    The media and pretty much everyone on clutch fans is praising the Rockets for their teamwork,chemistry and effort, but is this why the Rockets are a winning team? I happen to disagree with the media and most of clutch fans the Rockets are winning because they have talent. Rick Adleman is not a magician, these rockets deserve credit. The combination of Landry and Ab is emerging right now I would say they might become the next Deron Williams and Boozer. Ab is a top ten point in the NBA and in my opinion the only thing stopping Landry from being an allstar is playing time. Luis Scola is nearly at a double double every night yes hes not athletic but he has serious game and in my opinion thats talent. Shane Battier might not be a offensive stud or great athlete but his defense it top notch. Being a top defender in the NBA means yes you have talent. Trevor Ariza does have his flaws but he is an amazing athlete and also a very good defender. Kyle Lowry is a pitbull who could definitely be a starter if given the opportunity. Cbud pure shooter jumps out the gym yup thats talent. The Rockets do play hard but its time for us to recognize that these guys are legit their a talented team who is led by two guys in AB and Landry who definitely could be future all stars

    True but not the point, the point is the Rockets have a talented squad regardless of how much the guys are getting paid

    OK so your saying that since i did not use paragraphs you could not understand the post? If you could understand the post their should not be a problem but i dont want to argue about grammar at 2 am so how about this what do you think about the content of the post do you agree with me or disagree and why.

    We have talented guys but overall the TEAM is not as talented as teams with inferior records such as the Clippers and the Kings.

    Read some post game comments by our own players, they mention effort and teamwork countless times.


    PS. Use paragraphs, it makes stuff much easier to read, your post is too convoluted and most people will give up by the second line.

    It's not about grammar, it's about making it easy for the reader to read your post. As it is, I see a block of consonants, vowels, and periods. And sorry I didn't read it, just wanted to give some advice next time you post.

    LOL were not as talented as the clippers and Kings once again i would have to disagree. Of course the players say that what do you expect them to say. But hey i guess your not intelligent enough to understand that the guys are being PC.
    PS just because you use the word convoluted does not change the fact that your a complete douche i have read some of your comments and posts and you know absolutely nothing about the rockets or basketball

    PS your a douche

    Aaaron Brooks will never be near Deron Williams and is not a top 10 point guard in this league in my opinion. I wish he could be as good as D-Will, but he just lacks the natural talent.

    Landry will never be as good as boozer just due to the lack of physical build he has compared to that of Boozer, although he will be a great bench player and possible starter for the upcoming future.

    But to say that the Tandem of Landry/Brooks would ever be as potent as D-Will and Boozer is unrealistic.

    You disagree because you are a moron.

    See i can be childish too, now go tell mommy i hurt your feelings.

    Ps. Are you stupid? Convoluted is not a big word...

    You should be the last person on the planet to judge other people's intelligence moron, if you ever make it to primary school you should quit immediately and get a job scrubbing toilets, it may be a hard life but hey, it will be the best you can do.

    Lol well well it seems like your feelings are hurt as well lol I disagree because unlike you i have watched Sacramento play this year and I have watched the clippers play as well. Marcus Camby can block some shots from the weakside but his one on one d is soft. Baron Davis is not the same player he used to be. Chris Kaman is merely average. Is anyone on the clips talented enough to play some defense? Landry or brooks is better then anything on the clips roster except for Blake Griffin. Sacramento more talented then the Rockets too why because of Tyreke Evans and who else Kevin Martin ya talent does not matter when you make Tmac look like the Cal Ripken of basketball. Once again Landry and Brooks have more talent then anyone on the kings except Tyreke. I guess shooting 58 percent has nothing to do with talent, brooks amazing speed and shooting nothing to do with talent, battiers lock down d nothing to do with talent.

    Its all good it will probably be my last post. I get the sense that most people here dont give a F about the rockets or basketball they just want to talk sh for the sake of talking sh. Its not a big deal to me. I take time to read posts and i never knew that so many people would have a hard time reading what i thought was a simple post. I had a point to make and i did so its all good if you guys dont want to take the time to read my post thats cool. Unlike you guys I could care less about paragraphs or grammar I just wanted to give an opinion about the rockets.

    I'm normally not big on perfect grammar, but that opening block of text is just a horrible mess. Not even paragraph problems. Just annoying to read, so I stopped.

    Wow thank god a reply thats actually about basketball I agree that Brooks is not as good as Deron Williams but I do think Landry can be just as good if not better then Boozer Landry and boozer are about the same height Boozer is a little thicker but Landry is definitely not weak and i would have to say Landry is quicker and more explosive then boozer and also if AB isnt top ten how high do you have him rated

    Read the thread, USE PARAGRAPHS.

    I agree Camby is overrated and Davis is old, but that is not why the Clippers are a more talented team than the Rockets, it is also funny that you mention Blake Griffin who has yet to play a game.

    Anyways, Kaman is not average, you don't score 20 points by being average, especially for a center, i would also kill for Eric Gordon, heard of him? And then you have guys like Thorton (and maybe even DeAndre).

    Clips doesn't play well as a team and doesn't always play hard, which is why they have a bad record.

    Tyreke, Martin, Thompson, Hawes, Cassipi, Greene...Inexperienced guys coached by a noob, the one thing they don't lack is talent.

    What you said about Shane is ridiculous, Shane relies on his smarts, talent does not equal Bball IQ, guys like JR are talented, guys like Shane have high IQ.
