Question

Now that artest has joined the rockets officially what do you think about the rockets roster? now they have barry, battier, tmac, yao, francis, artest, landry(a strong force but dont know if hes signed) and scola...

Answer 1

no competition with that dude with the extremely long answer but here is my opinion: rockets always had talent but the injuries really hurt them. if the starters can stay healthy during the season in time for the  playoffs, then we have a really good chance for a ring

Answer 2

...awesome

Answer 3

I think they are serious championship contenders. Ron Artest will be on his best behavior cause he knows that he has a real shot a getting a ring. They could still use a better power forward, but Scola will have to do for now. As long as T-Mac, Yao, and Artest are healthy come playoff time, they will advance past the first round, and have a very good shot of winning it all

Answer 4

there defence is nice!!
