    lol a B? I'm pretty sure we deserve like a D+ or a C-. Like Artest said. They feel like they are just starting training camp. Another injury plagued season...

    Midseason Grade for Rockets is 25-16.....if you have to give out a letter grade, that would put Rockets at a B- assuming 6 teams per letter grade.

    But that's not the best way to grade teams. You have to take into account preseason expectations. The Rockets being 25-16 at the midpoint is not the same as if OKC had been 25-16 at the midpoint in the season.

    Nah, I think they still could have won at least 7 or 8 more games.

    We are only 1 game over .500, that doesn't even count the game where we blew a double digit lead in the 4th qt to the Spurs when Paker and Manu didn't play.

    C- sounds about right.

    Edit : Meant to say we are only 1 game over .500 against teams under .500.

    'Rick Adelman often doesn't know who's available until tip. Somehow, he manages to work around it all and piece together a rotation that has Houston on a 50-win pace."



    COMMON, that is worth an A- at least... not anywhere near a B. If this guy can get us out of the first round he will deserve coach of the year.

    "The unsung brigade -- led by Von Wafer, Aaron Brooks and Carl Landry -- is an athletic mix that has kept the Rockets in contention while their higher-profile teammates recover."

    Dead on.

    Their record is worthy of a B grade. I give them a C because of blowing games against Indiana, Memphis, and other lottery bound teams.

    I agree about ur opinion on the losing to scrubs ... that was lame..

    but still... considering all the line up changes.. T-Mac drama.. then Ron-ron/shane injuries. etc.. I still think 30-20 is fair enough for a record..

    If they continue to lose to scrubs despite having a settled roster.. then my rating would be D ..

    This is my feeling also. The Rox have a lot of talent. When our bench was allowed to start games and the "stars" were sat down they played incredible. The way in which the rotations were getting changed when people came back from injury was just killing us. Not to mention the regular rotations during a game.

    An "A" without Artest and T-Mac and a "C-" with them which eqauls a "B".
