I don't know what you rest of guys think, but IMO the Rockets are now in some intermediate state between the little excessive optimism of rocketeer and the "everything sucks" point of view of catandkennysuck. To me, things look pretty well, especially considering what we come from last year; 13-10 is a pretty good record, and even though the last 3 games have proven again this team is still inconsistent, they can do good things (we already beat Spurs, Sixers and Kings) and probably will become even better in the future?
Will we make the playoffs? I think so, unless things change radically we have enough quality to be there, I'd say between 5th and 8th. Will we go any further? well, I'd love to, but a realistic analisys says, to me, that we can't still compete againts teams like Mavs, Spurs or Lakers (in playoff mode) in a playoff series.
Sure we have things I don't like, and I'd say catandkennysuck got a point in some of the things he says, for example a 6'7" PF who can't neither pass the ball nor shoot isn't a good thing, or that the supposed to be the star PF, aka Mo Taylor looks more like the Horace Grant type right now than a serious NBA player. But not everything is that bad my friend, for instance Ming is playing waaaaay better than 90% of people would have thought, remember that only few weeks ago still lots of people wondered if Ming would ever become a good player and if picking him had been a good decision. Defense. In spite of the last 3 games, Rox have showed they can finally play defense, and that's a basic point to become a contender. And finally, like somebody said, age; the team is about 24-25 years average, it's a future team. Let's give them some credit, expressing our opinions on what we think it's wrong or should be made differently, but having hope on this team, for I believe the Rockets will be big again soon.
