I hope we get better defensively next season as well.
We must indeed.
Well, we haven't arrived at that point just yet.
If the Rockets consistently keep their opponents below 100, we will indeed be legit and have a very good shot at contending for the title.
Fair enough. However, this isn't about downing the team after some tough losses with a couple of key players out. This is about their...
I remember the 1994-95 team quite well. We had two Hall of Famers who rank among the NBA's all-time greats in Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler.
My bad--should have said "no chance" in both instances.
I agree with you 100 percent on the first sentence. Barring significant personnel and/or coaching changes, I definitely differ on the statement...
Not necessarily. I for one will continue to watch them even though I think they have no chance at a title this year. The purpose of the post was...

The sky is not falling, but it's time for a reality check. The Rockets give up more points than any other team in the NBA, except the...
This team can be fun to watch and is playoff caliber, but they are clearly not championship material as presently constructed. Inconsistent...
Jimmy Kimmel opened his show tonight with this gem: "You know there's some big news in the world of daytime television today. This morning,...
I would too, except the subdivision of townhomes I live in does not have Comcast as an option (its Uverse or satellite only). I wonder how many...
