Ron, a playmaker?

Interesting...
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Wafer is just like a sudden attack thing. Once other team start playing defense on him. I doubt he can do it again.

We should be able to blow anybody out of the water even without Tracy. We don't need him with the way Von Wafer been playing.. Just need to bring his role back up with confidence and he can more than fill the void. Tracy is just too injured and too slow with Von Wafter, Ron, Battier, Barry on the Swing we still should be way more than just an average contender.


Some of you have a lot to learn about the NBA and just basketball in general. You clearly have no idea that you are talking about the Rockets.

Ron Artest is not a playmaker. In fact his best offense has become being an outlet, stand still 3 point shooter. Mike Miller could do that. Battier's defensive inefficiency is a direct result of his injury...something I am sure won't heal until the offseason. Brent Barry hasn't been a 'sharpshooter' since he came here. Shots he use to make in SA he doesn't make in Houston. Sounds like a another Barry we know.

And Von Wafer...well read what Max said. Teams have figured him out. The best we can hope for is that he begin making that 3 again so Yao can have another outlet from the post. This team has way to many issues that you seem to just throw out of the window on just blind faith. I hope this team turns it around...but realistically speaking....we'll probably make the playoffs and go out in the first round again. How is that 'better'?
