Southwest Division Preview: Houston Rockets

Found October 17, 2006 on Project Spurs:
PLAYERS: Yao Ming,  Shane Battier,  Bonzi Wells,  Tracy McGrady
TEAMS: Houston Rockets,  Sacramento Kings

Can you hear the squeaking of shoes across the floor? The cheer of the crowd? That's right, it's a new NBA season and we are here to give you the Southwest Division preview. Up first is Houston. It's real simple, if they stay healthy they will be a force in the divsion. T-Mac says his back has healed and Yao's toe is reported to be fine. These two guys only played 31 games together. Imagine a whole season of these two players at full strength? SCARY!

  • I honestly don't think that the Rockets will be a force in the West this year. After all, Yao Ming is just an overrated center, and despite an outstanding season from T-Mac, I don't see them making it past the first round of the playoffs. The West is just too strong, with Dallas, San Antonio, and Phoenix leading the way. Not to mention, the Los Angeles Clippers.

Southwest Division Preview: Memphis Grizzlies

Via Project Spurs  |  October 18, 2006
Pau Gasol is out for the beginning months of the season due to a broken foot suffered during the FIBA World Championships. Even more, Shane Battier was traded to the Rockets and Lorenzen Wright to Atlanta. This means the Grizz will take steps back especially on the defensive end.
