One great game would probably do it. The Rockets need to play a game where they just click. They need a night where they go ahead early, get favorable calls, make their free throws, stop the other team, and knock down 8-10 three-pointers. The Rockets just need to remember how to win again. It would also help if Steve's back would heal a bit, at least to the point where he can have monster, high scoring game.
a creative yet simple offensive system that take advantage of each player's strenght and hide his weakness.
Our solution is to move to the Eastern Conference. http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=3203 Nancy (Houston): Hi Marc, What is the biggest problem for Houston? Can they make the playoffs? Marc Stein: Same problem as the Pistons. Detroit was out West and the Rockets are there permanently. Not the place to be without a consistent power forward or a lack of depth or the absence of veteran leadership to teach them how to win.
I think one great game against a great team goes into our heads. So we expect to whoop the next mediocre team without giving 100%.
