We're more talented now, but last years team was better defensively, and played with more heart.

This year's key is Landry.
We definitely need him in the playoff.
Come off from the bench, leads our 2nd unit.
But once he returns.. is he ready for the playoff games?
He will kills us or bring us to the 2nd round.

Re: Is this rockets team better than last year's?
this rockets teams is the best team asselmbled since hakeem was on the team. the bench is a lot better and the starting lineup, more offense w/ ron and more defense from shane which should do a killing in the playoffs. but no tmac makes this quite impossible
. especially if yao ming is gonna shoot the basketball 7 or 8 times in a full game when we obviously need him to shoot it at least 15 times.
of corse with tmac we dont have that problem but we have the problem of how bad will the miss be? can we get the offensive rebound? can our players get back on defense fast enough? how many points will we have to give away? is yao ming gonna foul out trying to catch up with the fast break? what about our future draft picks? are they protected? can we get a good lottery pick? and so on . . .

Case settled. They are just so offensively innept. Tmac controlled the tempo of the game, one of the smartest players ever to play for us. Artest is teh exact opposite. 55 wins last year, 2nd most ever i think. And we pushed the jazz to 6 without rafer, with him we were 2-1

no comment till the playoffs.
As of right now, we are the same.
if we lose in the 1st round, than the answer is "this team sucks as bad as last years", if we get past the 2nd round "we are slightly better and lucky"
