ESPN.com Sportsnation poll asks who improved the most in the NBA and which teams are the best of the rest... Currently the Rockets are slightly ahead of Phoenix as the best of the West after the Top 5 (SA, LA, Dallas, Sac, Minn).. Help them by voting here
I don't agree with your premise that Phoenix is better than the Rockets are currently.. If Rudy had not gotten sick last year, do you really think that Phoenix would've made the playoffs and we wouldn't have? Even if you do think that, the addition of Van Gundy should make our team more consistent and even better defensively which alone seems to improve our team. What has Phoenix done to make you think they are better? Also, this is a poll so opinions count and if we are Rockets fans, our opinions should be heard.
Position by Position C Yao v.s. Jake T. Edge Rockets Pf Amare V.s. Eddie Edge Phoenix Sf Marion v.s. Pike Edge Phoenix SG Cat v.s. Penny Edge Rockets PG Steve v.s. Stephon Edge Even (maybe Steve is a little better,but Stephon took them to the playoffs last year.) Coaching Edge Rockets Bench HOU Cato Mo Mooch Pho J. Johnson Gugs Outlaw (Rockets need another good role player off the bench) to even it The Rockets Coaching will lead us to a better record then Phoenix
According to the poll thusfar, "None of the above" has a better chance of winning the championship than most of the Eastern Conference. Seems about right.
We owned Phoenix last year. We beat them 3-1 and only missed the playoffs by ONE DARN GAME. We could have easily won a bunch of other games like the game where Matt Harpring luckily jacked a 3 pointer to take it to overtime....... We are a better team than them. I am voting for the Rockets.
i agree, and Horns you notice the very nice numbers the two Suns rookies were putting up at summer league, if they get something out of those two they are going to be real tough.
