they werenīt that bad imo. Itīs not like the rockets are a 20 win team or anything. Yeah, people think that seeing the lineup but they will be much better than that. Dunno about the playoffs, but they wonīt be far back and will be tough to beat.
Fun team, will win a lot of people over with their play.

What I am telling you is that the Rockets are not going to give up all year. They'll be blown out in some games; it happens to every team. But they might be the toughest team to blow out outside of the big five (your Lakers, Magic, Cavaliers, Celtics and Spurs, listed in order of the length of last season's postseason run, in order not to tick off sensitive fans) because they absolutely won't give up.
That's the sportswriter take.
The basketball take also tells you that this team's rotation will give Rick Adelman everything he needs on each given night. No, it won't give him a 7 1/2-footer with skills or a do-everything wing stud. But he will get to pick and choose from a versatile rotation in order to put whoever has it going that particular night on the court. This is the deepest depth that nobody knows about. I love these Rockets.

agree about magette though ... And Monta Ellis just wonīt be the solution going forward. Yeah, he can play. But he canīt shoot the 3 and isnīt a good playmaker which combined just isnīt exactly screaming "franchise player" for a 6ī3 Guard.
