    Where would you rank Rockets if Francis are sitting out for the rest of season?

    I will say We are still better than Wizard, Bulls (eventhough we lost against them), Griz, and Cavs...

    25 / 29

    Since we have lost to all of those teams, I would have to rank them at 29.

    After that ass ramming with the Bulls, having Jordan sit out is a blessing :(

    I'd rank us ahead of Chicage, Memphis, Cleveland, and Washington, so I'd rank us 25th.

    29th. We have the worst starting point guard, small forward and center in the NBA. Our power forward isnt even a power forward and our bench stinks.

    Would you prefer Matt Maloney starting at point guard? Besides, Moochie isn't our everyday starter, he's a backup!! But if you think you could do any better than all of them, then kudos to you.

    Yeah, we know Mooch isn't the starter. Thats why the post asks

    And to answer the question, I say 26. We are better than Chicago, Memphis and Washington, but I think Cleveland is better than us without Francis.

    Matt Maloney was another stuff up by CD. I believe he is still on our payroll. I was answering the question which is where do you rank the Rox without Francis. And without Francis we're the worst in the league. And I'm not paid getting $8 million a season by the Rox to play basketball, Rice is, and he isn't worth it

    A weird thing has happened. I have realized that the Rockets are SOOOOO bad, that I'm not disappointed anymore. It's too easy to overestimate a team that flounders around .500; and consequently, one gets frustrated.

    These Rockets, however, are a complete joke. I've removed all of my expectations for them. If we win, it means nothing... if we lose, *yawn*....

    The only thing I expect at this point, is development of Oscar, Eddie and Terence... a little bit of Taurine for Kelvin, and some rest for Cuttino, Steve and Mo.

    if the Rockets look like they're making a move in March, have the guy at the bottom of the UU lib flash the lights a couple of times. I'll come back out to see what's going on...

    A panel of NBA "experts" at Sportsline.com rank the Rockets #21. Teams ranked below us, in order, are the Jazz, Warriors, Cavs, Hawks, Grizzlies, Wizards, Heat, Bulls. Reasons given for the Rockets' fall from a previous #14 ranking: "The Rockets are falling apart, literally. Cuttino Mobley is playing on two bad ankles, Glen Rice a bad foot and Steve Francis isn't playing at all. They're staying in games just by playing hard."
