Rockets really look good this year.. Scola is really developing.. a dangerous team..

BDavis is questionable at times, but i still think he's better than Ellis..

2SwiFt29 · 08-29-2008, 04:18 PM

another team to watch i'd say are the Blazers.. young and dangerous with many weapons.. and Oden is back..

2SwiFt29 · 08-29-2008, 04:19 PM

damn this year's western conference will be another battle from 1-8.. eastern still looks the same i'd say..

jumpingjz · 08-29-2008, 04:20 PM

i am more afraid of the rockets, battier, tmac and ron, that's a hell of a defensive team...

2SwiFt29 · 08-29-2008, 04:20 PM

that's what they need.. but then again defense has always did them well.. just their offense was always struggling.. Artest can help with the offense and defense..

2SwiFt29 · 08-29-2008, 04:22 PM

they've always played well on defense.. just offense struggles especially with the loss of Yao and McGrady at times.. hopefully they can finally stay healthy throughout the playoffs and actually play their first games together in the playoffs..

baron was an emotional leader, which the team needed, but I agree. Many of his attempts appeared out of dispair, which I personally do not like in a point gaurd, let alone, a team leader

jumpingjz · 08-29-2008, 04:23 PM

if only the lakers made a serious run at artest, but i am always reluctant to give up someone as talented as Odom...

in many way's I'd rather have have BD as well

I feel that Ellis can't excel without a leader by his side. Then again, he's young

2SwiFt29 · 08-29-2008, 04:24 PM

that's true.. it would've been tough giving Odom away, but i think i would've preferred Artest more.. better suited at SF and plays great defense.. Odom is not a true SF and may at times come off the bench for Pau if Odom doesn't start well at SF

that's true.. he showed signs of maturing when Baron had his off days.. he just has to be more confident and show consistency.. i guess we'll just have to wait 1-2 more months for his return since he's scheduled for 3 months and luckily the season doesn't start yet..

Artest has normally been a cancer to every team he joins. But the Rockets have a humble attitude and hopefully, it can rub off. Then again, the Kings carried a humble attitude

lol.. that's why Adelman is there.. he'll definitely help with Artest's behavior since they've had a relationship when Adelman was still in Sacramento..

Wild West vs Boston

eastern conference will be boring as usual, but the teams looking good are the Cavs, 76ers, Magics, and the young and talented Hawks.. Pistons will be top 4 also, but they're boring and they don't have much change to their team...
