look, i'm perfectly fine with flying under the radar. a lot of you should be too. I've never been this excited in a very long time, but it is so much sweeter to be flying under the radar while proving people wrong. I firmly believe that this team strives when playing with a chip on their shoulder. This is the spot we all want the rockets to be. It feels so much better whippin on teams when you get disrespected. Let the haters hate as we rampage through them. And in regards to Jemele Hill, she needs to step away from the keyboard. "Dark Horse"? Are you kidding me. We were a dark horse for the past four years. If we're a dark horse than who are the "white" ones? Not too many teams ahead of us on a talent standpoint. Also, a lot of these so called analyst seem to forget we won 22 friggin games last year, 12 of them w/out our best player. That's called CHEMISTRY right there. Injuries will be our main concern I believe. It definitely won't be chemistry issues. We have one of the most cohesive squads in the entire league. And for this reason, I am proud to be a fan of this franchise.
That's what the hell I was wondering...I stopped reading after I saw that unforgivable blasphemy. We're winning at least 58 games this year. Book it.
Wow what a great analysis. Lets see if you take away KG, Pierce and Ray ????? or Kobe, Gasol and Odom ???? or Dwill, Boozer and AK ???? or Duncan Manu and Parker ??? etc etc Wow this guy just suck, can I get a job on ESPN> Even as a rocket fan I can make a better fair smart analysis of any team in the NBA. This guy should work as a politician spinning everything with complete nonsense.
Jemelle Hill is the moron who also said that Alabama could compete with an NFL team. I've long despised her.
Sure, they look imposing now, but can the likes of Artest, Battier, Yao, McGrady, Scola and Alston stay healthy mentally and physically, and finally put the Rockets in serious title contention? I say yes.
Fakers and Jazzholes are not ahead of us! Screw that! We should be on the 2 spots, being a little bit conservative!
Man all because Holinger picked Utah of all teams to be #1. Otherwise, utah's ranking wouldn't be so damned skewed!
She's the same dumb broad that said Kobe is better than Jordan. Disregard anything that comes out of her mouth.. as you should do with most females.
