Poor Adelman, he is now starting to realize how much damage JVG did to the offensive side of the ROX. No one used that side of their brain for the last 3 years except for Tmac and YAO

This is a phrase of article about 1990 nba final in between portland blazers and bad boys, copied from NBA.com ecyclopedia. I found its interesting that this portland team have alot similarity with the current rockets team, here it is :

The Lakers' demise opened the way for the Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference. The Blazers had always been considered a talented, dangerous team in the West. But for four straight years they had lost in the first round of the playoffs, and the subsequent frustrations led to team conflicts, particularly between coach Mike Schuler and 6-foot-7 shooting guard Clyde Drexler. In the middle of the 1988-89 season, the team had released Schuler and promoted his assistant, Rick Adelman, himself a former Portland guard.

In the offseason, the Blazers acquired veteran power forward Buck Williams from the New Jersey Nets. They had a quality starter at every position. Drexler, the high-flying scoring guard, led them in scoring with a 24.3 average, while Terry Porter, at 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, gave them a big point guard with quickness. Jerome Kersey was a 6-foot-7 leaper at small forward who averaged 16.0 points and put out an inspired defensive effort just about every night.

you guys see that? your thought?

Drexler was = or > than T-Mac has been the last couple years.
Yao is >> Duckworth.
James OR Francis (you can only play one PG at a time) is at best = Porter.
Battier > Kersey.
Scola < Buck Williams (was a 3-time all-star)
Rox bench > Blazer bench (Cliff Robinson, Ainge).
Adelman is > or = 90s Adelman.

overall, the Rockets are slightly to somewhat better than Portland who were a 63 win team in the loaded west.
