Present Rockets with Yao Ming is not as good Present New Orleans with Chris Paul. So unless Morey makes serious adjustments I can't see our Rockets as contenders next season. Hopefully he will!!
disappoint about the defense congratulate to ariza for the triple double :grin: first in his career jordanH & Cbud work hard in the off season ! come on!! looking forward draft and trade
Man, I can't believe it's over this season. I remember on Calvin Murphy's show back in October he stated it be a miracle if the Rockets would win at least 40 games. Well Calvin, we got 42!! At least the Rockets have a bright future and I'm looking forward for this October, but the Astros are just going to make my summer sour. Can't wait till October!!!
STOP making silly excuses for rox they suck defensively wwe need some serious upgrades at the defensive end like a marcus camby+ draft pick big man
Ariza played great in the last month of this season. He was nearing triple double numbers the last few games and he finally got it. He really needs to work on his dribbling and shooting (free throws ) and luckily those are things he can actually improve with practice.
It will a long wait till October. So key up coming events beside the playoffs. Lottery Ping Pong Ball night, Draft night, and July 1st. Teams I do not want to see win the Chip: Jazz, Spurs, Mavs, Lakers, Celtics, Blazers. :grin:
Another good season...wish it was longer, but all things considered, it was a good one. Look forward to greatness next year and fewer (much fewer) injuries!
wonder when all the "what about getting David West" threads are gonna start popping up regardless of his contract situation. He killed me in fantasy. Thanks Rockets! ugh. Looks like if Yao doesn't come back 100%.. we might be the new Golden State
Man I was @ the game and as I was leavin, it was pretty sad that that's it until 6 long months from now...I can't wait man, I can't wait to see the new and improved rockets, on defens especially....great run either way....and to whoever was @ the game and cought autographed things when the game finished,YOUR SO FU****G LUCKY!!!!I almost cought and autographed AB shirt but my gf was in the way and the guy next to her got it can't wait man I can't wait!!!!!
Missed this game, but I'm not too down I missed it, bad loss. However, I am looking foward to next season. I really think we need to improve our defense next year, that was my main concern with Adelman, that after a few years, our defense would fall off. Now whether that has anything to do with Yao being out (probably), but even then our perimeter defense was not good. I would rather score 90 and win 50+ games than score 100+ and only win 42 games. Remember people, defense wins championships. Overall good season, very exciting, and I thought that we made the most of what we had. VERY excited to see how Martin/Ariza fit in with Yao. Here's to hoping for a HEALTHY season next year!
