    I know you guys want the best but then again, doesn't everybody?

    -You have to remember that we're a very young team, the average age is like 24 for pete's sake.
    -First time in a while, everybody is back from injury. Not to mention, James Posey being added. They just need more time to congel to each other.
    -Rockets have been a guard's team since Hakeem left, and Francis and Mobley needs more time to develope time playing into the new offense.
    -Yao is a rookie, he has leaped building to building in terms of his development. He has been playing non stop for 2 years!!! And still has to adjust to the American culture. He can't score 30/16 each game
    -Griffin is 20 years old, he's younger then alot of the draftees that come into the league. Give him time.

    Don't expect the rockets to play like the kings and lakers or even the pacers, because they're much more experienced than we are. But as the team goes through its growing pains, I am convinced the rockets will be "the team to beat".

    The Kings have taken a while to rebuild. Now their team is awesome. Patience! :) The Pacers were always a good team. The Lakers were, too. It's L.A.!

    We are three games out of the third spot in the West. If now is not the time to panic I dont what is.

    Why do we need the 3rd spot? I really mean this. I want to know.

    Except that Rudy is a wee bit over 24 and has quite a few years' experience under his belt. While alot of the inconsistency on the players' parts can be overlooked, coaching errors (like leaving Rice in for loooonnnng periods of time while he's clanking 3's and getting torched on defense) can't be so easily excused. It's not that Rudy is making a ton of mistakes, it's just that this team is at a stage where it needs Rudy not to repeatedly make the glaring ones.
