    This is really nothing, but t-mac telling ppl to go view the skillzla.com site. but in any regards, t-mac looks really good for a guy who still cant practice with the team yet.

    Besides scoring... This was my major concern going into this year. How our defense was going to pan out. I know it's early but this team must play solid defense every night if they plan on winning some ball games.

    With Yao out of the lineup, everything changes for them on the defensive end. He always clogged up the middle. He wasn't great at blocking but he could challenge/make a player change their shot.

    I wonder if Adelman and his coaching staff will focus on perimeter defense to make up for the lost of Yao???

    Lowry, Battier, Ariza are about as good a perimeter defensive trio as you can find in the NBA.

    Is Tmac able to run? With all the running they are doing in camp it is going to take him a while to get in running shape if he is not doing it already.

    My theory is getting Adelman a set rotation is vital once Tracy comes back. Rockets do not want the same situation as last year. Several rotation changes at the start of the season.

    I get the sense that he can run, jump, and pretty much do everything else. Seems they are being extra cautious.

    havent hear or read anything, but not having Yao in the middle clogging up space, that alone should help Brooks...it's unfortunate, but brooks is very small, yao very big, so it should give brooks more space to operate and allow him to see his teammates better

    dont remember seeing him with a brace when he was working out with Grover....i think he feels fine without it. I think braces can be overrate at times, well depending on the injury and/or type of brace being used.

    DD are you serious? the man has been runnig for weeks now, he's up to off the backboard dunks now :D

    The rockets are just being cautious, i think they just want to see his progress on their own....with him being in chicago it would be stupid for them to just go based on his word, they probably want to put him through tests and drills and figured a month was a good timetable..
