http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dime-090121 Hopefully Tracy is right and he really is "back". Ron should also be on the court soon and Yao is beasting it up right now. I really want to make all these writers eat their words.
Player wise, I agree, but team wise, how can you doubt a team with all these injuries and still 10 games over .500 ??
how can it be a disappointment when the entire preseason coo about the Rockets was health, health, health. besides, we nearly beat that Lakers team w/o Artest.
its going to be a fun ride. we will shine at the end of the season. by then, they will all be on our bandwagon, much like last year.
Rockets are disappointing as far as they are not as good as we thought they would be. A lot of people expected them to be up there with the elite. But we are clearly not the most disappointing team considering our record when we have only played 2 or 3 games with a full healthy team. Most disappointing team is clearly the Toronto Raptors.
Things like "they will never be healthy enough to get Yao, Tmac, and Artest on the game page" makes me smile. I can't wait to see them become our biggest fans
how can you be 2 games out of the second seed and be the most dissapointing team in the league? Does that even make sense? With all the injuries our record isn't as good as it could be but that's just a lazy answer.
I find some of these soo funny... I think the only mid season report that is well thought out is the Yahoo one. The team is competing without Artest and Mac...only a few games off the 2nd spot in the West and we are yet to be healthy and have an easier 2nd half schedule than first. It's sad some of these people get paid to write their opinions. Anyone with half a brain would point out that this team is so deep it competes without 2 of its best 3 players so if they are healthy for a period of time together... look out.
I actually take it as a compliment. The Rox are expected to be a top 4 team and are 'only' second tier right now. I think that's the complaint. As for the media harping on our injuries, what can I say? It's happened every single year, it's happening this year, and until this squad can be 100% by playoff time we have nothing to refute it. It's the truth.
Sensitive clutchfans...the Rockets have been a disappointment to most of us. I expected better from them. Hell, I expected alot more from Artest, Tmac, Brent, and Head. Thank God, for Von Wafer. To think I wanted Strawberry to make the team and not Von. We could probably use a little Strawberry right now, but many of us were way off on that one. You guys have to also understand that Chris Broussard is the only person who wrote that the Rockets are a disappointment, not the entire ESPN staff.
