. For the Rockets to win a title, they need clutch players to step up when needed.. What freaking NBA bizarro world did you watch? GLEN RICE DIDNT DO SQUAT!!! Who's 'shooting' helped the Lakers win that year vs the Sixers?? They didn't get noodles out of Rice, it was big shot Rob that saved the day. The ROCKETS NEED HEART, one more player with HEART and desire and a chip on his shoulder.. Who?? MIKE JAMES!
so Battier has heart? he doesn't even have the courage to even think of shooting the ball during the playoffs.. we had mike james 2 years ago and we still did not get past the second round.. we had a lot of heart on that team.. sura, barry, tmac, yao, james, bowen, etc.. but we cannot keep up with dallas' youth, speed, and athleticsm..
do you think we had the same athleticsm as the heat? some of them maybe old but they were one of the best athletes in the game.. just like what riley said 15 strong.. zo, williams, haslem, posey, walker > mutombo, sura, bowen, weatherspoon, barry
Heart AND athleticm would be nice. We had heart but no athleticm. Also, this year if Yao can continue his post-toe-surgery play, Dallas will have no answer for Yao. Virtually all NBA champs have one dominating goto player (see Wade). We didn't have that dominating performance against Dallas ...it may be different this time around.
rudy gay doesn't = rockets championship we dont have weatherspoon or barry anymore we dont know if sura is coming back battier is a start. remember we SHOULD have beaten the Mavs a couple years back in the playoffs, but we let the series go to far where they could exploit our weaknesses on the athetic side. if we made a couple more shots, we wouldnt be talking about this crap now.
battier doesn't = rockets championship if we made a couple more shots? do you think battier will have the nerve to take a couple more shots on playoff time?
