Isnt it odd that PF and PGs are our strengths now?

    to think back of the days of maloney , francis, moochie norris, twilight years of mark jackson and obviously Rafer to now Brooks and Lowrey puts a smile on my face.

    and the pf situation has even been crazier. we had eddie griffin, mo taylor, cato (sometimes), twilight years of charles oakly to now possibly the toughest 3 man pf rotation in the league of scola, landry and hayes! :eek:

    i guess its true that you really can appreciate what you have after going through those bad years in those slots.

    go rockets!

    I was talking about this last night. I am and have been a die hard Rockets fan since the 80's, and I have to say that the "ISO" years were terrible. This is a welcome transition!

    PG was a strength with Francis. Steve was a very good player here. I still don't want to call PG a strength right now, just based off a couple of playoff games. PF we have definitely improved on.

    What do you think the years with hakeem were? Iso Hakeem, inside out. When you have a bog man that is what you did then. It is still effective with a good big man but fronting is the new wave. Which works

    Our team is in the best hands with DM. He has brought our team from 1st round failures to 1 game away from beating the Fakers and the Western Conference Finals. Our coach is top 10 too. (Hall of Fame with a ring) ;)
