    STRENGTHS: No coach likes to let his players shoot 3-pointers quite as much as Tomjanovich does, so Rice should be the perfect fit as long as his chronically sore left foot holds up. The backcourt of Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley won't be forced to dump the ball inside as much as before, freeing them to be even more creative.

    WEAKNESSES: The loss of Maurice Taylor to a season-ending injury and Olajuwon through a trade leaves the Rockets seriously undersized on the front line, a problem that wasn't helped when Golden State matched their offer to center Marc Jackson. Kelvin Cato and Kenny Thomas are the starting center and power forward.

    PLAYOFF PICTURE: They'll be in the hunt for the last spot.

    Forgot to mention acquisition on Willis...we're not so undersized now.

    Well thats not so bad. At least they said we will be in the hunt for the last playoff spot. They are not accounting for us getting Willis which beefs up our front line just a little bit. But overall not bad all...

    Consider compliment with understated addition in the rosters, WILIS! He is the man, If Cato will plunk Rockets 101!

    This is one of the most accurate predictions by a major publication that I have seen so far.
