BleacherReport: Contenders to Crippled, Houston Rockets

We should be a balanced offense, yes, but by default. This team's lack of a go-to scorer, let alone someone who can create offense consistently for himself and others, is a huge concern.

 

It concerens me even more then the lack of size. Even the size through the years we been ok at best, but the scoring will be plenty difficult.

 

Well between Tracy McGrady and Aaron Brooks it shouldn't be too much of a problem (assuming T-Mac can get back to early Houston level).

I think rebounding is gonna be a huge problem. Game 7 against the Lakers we were mauled on the boards.

 

LOL...I have the same feeling...damn that was a long time ago

The thing with our interior play is that I feel we would not happen as much problems on the defensive end. We all know that they are capable of playing solid defence.

The problem with our offense is that yao comands so much attention in that it gives room for scola, laundry and hayes (to a certain degree) room to operate. Laundry sees much more of an open lane on the weak side with yao getting double teamed all the time. If anderson does not pan out, I really worry that would limit our PF's effectiveness. Then again I may be wrong as yao does clogg up the lane a bit. But i just feel that with yao in there scola and laundry rarely sees help defence cause opposing centres would be reluctant to go away from yao. I worry that without yao, they would not be as effecient. no doubt they would still score, i just feel that they would not be able to keep up the fg %.
