-2 is my guest but 4-1 would be nice. Ced, prophets must never fail and if I remember correctly you said we would be in the WCF last year....I'm just saying
People have to doubt CED, otherwise the prophecies might not come true, so therefor: I do not believe it
Absolutely. We have a major problem with creating shots when both Yao and McGrady are off the court... or like you mention when McGrady is off the court and Yao is winded. -Mike James did a good job of this last year. -Swift will only be as good as the shots the guards get for him. -I don't know Anderson's game. He has had very little impact so far. Can he create shots for himself or others? When McGrady went out, I assumed he would pick up some slack, which he didn't.
