When Yao gets back, the rockets are definitely one of the best, but I would say # 3 right now. Mavs & Suns are the first 2 but that is it. They are better than the spurs now, they are lokking old and not like they have in the past. They are also better than the Jazz and Lkers when fully healthy. No one else even comes close to any of those teams.
When healthy the rockets can go for the championship like 5 or 6 other teams. From there on it depends on the little things and the refs who will win it.
You can say rockets is no.1 in NBA. But you have to come back to the real world. We are by far No.6 if everything goes well, but we may still win a champ. We need more luck than top 5 teams to win it.
