    We'll see. But I like how you're thinking. And it is probably safe to say that we will have less 4th Q meltdowns that in the past with Artesticles presence!

    Don't forget when RA got here last year there was talk that both Yao and T-Mac would have a down year on scoring averages as the ball would be spread around more.


    Dont focus on the double figure scoring category so much. I think you will see 4 Rockets averaging over 10 ppg, but you will have 3 or 4 more right around 8 or 9 ppg. Its all going to depend on how the defense wants to play, and who is hitting their wide open shots.

    The Thunder game saw the Rockets shoot about 40% or so on their wide open looks. It was terrible. Most NBA teams hit more than half of their wide open shots. T-Mac, Yao, Scola, Artest, Landry, Rafer all missed easy shots that usually go in for them.


    Nothing to worry about yet. Balanced scoring is here to stay, and its nice to see. No more hoping Yao or T-Mac combine for 50 to give the Rockets a chance.

    And this year we have to intergrate a new star in Artest, guys like Brooks and Landry are getting much bigger roles, Barry is new, and Adelman is once again trying his system (which was abandoned last year after the slow start).

    This team will have similar issues in acquiring chemistry and consistency. I do think we will be a lot more successful, but the point being is that ugly wins eventually turn into bad losses if the issues are not fixed.

    i wouldnt mind if Tracy scored 90 points per game, and everone chipped in five points and we picked up the W every night.




    Long as we get the W.

    If you're shooting 70 percent from the field, you are more than likely going to win, because that is some damn fine shooting. 'Nova had a near perfect night when they defeated Georgetown.

    Sometimes, you will have nights when the ball doesn't fall in. Long as you play D that you know your team is capable of doing, which this Rockets team does well, you always have a chance to win.



    same ol ****.
