Kenny Smith ranks Rockets

is he saying deron + boozer > tmac and yao?

 

the rockets didn't pay kenny to stay around at contract time. he's being a bitter little b****.

 

can tracy and yao coexist??? people are still asking that question?

 

Preseason rankings are almost always just the end of season rankings from the previous year.

 

Can Yao prove he isn't just another Shawn Bradley?

 

I think the Jazz answered during the playoffs. However, the equation went more like this. Deron + Boozer + Refs > T-Mac + Yao

 

I like Kenny but he is a moron when it comes to talking about the Rockets... and Barkley is the President of that moronic club.

 

kenny and charles dont know what they are talking about.........kenny should aleast be give us some prasies but charles he is just mad he didnt get a ring.......we need haters like that so when we get to the finals he'll be on the rockets bandwagon!

 

Edit this

 

"can yao and mcgrady coexist?"

wtf does this mean? the jet is very, very critical of the rockets... i wonder why? it just seems like it's a chore for him to muster up anything positive to say.

 

Personally i rather be underlooked that way we are more likely to overachieve. I think its better to sneak up on the competition but I am tired of hearing how everybody hates the rockets. Honestly we are unproven. Steve francis is not near the same player that was here 4 seasons ago. Mike James is coming off a disappointing season. And our draft pick Aaron Brooks who seems to have so much potential is 4th on the depth chart currently. Scola seems pretty good but the Spurs traded him for a 2nd round pick and didn't think he was worth a roster spot. Maybe they made a mistake who knows. And I'm not saying Charles and Kenny Smith are good analysts but they have been right about us every year in that we still haven't left the first round. Every year players like vspan, novak, stromile, etc are suppose to break out but it rarely happens like we all think. The Rockets don't deserve to be ranked above any of those teams until we prove it on the court. The Jazz are a young team with improving players and the fact is they beat us last year without home court advantage.

 

To be fair, he said these are projections for playoff seedings.

The only teams he's projecting as having better record are the usual suspects, I'm not sure all this bashing is fair or even reasonable.

 

maybe the rockets will actually prove kenny wrong and show something more than #5 this year. who cares about rankings. and for what it's worth it wouldn't matter to me if we were ranked number 1 either.

 

seeding, not record.

"My preseason rankings reflect potential playoff seeding, but some teams are better built for the regular season (like Dallas). Depth, age and experience all play a part on who dominates the regular season. Here's how I see the West with preseason play getting under way."

You guys are way too defensive.

 

here is the thing.....If yao and Tmac go on a road trip and have to pull over for gas, Yao will think that pumping the gas is just as important as paying for the gas.

sincerely,
kenny smith
