Not a big deal that Baker made the roster over Braggs. If the Rockets are playing well, baring injury, I dont see Baker EVER getting off the bench. He is there to be a cheerleader and maybe play a few mins if the Rockets are blowing someone out.
Baker and Braggs are kind of interchangable. And Baker has experience on his side. In the playoffs you want experienced players, not rookies.(I know technically Braggs isn't a rookie but he is close enough). I always felt anyways that given the minutes Baker could suprise alot of people.
I think VB is the ultimate X-factor. I predict that if VB can step up and contribute in some minutes other than in garbage time (which I doubt will be any), Rockets will win it all this year.
vin baker heard there might be champagne if the rockets win the championship and wanted to make sure he was there for it....
