Where are the basketball fans?

True and unfortunately, true.

But, if T-Mac comes back healthy, and that one in a million chance that Yao can come back this year happens, we could sneak into the playoffs.

I hate having to start every baseketball season with the caveat "if x is healthy."

Yao wont come back, no chance. When is T Mac due back? He will have to come back as the T Mac of a few years for the Rockets to be any chance but his return maybe too late.

With Alderman as coach Brooks, Ariza, Scola you know the Rockets will play hard every night so they will still be a tough game.

Will be cheering for them a bit. Hoping my fellow Aussie David Andersen has a good season for Houston. About time he went to the NBA.

Well, at least someone is rooting with me.

Adelman needs to just go small and hope for the best. We won't be able to stop anyone down low, but out perimeter defense will be outstanding. Scola is a creative scorer.

We'll compete, but there will be a lot of nights that we see fourth quarter leads evaporate.

Dejuan Blair...

Yes. He has been very impressive in the pre season and would be a huge upgrade over Matt Bonner aka Brian Scalabrine aka "I should be on the bench playing 15 minutes max per game."

 

[Hip2bsquare]

Will be a Rocket Man this season for sure.

Love me some Scola. Ando will be able to score but not sure he will offer much else sadly. Good to see a few aussies in the League now with Bogut, Andersen playing signifcant minutes. Hopefully Jawai gets runat the Wolves and Mills sees some time at the Blazers.

But I'm actually a bigger Hawks fan! Sleeper team of 2010 baby!
