The rockets would have probably won it all in 09. Healthy Yao and tmac plus stacked steam beats lakers, the rockets beat the nuggets in reg season that year and Yao would have destroyed deight in the finals
Yao is the man, the gentle giant and I can see your point about him. But I definitely like Harden more than Mcgrady, he seems like a better leader so far and does not complain. I havent seen enough of Dwight to comment on how likeable he wil be but he seems to have embarrassed ths city so hopefully nothing but good things from him.
I think Tracy's absence brought the team together. They just needed Yao's foot to be good that series. Just showed that a tougher player like Ron brings a better attitude to the team
Ron left after one year and changed his name. Sure he was a top defensive player and was crafty offensively but yeah worship him all you want. He just chased after the ring. He did come to the Rockets because of the coach not because of it was the Rockets.
How did Ron "come to the Rockets because of the coach" when he was actually TRADED to Houston? He would have been a Rocket even if tinman were the coach.
I'm pretty sure Ron didn't want to leave. we chose Ariza instead of him for a new direction since Yao and Tmac were both out that seasons
