[NBA.com] Rockets bench is the deepest in the league

I think our bench unit is solid and is better than some starting lineups in the league.

First unit

Brooks
Martin
Battier
Scola
Yao

Second unit

Lowry
Lee
Budinger
Hayes
Miller

Our third unit

Smith
Taylor
???
Patterson
Hill

 

LOL even with those guys I don't see how the Celts have a better bench then us. JO is washed up, Bradley's looking like a bust, West/Wafer/Nate Rob are all pscho and extremely streaky. Lowry, PP and C-bud alone is better than that bunch.

The only bench comparable is the Lakers:
Odom
Matt Barnes
Fisher
Machine
Derek Character (who's one of the underrated rookies this year)

 

Now all Morey gotta do is build one of the best starting lineups by next off season, while maintaining the best bench, somewhat.

 

Brad Miller arebounder? Lee scorer?. Look at bostons bench. Thats much better then ours.

Shaq
Jumain O'neal
Davis
Daniels
West
Robinson

 

I think it could be one of the better case scenarios considering that we don't know Yao's foot is going to react NBA ballgames. Taking into consideration the fact that at one point, Yao's injury was labeled as career ending, I think the author's tempered optimism is warranted.

 

I have to disagree

Bench Match ups...

Lowry > Robinson
C.Lee/Taylor > West/Wafer
Budinger > Daniels
Hayes/P.P.= Davis
Miller/Hill < S.O./J.O.

Rockets have en edge off the Bench IMO

dido i mean ditto

 

Poll on NBA.COM "Which bench is the deepest in the league?" Rocket's not in poll.

There's a poll in nba.com right now that asks, "Which bench is the deepest bench in the league?" and the Rockets aren't even an option on the list of teams on the poll. The four teams they picked on the poll are the Suns, Magic, Mavs, and Bucks...

Uhhh what the FUNK?

POLL

Results:

Which team has the best bench?

Suns 11096 - 43%
Magic 8254 - 32%
Mavs 4993 - 19%
Bucks 1517 - 6%

 

LOL! Wow

 

Media attention is overrated. The more underrated you are, the bigger the achievements. EX: 22 game winning streak. If Heat went on a 22 game winning streak, no one would be surprised.

 

LOL Suns! Wtf...

 

Suns DO have a very deep bench.

But no Rockets? What the Funk indeed.

Rockets have to be the in the top 3 or 4 deep teams.

 

Also...the poll question was "Who has the best bench in the NBA" not the deepest. There's a difference.

 

No Celtics either. Weird choices, actually.

 

That too.

Rockets def at the top as far bench talent.

 

they left the lakers, celtics, and blazers off the list too. i wouldn't be too upset. this poll is pretty much crap.

 

Who is on the Bucks bench? I don't think I can name more than 3 players on that entire team.

 

They actually got a pretty nice bench. Salmons or Redd, Chris Douglas Roberts, Jon Brockman, Larry Sanders, Drew Gooden, Carlos Delfino, Keyon Dooling. They can make some noise in the playoffs.

 

Jennings, Bogut, Redd,.....trying to think of one more.......can't.
