    The kings just seems unstoppable when they pass the ball.I had to say damn twice and gosh.If the Rocks become like the team that Kings are we would be challenging the Lakers.Can we fire Rudy T and hire one of the assis coach from the kings?


    Well what do ya'll think?

    Can the Queens be like the Rockets?

    Let's get healthy and get Yao Ming up to speed and find out in the WC Finals...

    Yes. We'd be better (faster guards). But we need Francis and Mobley
    to buy into the team game.

    It's happening slowly. We'll be there if things keep going the way they are.

    We should not be like them. Yes we should pass more and we will but I am not impressed with the Kings low post game and we have an opportunity to be very good in the post. In addition to Ming, we have Rice, MoT and KT who are going to have a low post part to their game. I am not sure if by the end of the season the Kings would have as potent and varied a set of low post options as we could have. This is of course in addition to improved passing and fast breaks. I expect us to be better than them defensively. I am just so sorry we allowed them to get someone like Clarke.

    Its going to take healthy Rockets and secondly its going to take Rudy T a big effort to get the Guards on track! The Guards must stop padding their stats and focus on the Team Concept and winning Games . Francis and Mobley will never win a Championship for the Rox unless they help their Team Mates reach their potential!They must not be afraid of Griffin or Yao Ming becoming gret players and deminishing their fame. What can be greater than winning the Big One. Rockets win FIVE in a row!

    You mean choke when they have the series won. I hope not. That would make me very sad.

    The problem with a motion offense is that you get used to getting easy shots and when good opposing teams start clamping down in the playoffs, you don't know what to do because you are not used to creating your own shot. So you need a mix, with some motion to get some easy shots and some ISO's, so your stars can take over.

    The Lakers and the Bulls team did this. They try to get everyone involved during the game but when it comes to crunch time, they clear out for Shaq and Kobe and MJ.

    EXACTLY!!!!

    You only use the ISO when you HAVE TO.

    It's an advantage IF you have the talent (we do). But don't over use it!

    Good point rockbox!

    Forget being like the kings, losers in the wc finals, I want this team to be like the rockets of old and win it all.

    I'd rather target playing defense like the Lakers, Nets or Spurs than playing offense like the Kings.

    As long as we don't play Mavs defense and Spurs offense we will be fine.
