Are there any Teams Behind the Rockets in the Standings with More Talent

A couple of teams that I would be watching right now are the spurs and blazers followed by utah and and sacramento.

The spurs are traditionally slow starters every year. Every year they're done,old, and over, then after the rodeo round trip, they turn it on. Portland even with the injuries are not playing up to their talent. They don't play hard enough for me, don't have a defensive identity, and nate isn't putting the best players on the floor. Utah, is utah. Sloan is having some problems with their effort nightly, but williams and boozer are playing great,and okur and brewer are alson good player. AK-47 hasn't played much, but miles and matthews have worked back into rotation. The team that's kinda coming on and eventhough they're young are the kings. They play hard, have a lot of young talent mixed with the gritty natureof nocioni. Evans is a star with it and will help the team win close games.

 

according to charles barkley we have the worst team in the west lol

 

The best talent we have is Daryl Morey.

 

Maybe we should dig out that "Is playing hard a talent" thread.

 

I would say every team in the league besides the Nets has better individual talent or a healthy superstar. Its just that the Rockets have a collection of good improving young players and solid role players that stick to their roles and are consistent doing it.

 

I don't understand why so many people still think we don't have talent,and what is real talent lie?

in this team,obiously at least 4 players possess talent,and later have great chance to develop into all star level player.

1.aaron brooks
excellent in offensive end,great speed,big heart,full confident

listed at least top 10 pg in the league,I don't care you admit or not.

2.carl landry
real beast in paint area,great energy.always eager to win,never to give up,try to catch every rebound ,leading in the list for the 6ther

3.trevor ariza
admit it or not,he has a huge innate advantage,such a long arm could cover so much space which help him to be a super defender in the league,what terrify us is his continuous improving offensive abilit,to score 20+ is a little case for him right now.

4.luis scola
My god his beatiful move is so skillful.I don't know any other PF can do such amazing move like him,he even don't need to jump,with the stable jump shoot he can kill a lot opponents easilier.to get a double game is very easyfor him,can u still say he is a average player?

so in summary,we do have some talents,we are totally underrated.

 

Saying the Rockets have talent is basically hindsight evaluation, unless you're Morey. Even Adelman once questioned our talent(talking about his job security before the season.

You can't tell me you expected Budinger/Landry/Ariza to ALL perform at this levels. People talked about Scola and Brooks. But the truth is, we're getting a lot of unexpected performance this year.

 

San Antonio is tied with us and they clearly have more talent.
