The Rockets' New Year's Resolution and Past Year's Thanks!!

I'm thankful the the emergence of Luther Head, and our improved supporting cast (Battier, Wells, Snyder), and the effort that Juwan and Deke has been putting into their game. Heck Juwan's playing like a decent starter these days. All of this has managed to soften the blow of injuries to both our superstars.

Of course I'm also thankful that this year's T-mac injury wasn't that bad - and that the injuries to Yao, Snyder have occurred early in the season so they'll be back when it counts. Compared to some other teams, ie Hornets, Heat, Memphis, our injuries aren't bad.

 

Thankful for Luther Head's emergance as one of the rockets possible go to guys, and absolutely cold blooded three pointers. Thankful for Hornets giving us Snyder for absolutely nothing. Thankful for T-Mac is back! Thankful for Battier coming in and providing offense when needed and defense 24/7.


Resolution: Keith Jones is not needed for the rest of the season. He deserves a break after last season.

 

yeah, I'm thankful for Head, too. But I was on Thanksgiving as well. And actually every weekend.

So what was the question...what do I resolve to be more thankful for this year? Head?

 

I am thankful for:
1. T-Mac appearing to be healthy again
2. Head being a great shooter
2. Juwon Howard stepping it up and not only scoring but rebounding.
3. Not having Ryan Bowen running around like a chicken with his head cut off not being able to score if his life depended on it.

Resolutions are:
1. Either play Bonzi more or trade him- that back injury has JVG doghouse written all over it (get Andre Miller here somehow!)
2. Chuck Hayes to get a new pair of hands cause he seems to fumble away 4-5 easy layups a game
3. Rafer to become more consistent or make a deal for Andre Miller somehow!

 

Successes of the Past Year:

(1) The fleecing of Jerry West in bringing Shane Battier to Houston
(2) The continued emergence of Yao Ming as a franchise player

Resolutions/Hopes for New Year - there's only one: Recoveries and continued health for Tracy, Yao, Kirk, and Bobby Sura

Thank you team Coaches, I would recommend a firside chat with JVG inorder that he might be more flexible in 2007 and that he will build for the future and stop the 'Win Now' at all costs senario.
2007 could be a very good year for our darlings of the court especially if they are keen on jewelry.
