Rockets expectations?

Question

where do they rank in the west now? how will artest blend with tmac and yao? is artest, years removed from the "palace incident", mature enough to help?

here's the big question. do they finally make it out of the first round of the playoffs?

Answer 1

they definetely will make it through the first round

Answer 2

I rank them in the top 5 in the West, because if you know the West you know how tough it is. The Rockets will definitely surpass the first round. With T- Mac, Yao, and Artest, their looking pretty good, with depth.

Answer 3

uhhh..

I think they can reach the western conferrence finals or even win it..

But that still remains to be seen if they are healthy

Answer 4

Now T-mac can taste a series win......And they become a totally playoffs contender...

The whole career of T-mac he haven't won or pass the first round of the Playoffs but now with Artest, he will not carry the scoring load by himself. If Yao keeps healthy all the way.... Yao is inconsistent when health is talked about.

Answer 5

I'm thinking they'll be competitive..

West: (In my opinion of course...)

UTA

LA

NO

HOU

PHX

SA

DAL

POR

:]

I think they have the talent to make it out of the 1st round..

Answer 6

2nd in Western Conference after Lakers

Answer 7

If they stay healthy I see no reason why they couldn't win the west.
