RESPECT! http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/marty_burns/10/29/power.rankings/index.html 4 - Houston Rockets New coach Rick Adelman should boost their offense, especially now that he has a quality power forward in Luis Scola to pair with Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. It should be enough to make them a top contender in the West, assuming Yao and T-Mac can stay healthy.
Ok why not (jokin' but still nobody would like to read it. It's about your repute I think. I meant it's pretty shoort cause it is. But I agree with it
Why is the word respect tossed around so much? I don't care if ANY analyst, team, individual, blob, cyber ninja, or space mutant respects us or not. As long as we can win a ring or get deep into the playoffs, I am contempt.
I agree with his top 5 (all in the Western Conference) but count me skeptical of the Pistons at #6. They are a team on the decline.
I hate the Mavs, just like everyone else here, but the Rockets still need to prove themselves this season. Let's see what the rankings say after the first month of play.
Fourth??? That's just another way of saying third worst loser. Anyone who doesn't choose us as number one is racist, anti-semitic and probably eats puppies and babies. Hell, I vote that the words "Houston Rockets" replaces the number one. So it goes "Houston Rockets" "two" "three" "four"...or if you go to McDonald's, if you want the big mac combo, you say you want the number houston rockets, or if you get testicular cancer and they need to remove a nut, you have to tell people "I only have Houston Rockets testicle." Mcgrady's jersey should be number houston rockets and yao's should be houston rockets houston rockets. And in the Matrix, everyone thinks that keanu reeves, who plays shouton tecksor, is the Houston Rockets.
i particularly like the part about puppies and babies but one question, even though its taboo to ask, who was houston rockets last year? i guess it doesn't matter, b/c the houston rockets will be houston rockets this year wait? i'm confusing myself and my houston rocket testicle.
i feel as if we are a bit overhyped at the moment. it will take players time to gel together, and more time to learn a new system with a new philosophy. we may be that good by the end of the season, but i doubt we start off that strong.
