    The Rox will be fine...damm give them some time to gel, there is no way they can be this mechanical looking all season with all the pieces we have. Team looked as bad, if not worse than this last season and I was PISSED but it ended up coming all together. I realize this season we are not going to be able to make quick roster changes as last season but we know these guys can do it (they did it last year and are veterans). Just wait for T-Mac to be back. Championships aren't won in November & December...if they are still below .500 and playing this type of ball at the all-star break (with/without T-Mac) than we can start to PANIC!

    Besides, JVG, CD and Les would never stoop to tanking the season, especially this early on.

    Even a speculative notion of 'tanking' sickens me.

    I could see if it gets much worse that they will tell Tracy to have surgery which means we are tanking the season which if that happens I see drama and Tmac leaving on the horizon Tmac didnt come here to win a championship in 5 yrs he came for now lets get it done guys. GO ROCKETS

    I agree that the rockets need to tank.

    Sit TMac to let him heal.

    And trade Yao to the Lakers.

    This thread is absolutley ridulous. The Rockets are definetley a team that is built for the playoffs and even if Tmac has to sit for an extended amount of time I still see us as a number 6 or 7 seed at the very worst which is perfectly fine with me. People don't understand that no matter how much we will suck, in the end, Tmac is going to carry this team onto his shoulders and into the playoffs. I believe that we have the talent and the squad to beat 2-7 seeds. GIVE IT SOME TIME FOR GOD SAKES. The original thread post is exactly the kind of negativity on this board that is getting so annoying. How can you tank this season after watching 8 games?? People should think twice before posting ideas like this... :confused:

    It's too early to tank. Look at what the Astros did, they where 15-30 and made to World Series. What they should do is let T-Mac heal. His back is just not right, let him sit out 2 weeks or it will be be a turn in his side all season.

    everyone...let's not forget who we have played thus far this season
    At Miami
    At Indiana
    Detroit
    At SA
    Yes we blew those two early home games to subpar teams but other than that our schedule has been brutal. That's a hell of a schedule to start the season, of course we aren't gonna win those games without T-Mac, not to mention our team still trying to get used to eachother. Just wait till T-Mac get's better and we can start feeding on the lesser teams
