The Tiredest Cliche of the Preseason award for 2007 goes to... * Adelman is ruining Yao by playing him in the high post. Other nominees: * Rafer's not the real starter -- they're just showcasing him to enhance his trade value. * Maybe we should have stayed with JVG after all. * Scola can't play NBA-level defense. * Battier is the most over-rated player in the league. * Mike James is a ballhog. * Francis is chubby. Feel free to add your own.
* we're going to trade for Kobe * TNT doesn't like the Rockets.. that's why we're on a billion times this year
"The Rockets haven't made it past the first round in 10 years" "With McGrady's ailing back blah blah blah" "Yao needs to dominate blah blah blah"
"Steve Francis has very low B-ball IQ" "Luther Head is too short for a SG" "Chuck Hayes gives up height to his opponent" <br> scary part is those three have been said every year we have had these players...
*can the Rox co-exist with Yao, T-Mac, Bonzi, Scola, Francis, James, and new coach* *Kobe could be traded to._________________* *Can Yao stay healthy for most of the season?*
"Steve Novak cannot play defense" "Kirk Snyder has no jumpshot, but sure can jump" "Can Yao and T-Mac co-exist" <br> ^ last one is a remark from Kenny Smith
