    My bad if this was already posted...

    Damn. Hopefully Artest gets into an offensive groove and Yao starts putting up his usually offensive numbers (22-25 ppg).

    **Maybe SF3 can have a shot as a 3rd string point guard thanks to the open roster spot**

    yeah I just read this on the chronicle..............I wouldn't be surprised if he shuts it down for the rest of the season. I've been saying it for a while, but those knees have caught up with that weak ass heart of his. At least he used to be athletic, but now he totally looks like a shell of his former self.......He's looks lethargic 90% of the time now, his defense has been poor, and he gets NO lift on his jumper....combine that with the fact that he's always been a pathetic loser and you have a recipe for disaster..........As much as it pains me to say this...................................I see another 1st round exit.


    I love Ron Ron and trust in his toughness, but unless Brooks or Landry becomes a 18 ppg player, then I don't see us making it out of the 1st round.....................................god damn I hate saying that.....



    2010 PLEASE GET HERE SOON!!!!!

    I swear to god...we should just let him play with crutches. Man if we had kept Gay this wouldn't really be an issue, but we got Shane out of it so I'm not too bitter about it.

    yeah as the years pass, the decision to trade Gay away looks dumber and dumber............I don't think God likes Houston sports fans..............what did we do to deserve such punishment??????

    It's good that he is taking 3 weeks to rest now. He'll come back stronger by the time that we need him. Hopefully, we don't drop too many games. Every team other than the Lakers has atleast 6-7 losses. If we stay at the top of our division, we'll be in the safe zone. Hopefully, T-Mac comes back stronger. Yao and Ron take over. Battier comes back healthy! LETS GO ROCKETS!

    yikes...
    we can still do ok without mcgrady. we just need scola to play like he used to. i don't get to watch rockets games here but judging by the box score he's doing terrible again today (vs clippers). at this rate, landry should get all of his minutes.

    Rafer has stepped up lately, but still I cannot imagine what we could've gotten for Tracy over the summer, cause now he isn't worth much of anything being this injury prone. I mean we could try to get Gerald Wallace, but what would that really give us? He isn't that consistent on the scoring end, and our team can already play D.

    Well said. I know this is a long shot, but if T-mac can recover or at least gain 80% of what he used to be after the 3-week period, I think we'll be good to go. I trust in Yao, Ron and the rest of the team to keep us leading the division till the big three is healthy. Let's go Rockets! I'm still not swayed, this is our time!

    Yeah, I don't wanna get rid of Tmac as of now because there aren't too many good players that we can trade for out there. We just need to wait till he comes back HEALTHY and I know he understands that he can't miss too many games. If he feels that he needs to rest now, then thats fine, we won't do too bad. I just wanted to see the big 4 play all together.

    these 3 weeks tmac is out arent hard. december is our 2nd easiest month this season and our team is more than capable of handling teams w/ 2 of our big 3. looks like yao and ron are finallly startin to play like they should, and thank god. golden state is all offense.

    in january this team'll start doin wonders, and im hopeful for a complete new version of tmac after these 3 weeks. its hard that we have to wait for his slow ass to start tearing the league up, but o well, its all about the team. and tmac.
