super kev even with all that we are no better than the clippers. our biggest veteran leader is franchise which means we dont have any on the court veteran leadership (sorry i dont really count the wizard and rice...maybe if we add both of them together then they can count as half of a veteran leader), and that doesnt help us if we are trying to win a playoff spot in the west where veteran teams run the show. also how can you guys say that we are just better than the clippers? the clippers are better than us in depth, they are better 3 thru 5 (yes i am saying the kandiman will be better than ming next year), and what have they done to show that they can't play ball? i dunno...i love the rockets, but these predictions are absurd. if we make it to the playoffs i would be jumping for joy, but i know in reality that the chances of that are pretty slim. we will be a .500 ball club this year and if ming comes along good then i will be happy as a clam. i hope that rambling made sense
Wouldn't you expect SA, Utah and Portland to get worse ? David Robinson should be done. Stockton should be done. Malone is wearing down. Pippen is - Pippen. The Portland headcase implosion continues. On thop of that - Minnesota may lose T Brandon and Chauncy Billups. The Sonics are a mess. Why can't the Rockets and Clippers move up? Sacto Dallas La Spurs Rockets Wolves Clippers Portland
