Serious Discussion: Rockets better now or last year?

This team is better than last year's/ This team has more of the "killer instinct " at the end of the game to close.

I wish we did not have so many old, old players. Wesley can't hit the ocean from the shore. Ward should have never been signed.

This team is better, more fun to watch.

I can tolerate this coach......

 

Too early to tell but I am hopeful that the team is the real deal. JVG has changed the style of play and made it more wide open, last years team was capable of playing this wide open style but JVG wanted to run the offense through Yao last year, so its kind of hard to compare the teams apple to apple.

If the Rox can play at a .650 clip in February I will be thrilled and would say that we've moved ahead and made this team better than last year.

 

The answer to this question is: Dribblemania esta en Orlando.

This team would beat the tar out of last year's team.

People, quite worrying about the age of the team. The only ages are matter are those of TMAC and Yao. The veterans that surround them enable them to develop. The veterans around them are also replacable. Sure, it would be great to have stromile wsift. but he's the PF we need for a championship. We have to understand this is a reloading/reorganizing year. Let the process unfold. Let Weatherspoon's n Taylors contracts fall out.

 

We are a better team this year hands down. We had no business winning SA, Dallas or Sac last year and before. The western conference is much tougher for us this year than last year. Phoenix and Seattle are much better, and lakers, minny dropped to our level. So we have more competitors than last year. Last year, you just know that squad couldnt beat the elite teams, but this year with Tmac we are a shade better.

 

We beat SA once, Sac twice two years ago. We beat Dallas once last year.

 

That was about it in 2 years 24 games against them. Most of these games we were either start being blown out in the 3rd quarter, or never had a chance to catch them entire game. When we had a close game, you just knew Steve's going to screw it up, like he did dribbling out of clock. This year we were blown out by Dallas once, and that was before squad change and only time. Even the games we lost, they were pretty close. These teams are the yard stick to get a sense where we are in my opinion. We dont have fear when we play these teams anymore. They are still better teams than us, but we know we can beat them if we play it right. Whereas last year, it's pretty much a prayer.

We are 4-4 so far against SA,Dallas,Sac. All 8 games excpet 1 were pretty close. Granted we did steal one in the first match against SA.

 

thegary, I am Austrian. From Vienna.

 

Rock me Amadeus!

 

We are much more likely to win a 7-game series this year than last. Put enough of those together, and you've got a ring. I don't think anything else matters.

 

Yes, this was the only Austrian record that ever made it to the top of the U.S. Charts.

Sorry, for going off-topic!

 

This year's team definetely. CD's move has so far panned out.
