Rockets

Watching bits and pieces of the Rockets opener against Indiana tonight, and I have a lot of trouble seeing why so many people think this is going to be a playoff team.

The motion offense that Rudy T promised going into the season is the same old 4-guys-standing on the perimeter and watching Cuttino or Steve cut to the basket.

Yao Ming is SLOW with his feet. Fast big men are going to scoot right past him all year.

And overall, there's just not a lot of talent when you get past Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley.

Hard to see the playoffs for this team unless the West is just awful this year.

But what do I know? I'm not even a basketball fan really -- just watching the home guys a little out of curiosity tonight.
