    It seems we have a team similar to what Rudy T left us with... Head and Alston being Cat and Franchise, Bonzi being Eddie Griffin, and a whole slew of other depressing things...

    We lost our best players again, and I am tempted we are not going to get out of this rut until we get a new staff.

    I don't understand... Are you saying the coaching staff is the reason Yao and T-Mac are getting injured?

    Luther is no Mobley, and Alston is definitely no Stevie, and Bonzi and Eddie G are 2 totally different players. IBTL.

    I am talking about their style of play. Both shoot way too much, and also turnover the ball too much. Bonzi is supposed to be our savior much like Griffin.

    Either way... you need TALENT to win in this league... not simply a game plan.

    The Rockets didn't have enough talent in 2000, and they sure as hell don't have enough talent now. The Suns don't have enough talent without Steve Nash and Shawn Marion... they can continue to try and run their game-plan effectively, but without those players, they won't be contenders.

    Maybe losing a ton of games without our stars makes it easier to get talent via the draft... that's the ONLY blessing in disguise.

    I am sooo glad I didn't order League pass for last season AND this season. What a wise decision. It will pains me to no end to think about I have to pay to watch Rafer Alston solo show.

    I feel bad for the guys who spent their own money on the season tickets. What a waste.

    last year i would say is worse, we have no idea when mcgrady will be back true, but we have no idea how he will be when he is back. what if he goes back to being the mcgrady of two seasons ago? the team is a lot better this year than last year. i paid for LP yes, but i saw a total of 6 rocket games last year thanks to the crappy jobs i had and so it felt to me last year hardly happened. i am grateful for my LP at least i can see Gilbert Arenas.

    things are bad but i have a better feeling that the team will be ok, not good or great but better than we expect until yao gets back
