I have seen many posts lately. To me, many fans are trying to blind themself lately. Since Tmac was gone, Yao's done, what kind team do u think Rocket is? My answer is it is a rebuild team, far away from being contendor, out reach of playoff . It is painful to accept it, but it is the current situation. Lets break down Rockets: 1, coach. RA is not doult a top 5 coach in league. But! he is not a coach for rebluiding. Like other elite coaches, they all don't like to use new players, and that is not a secret. So, what is the big dealt for firing RA? RA need to coach a playoff team, Rockets need to go for rebuild mode, end of story. starters: Rockets don't have quality starters, and the situation has been for years, which also make me worry most. point guard: check! thank godd for giving us Lowry. Lowry has proven himself. He is a pg of allstars. shooting guard: check! kevin martin martin has been in league for years now, his stable stats speak for his value. a miller/ray type of scorer. a weapon must to have for win. small forword: miss! even when battier was here. Chase: got potentials, unproven, worthy to give a try. courtney: bench player, already reached his ceiling. Big forword: miss! Scola: lack of defense, geting old, not a good starter. better trade him when his stock is still high. Patterson: high potentials! need to give him more play times and better training, but still cant fullfil for the position yet. Hope he is the second coming "lowry" Jorden Hill: a trade piece, a role player, nothing more. Center:Miss Yao:he is done, even he come back. hope can get some back from a trade. chuck: a role player. I like chuck, but! please dont overrate him. he is a back up c/F, nothing more. Thabeet: a failed draft. That's what I see, a team missed 3 starters, but have few nice young guys. Rockets has a long to go for getting back to top, and that starts with finding new star core. Therefore, In Morey, I trust.
