Well, its that time again, the NBA Season is upon us, and the Rockets are poised to make a run at the title, there armed and ready to roll. Here's the Training Camp Roster: 11 C Yao Ming 15 C/PF Joey Dorsey 55 C Dikembe Mutombo 14 PF Carl Landry 4 PF Luis Scola 44 PF Chucky Hayes 96 SF Ron Artest 31 SF Shane Battier 19 SF Mike Harris 1 SG Tracy McGrady 17 SG Brent Barry 2 SG Luther Head 12 PG Rafer Alston 0 PG Aaron Brooks 3 PG Steve Francis --- PG D.J. Strawberry and then theres some guys Named Marcus Campbell and Von Wafer, they round out the roster anyway, the only thing worrying me is 1.) Health and 2.) Backup PG spot, is Brooks ready or will Francis hold up.

Tough one. McGrady missed his last 5 shots and air-balled the tying 3 with seconds to go. I'd let him get his legs back before I freaked out.

it's been over 2 years since he had his legs for any stretch. I don't think they're coming back. I did like how Rafer called out the team though. Although Adelman has seemingly done a great job still winning with all the injuries, I don't see much difference between his and JVGs offense. But JVG at least had the D consistently tough.

Of course they'll make the playoffs, they always make the POs. If they can ever stay healthy for more than a week and set a starting 5 I'm still hopeful they can also win a PO series. But that is a big if.
