    and plays as good as Kobe this year. Are we really that far off from the Lakers?

    2009-2010 Houston Rockets Roster
    C: David Andersen/Chuck Hayes/Pops Mensah Bonsu
    PF: Luis Scola/Carl Landry/Joey Dorsey
    SF: Trevor Ariza/Shane Battier/Chase Budinger
    SG: Tracy McGrady/Rashad McCants/Jermaine Taylor
    PG: Aaron Brooks/Kyle Lowry

    Injured: Yao Ming

    T-Mac = Kobe
    Luis and Carl < Gasol
    Andersen <<< Bynum
    Ariza and Battier > Artest
    Brooks and Lowry = Fisher and the guard from Charlotte (forgot his name)

    I think we're not as bad as people think we are...

    i dont like the word pretend its almost like saying lets pretend the Astros are better than what we see right now. I would put it as best case scenario that t-mac comes back to elite status, cuz i feel he still can, and that brooks plays well and scola and everybody else. That sounds better.

    Alright, I'll play too.

    Maybe not "= Kobe", but if McGrady can equal himself from '07-'08...



    Then yes - we're like a crappy Lakers.

    Pretend? I think its pretty much understood that Tmac is going to come back in the best shape of his life. I'm very excited about it and I predict that he will be in the MVP runnings with Kobe and Lebron at the end of the season. This guy has NEVER worked very hard before and has always been a top 10 or better player in this league. It's clear that Tmac is on a mission.

    The only thing that is more ridiculous than pretending McGrady could ever be Kobe is to not recognize Brooks/Lowry is a huge upgrade over Fisher/Farmar/and that other dude.

    LA? Are you kidding me? I am thinking about Cleveland instead.

    Sure, McGrady is no LeBron but if he returns to what he once was can't we be as good as Cavs? I understand it is tougher in the West but come on, Ariza, Aaron, Shane, Carl, Luis are better than West, Mo, Varejao, etc...

    We just need Brooks to explode as MO did last season. That's my opinion.

    People on this board are overrating Kobe. He starts to get wins on a loaded team and all of a sudden he is the next MJ. Back when he was struggling to get .500 with kwame brown everyone said they didn't want him for t-mac.

    If t-mac returns Battier becomes a non-factor and hopefully gets moved by mid-season.
