    I think adding Yao will guarantee it being the most prolific backcourt in Rockets History. Inside out with a great low post scorer and passer in Yao means wide open looks all day. Yao should be highly effecient as well.

    yea yao will slow down the offense but i hope that this "pf" we bring in is a "bosh" type player so we could run without yao at some points.

    i'm thinking 40ish with Yao. They'll both sacrifice, and I'd estimate about 16 for AB and around 24 for Martin

    Wish we had one of those...

    Although in theory that is exactly what Hill brings (perhaps more the 18-20 footer than the 3ball).

    Let's hope they get something out of that guy over the summer.

    I'd thrown in Durant + Westbrook in the mix.

    Ill put Brooks' cap at about 17.5 max for next year depending on how healthy Yao is. Martin, anywhere from 19-24, all depends on what they do with him in the offense.

    The back court duo that is taking shape appears to have serious potential. Once Brooks and Martin got in sync they have been lighting it up. I expect this to continue, and with the return of Lowry, the Rockets may be working on something they have not had in many years, a potent back court. You know, I like the Temple kid too. I hope they keep him.

    It would easily be over 43 without Yao. We'll see what happens after the big fella returns.

    They would definitely score more than moes in the Gay Unicorn Flash Game.

    without anyone else that can score, i'd expect them to get the majority of shots. therefore, yeah... and it's not a good thing, we have no inside presence.
