That! And contain Bonzi of some of his idiotic behavior on the floor and waiting to get his bully azzzzz thrown out of the game!
Hmm, I heard Mike James has a ring. But it didn't quite help us in the '04-'05 1st round playoff series vs Dallas, did it? If you want to equate championship experience in overseas leagues (Yao's CBA title doesn't count) with experience in NBA postseason championship series, you might as well count Battier's NCAA championship and his numerous titles at collegiate level.
I would say Parrish, McHale, and Bird wasn't the most athletic frontline in the 80s, I don't think they had too many problems.
We got three potential knuckleheads on this team (if you have more than one, they breed ). And I don't even have to name them. But in the end, I don't think there will be any huge drama and I don't think they will be our biggest problem. I think our biggest problem is new coach, new system, and a bunch of new rotation players. Hopefully we will be over that problem when the playoffs roll around.
This thing that people keep bringing up is team chemistry. As i do not have privliges to do so, could someone start the thread on chemistry between the players- will it be an issue, so the rest of the rockets fans can have there say about the though. Most seem to think that the team is full of hot-heads that wont be able to work together. Check out the video on NBA.com, the team looks tight as, joking around together and shaking hands. Who would of thought Bonzi and Yao shaking hands and laughing together. T-mac is iniating the rookies. Yao has massive friendships with Franchise and T-mac, and T-mac and Franchise have something in common so they must be good mates. So please someone start a thread about this, so the focus is on it as i would like to see what people see is wrong with the team in terms of chemistry...
I expect no injuries so the the biggest problem could be our turnovers and chemistry. Really. But everythin needs work so if we do that we'll be only a lot better
Tou're wrong. Too many injuries in last 2 years so now we cannot even think about that. I know I'm so optimistic...
