Rockets starting 5 for 08-09 season?

Question

If the rockets had their starting lineups like this for the upcoming season how well do you think theyre gonna play?

PG- Rafer Alston

SG- Steve Francis

SF- Tracy McGrady

PF- Ron Artest

C - Yao Ming

Tell me what you think

Answer 1

i think they will be really good

theyll get fourth seed after lakers, hornets, and jazz

and then make it into the second round but then lose

Answer 2

Not a bad line up but I would want someone with a little intelligence rather than Artest if I had this lineup.

To Maddness - 48-24 is only 72 games.  They play 82 game regular season schedules.

Answer 3

not as good...I think they should go

PG - Alston

SG - McGrady

SF - Artest

PF - Scola

C - Yao

Answer 4

scary if healthy

Answer 5

They team would be good but i wont be like dat

Alston

McGrady

Artest/Battier

Scola

Yao

Answer 6

48-34 in reg season

eliminated in 1st rd 4-2

Answer 7

PG - Rafer Alston / Steve Francis / Aaron Brooks

SG - Tracy Mcgrady / Brent Barry

SF - Ron Artest / Shane Battier

PF - Luis Scola / Carl Landry / Joey Dorsey

C - Yao Ming / Dikembe Mutombo / Joey Dorsey

If Yao, Tmac, and Artest is healthy throughout the whole season and postseason, I'd expect no less than a 60-22, and no less than a Western Conference Finals.

Answer 8

i think they will play really well. maybe 3rd or 4th in the west.

Answer 9

that lineup seems a little iffy

i think adelman will be thinking about the all around lineup more than ever with Artest coming in.

my lineup is gonna be

PG-Tmac

SG-Shane Battier

SF-Ron Ron

PF-Luis Scola

C- Yao Ming

cuz this lineup not only gives rockets height advantage, but also helps the defense, and Tmac can be the playmaker he always wanted and also scoring at times if he wants to.

Shane is practically a shooting guard cuz he guards the likes of Kobe, Dwayne Wade, and Ron can basically help out any other guy that can also score.

so i think this would be an okay lineup.

Another thought would be if Steve Francis can get back to where he use to be when he was with the rockets, he could start at PG and move Tmac to SG and Shane off the bench, which would be good as well since Shane can just switch up with Ron Ron and guarding the same superstar of the opposing team.

I would say if they are healthy, WCF is not a dream at all!
