    Or is it possible for us to get one in the foreseeable future?

    To me, that is the major issue that is hindering the development of this team.

    With Billups, we are a contender!

    I think both Morey and Adelman are aware of the problem although they keep talking up Brooks in front of the fans. Morey always keeps an eye on coming up chances. I see changes in the next season either Lowry will start or they will bring in someone else.

    Kyle Lowry can be a starter. He's an average starting PG. He's younger than Brooks, runs the offense better and defends better with more size. Lowry is really bulky and his body is so thick with a big head.

    It will be fantastic if Lowry can model his mid-range game after Sam-I-Am. Lowry is a good mid-range shooter, but he needs to improve his footwork and pump fake. Sam-I-Am's mid-range game was very simple and efficient.

    McGrady... great at the three and assists... court vision is good too. Why is he not a point guard? Who the hell knows... maybe he will be someday. I always thought he was more of a PG and not a SG.

    Billups, Rondo type of guard. What makes those two perfect is that they combine skills with that fierce attitude.

    Lowry is not a starting pg. He's great off the bench but he's not a good enough shooter to be the starting pg on this team.

    They both need to get better at the entry pass in the post. And Aaron needs to take the shot when its there. He passes up a good shot too often and forces something that isnt there much too often.

    Aaron is still learning tho. He can only get better.

    Bear it in mind, Yao is 28 this year? Time flies, guys.

    I've been to three games that When Rockets played Lakers. This last game on April 3 is the worst game, which is very disappointing to me. When SF was with us, we played Lakers with attitude. When Tracy and Rafer were with us, we almost beat them in their house had stupid Rafter not committed those stupid turnover when under pressure in the last couple of minutes.

    On April 3, we were thoroughly, completely dominated in every aspect of the game. We played without Lakers passing skills and attitude.

    I think we really need a guard with some fierce attitude and capability! Even Bobby Sura would make us way better.

    Billup is more than decent, he's in Rockets' dream.

    Aaron's problem is that he's thinking too much. Since he's been starting, he feels the need to defer to the vets as far as scoring is concerned, mainly Ron Ron and Yao. He doesn't realize that he can help them all out if he's aggresive with his play.

    I think that a perfect model for him would be Kevin Johnson when he played with the Sun's back in 90's. Aaron's just as quick but Kevin just had a great awareness and an aggresivness on the court that Aaron lacks, he's shown both at times but not nearly as consistently as he needs to.

    Lowry's pretty good off of the bench but as Super Von has said, his inconsistent outside shot is what's holding him back right now.

    Personally, I'd still like to see a trade for Heinrich.

    Baron is too injury prone. Two years ago, he is the man.

    No I don't. You can see that for these 2 years Rockets are trying to get younger, not older. Davis maybe OK, but Camby is near the end of his career. Plus Tmac's injury status is keeping other teams away from a trade, most likely Rockets will have to stuck with him for another year, and then try to get something good out of 2010's crazy free market.

    Kyle Lowry is a good PG, he's not getting a chance because Aaron "Zero Assists" Brooks is starting.

    No,no.
    I turned off my computer a few minutes into the fourth quarter. I knew what was coming based on the team's history.

    Pigs don't fly. Right now, the rockets are pigs. Yet with wings they can fly.

    I think they will go for nash again for Tmac. Old nash will be good enough for Yao/Ron/Shane/luis to win.
