    If and I mean If the rockets go on to win the NBA Finals this year does Yao Ming get a ring? and is he considered an NBA Champion? No offense to Yao but if he doesnt play how is he an NBA Champion. anyways just a thought.

    why do ppl suddenly have championship aspirations all of a sudden?

    this team will make te playoffs, but getting out of the first round will be very tough unless we get a favorable matchup.

    and yes, yao will get a ring b/c he's part of the team.

    Need to focus on getting home court advantage first before we talk playoffs and winning championships.

    If he's part of the 12 man active squad going into the playoffs, then he'll get a ring.

    Everyone in the organization gets a ring. The players, the upper staff, the coaching staff, the owner and even players at the end of the bench who barely play or will play but not the players Rockets drafted and are playing in different league around the world and/or are in D league during the post season games.

    Basically all the active members of the organization

    He gets and deserves a ring because he will be PART of a championship TEAM.

    Key words being part and team.

    I am amazed at how quickly fans forget that he has helped us out the in games we have won so far sans the Wizards game.

    Come on people! What is going on here? Every time one of our players get injured, are we going to want to throw him away like a piece of trash?

    Of course he will get a ring, he deserves it, but only if the Rockets won the title!

    What's with all these "what if" threads lately.

    Is it simply a thing that Yao haters on this board can finally come out now that Yao is going to miss the rest of the season?

    What's the next thread?

    "If T-Mac, Scola, and Battier all get injured, and the Rockets go on to win the championship as an 8th seed, do we trade them all and build around Deke/Landry/Green/Head/Brooks?"

    Very true. Actually you missed one thing, every Rockets fan will get a ring either, like us in clutchfans.

    It's so crazy. They go from "Brooksball's Playoffs! No Way!!" thread to "What if we win it all without Yao" threads? They are wacking for thinking that Yao's injury suddenly makes us the team to beat, suddenly.

    I believe we will make it to the western conference finals. A championship is a bit of a stretch, but not out of the realm of possibilities.

    Mutumbo!!!!

    Let's always try for the best. Anything may happen in this world; but nothing will be achieved unless you give it a try.

    Go Rockets! Billions of Chinese basketball fans are with you!
