Answer 1

Dont listen to the first answer. We beat the Lakers last season without Ron Artest and without Yao Ming. But yeah if everybody stays healthy then they will be playin the Celtics for the title next year.

Answer 2

t mac is a curse

so no

Answer 3

Don't Be Surprised If They Win It All Everyone Of Them Is Thirsty For A Ring TMacs Got A Chip on his Shoulder His Whole career, Ron Now Has A Good Chance To Prove His Worth And   Yao Has The Whole China Depending on him

Answer 4

With the addition of Ron Artest, the Rockets become title contenders.   They have arguably a top 3 center in the league in Yao, a superstar in T-Mac, and now IMO the best defensive player in the league Ron Artest.  I mean the guy can defend all 5 positions,   he is terribly underrated as a player.

Yao/Mutombo

Scola/Dorsey

Artest/Battier

T-Mac/Head

Alston/whoever

That lineup has more talent than any other team in the West except the lakers.  

I'm not even a Rockets fan btw.    But I'm a basketball fan and I can tell you if everyone stays healthy, the LEAST the Rockets will do is go to the WCF.

Answer 5

Im not sure they could make it to the finals, but he could definatley give them the talent they need to get out of the first round.

Answer 6

Artest is a great player, but be warned. He will prove to be a cancer for your team.

Answer 7

Ron Artest is like drugs.It may be great at first,but if you get addicted to it,you're in trouble.

Answer 8

yes probably. since the only west team who have the ability to stop Gasol/Bryant tandem is Yao/McGrady tandem.

they can also match the all star caliber team of NOH.

Chandler-Yao

West-Scola

Stojakovic-Artest

Wells-McGrady

Paul-Alston

so they can really do well in the west. just hope that no serious injuries would strike their BIG 3.

Answer 9

being a pistons fan i hate ron artest. but i would say he definetely will if they are 6th seed or better ron artest is just what they needed (defence)

Answer 10

NOW THEY HAVE A PUNCHERS CHANCE!

Answer 11

Heck yes. As long as Yao Ming and T-mac stay healthy ron Artest can do great things for this team. He averaged 20 pts, 5 rbs, 3 ast. you can't forget his great defensive prowess as well. He is one of the best defenders in the nba helping out a strong defensive houston rockets team. The lakers and hornets should be very afraid.
