And what do you call making a poll like this? How can anything be determined? Your team has a recent history of choking away the first round...repeatedly...and there is still a lot of questions despite what Artest brings. The two biggest will be chemistry and his volatile personality. Until we get well into the season there is no way anyone can say the Rockets are the better team.

Well I don't agree with you on this topic. Still to early to tell. houston looks really good on paper, but that is the case all the time. You have to worry about Mcgrady's back, and yao seems to get injured quite often.

Okay look in the mirror at spurs, age, injuries, lack of depth coming off that bench. How this spurs team thats suppose to be so great, lose in 5 to lakers who celtics stomped. I guess timmy and tp and old ass finley going to carry spurs to the top of the west while manu nurse his ankle that hasnt improved since the nba season ended.

Maybe you need to do the same before you start declaring the Rockets the best anywhere. When have Tracy and Yao managed to stay healthy for a whole season? Hell...its been since 2004 that Yao has managed more than 57 games. Isn't he supposed to be in his prime at 27 and not injury plagued?

If you haven't realized, this is SpursTalk. Out of the three Texas team boards, SpursTalk has the most fans from other teams as members. Check out the BASKETBALL discussion sometime. You're an idiot for posting this poll in this section of all places. What'd you honestly expect? The Rockets to win? Posting all of these photos (especially the western one) doesn't help (although i do like the first Artest one).

OK smart guy lets look at Rockets track record, with all the so called injuries and bad backs and yao not even playing the entire season it amazes me how they continue to manage 50 WIN seasons. What that says about the league? a man playing with a bunch of rookies a old ass center with a bad back can get you 55 wins in a competitive west. :wow

The reason we lost to the lakers was becasue they were tired and injured. Playing long post season does that to you. It eventually catches up with a team. However I think most fans knows that the Spurs will definitly contend for another championship this year. they have the experience to go all the way because they have before. The rockets are the ones who haven't proved anything. Until they actually do something its going to be hard to find someone who believes in them other than a rockets fan.

Of the people on this board who respect the Spurs, probably only half are Spurs fans. The other half are knowledgeable fans of other teams who really know basketball. I have nothing but contempt for "Spurs fans" who jump off the wagon in July, and I'll be waiting with a big kick in the teeth when they try to jump back on...and they will.

[wisnub]

I am obviously a Spurs fan..but I honestly say "in paper" Rockets looks really good. Artest will increase defending ability along with Battier, and Scola looks really sharp in Olympics which is a bad sign. Only thing I can hope is Artest start another drama and messed up team chemistry. As the other team in Texas triangle I dont think it will be a big problem for us. Mavs is a loser, they got knocked out two times in 1st round, including biggest upset in NBA history. If Rockets chemistry is good, then West will get more tougher than it already is...

[screw_ston713]

lol whats up with the name calling??? people can never debate or post without name calling. Rockets spoiled Lakers home opener last year with a battier dagger 3 and also made history on lakers by winning our 22nd in a row on. Like shaq said "kobe tell me how my ass taste" lol

Really? What evidence you have to support the theory that they won't be hurt again? I don't have to pray about anything...history speaks loud and clear that the percentages weigh much heavier towards Yao or TBack or both getting hurt at some point during the season.

Honestly, I do hope we meet full strength in the playoffs...but that is a long way away and just like us you have many obstacles to overcome. The fact is that you have thrown your chips in on a player that has been a problem on every team he has played on. They were talking championship in Indiana too...then there was the brawl...which he still thinks he was justified in doing. The fact is that Yao is supposed to be in his prime, but has been unable to get within 25 games of finishing a season in the past 3 years.

These are facts...I'm not making them up...and you can use the word "insecure" all you want to describe me or any other Spurs fan. But if you think for one minute that you don't have just as many worries or possibly even more than we do, then there is only one word to describe you....denial.

[screw_ston713]

Injuries are overrated. I clearly remember odom having nagging injuries i also remember gasol being injured while being traded to lakers. I also remember pierces nagging injuries that cost him to miss significant time last yr, also allen had to have surgery. SO WHAT!!!! those teams still made it to the finals.

[IronMexican]

if injuries are overrated, why do you guys always get eliminated in the first round then?

[screw_ston713]

Yalls argument is rockets will eventually get injured, well spurs dont have to wait till the season starts. Manu will begin the season injured missing almost 2 months of the regular season. Currently rockets are healthy, Yao had his foot surgically repaired and tracy had surgery on his knee. Rockets can limit the starter mins to help prevent injuries, spurs dont have that luxary.

[screw_ston713]

Its called being overmatched!!!!In the regular season rockets role players are playing at their max, in the playoffs you must be able to kick it in to another gear. Rockets had no extra gear. While teams were playing on that other level rockets were playing their best basketball during the reg season.

[screw_ston713]

Lets not act like Rockets just laid down. Rockets without Yao and without rafer they were in every game with jazz, they made it a tough series for jazz. If anything jazz should of swept us. Rockets went into a hostle environment in utah and got a game to extend the series to 6.

[kingmalaki]

Well I don't agree with you on this topic. Still to early to tell. houston looks really good on paper, but that is the case all the time. You have to worry about Mcgrady's back, and yao seems to get injured quite often.

The Rockets have never looked this good on paper, at least not in the Yao/T-Mac era. None of those past teams had a 3rd option, and half didn't have a bench.

And that's not to say Houston is the favorite, but to say they look good on paper similar to past years is not a valid comparison really.

Yao sucks it's simple...Guys that are much smaller then him are dunking like shit over him haha..

How high is the goal???? Isnt all goals 10ft what does yao being 7'6 have to do with getting getting dunked on? Most nba players can dunk if u raised the goal to 11ft, what do you prefer yao do, push the player out of mid air so he dosnt get dunked on? Duncan is also a 7'0 fter I guess he sucks too cuz smaller guys dunked on him also. Its the nba

[Sissiborgo]

I know but he should be blocking those but i am not saying he dosent..

[screw_ston713]

You know as a Rocket fan Ive never been worried about the Spurs. Rockets always played slow teams close. Rockets had matchup problems with quicker teams like phx, and mavs who always pushed the ball up the floor looking to score before the defense set. Spurs and Rockets played a simular style of basketball, halfcourt defensive grind it out kinda basketball.

The fact is that Yao is supposed to be in his prime, but has been unable to get within 25 games of finishing a season in the past 3 years.

These are facts...I'm not making them up...and you can use the word "insecure" all you want to describe me or any other Spurs fan. But if you think for one minute that you don't have just as many worries or possibly even more than we do, then there is only one word to describe you....denial.

Fair enough, but I get tired of everyone wishing and taking pleasure in the rockets getting hurt. Having the rox win a championship will be extra-sweet as these tools who wish for players to get hurt can all go fuck themselves. Not saying you are included in that list.

[Roxsfan]

How high is the goal???? Isnt all goals 10ft what does yao being 7'6 have to do with getting getting dunked on? Most nba players can dunk if u raised the goal to 11ft, what do you prefer yao do, push the player out of mid air so he dosnt get dunked on? Duncan is also a 7'0 fter I guess he sucks too cuz smaller guys dunked on him also. Its the nba

No shit, I can guarantee you Yao and Tim D. could push a little bitch right out of the air while they're dunking--but that would be dirty.

[The Franchise]

even with yao and tmac the team has looked good on paper.

:wtf

[screw_ston713]

yIwquxvdPFc Rockets vs Spurs last year. Spurs didnt own us it was a very close game like all matchups between the two clubs.

[spursfan09]

You know as a Rocket fan Ive never been worried about the Spurs. Rockets always played slow teams close. Rockets had matchup problems with quicker teams like phx, and mavs who always pushed the ball up the floor looking to score before the defense set. Spurs and Rockets played a simular style of basketball, halfcourt defensive grind it out kinda basketball.

:lol you have never been worried about the spurs? Thats because they haven't even met in any meaningful playoff games to give you a reason to worry. And you say Rockets have had trouble agaisnt teams like the Suns, well you do realize that the Spurs have never lost a playoff series against them since 03 right? So maybe you see the Spurs and Rockets as the same, but the Spurs have been known to adjust to teams and beat them at thier own game. They had many gears to switch into.

[spursfan09]

:wtf

they have looked good on paper, just not on xrays. They have won 50 or more games for many seasons, but too bad they have not done damage in the playoffs.

[Tmac&Luther]

Yao sucks it's simple...Guys that are much smaller then him are dunking like shit over him haha..

Spurs are on the decline, but will still do better in the end.

It is just not injuries, its the fact they have not been able to get out of the first round for how many years now? Spurs have had players sit out with injuries, and they still won the championship.

Its more than health, when rockets played mavs both Yao and Tracy played and had good games also our first matchup with jazz both Yao and Tracy played and had a good series. Anyone with any basketball knowledge knows 2 players can not win alone. The reason our stars are always injured because they are the rockets. The role players didnt add anything in the playoffs.

it means your showing improvement.

LA came up short 4 times in a row in the western semi's, but they finally did it in 2000. Houston has showed me nothing for too many years to count.

[screw_ston713]

Do phx fans feel better cause they got all the way to the conf finals, or does mav fans feel good because they got to the finals and choked. How about jazz they been advancing since the stockton and malone days and they have nothing to show for it. When its your time it will happen.

So did mavs and phx improve?? seeing they were eliminated in the first round and the worst part is it was in 5 games. The Nba is unpredictable anything can happen but unless you win the :lobt2: you had a failed season end of story

[screw_ston713]

As a Rocket fan i would feel worse losing in the finals then losing in the 1st round. To be that close of the trophy you can touch it and watch your team just crumble would hurt.

not really. We were predicted to be #7 seed at best to #1 in the west is what i call a success in it self.

[BUMP]

so if NYK gets all the way to the Finals next year and loses in OT in game 7 it was a failed season?

[screw_ston713]

That comment comes across as trying to rationalize a relative lack of recent success. No1 remembers who played in the 1st round and who played in the 2nd round and who made it to the conf finals. The only thing people will remember from last year is Boston Celtics winning the :lobt2:. Its good for nice smack but unless you come away with the :lobt2: you had a failed season.

[screw_ston713]

So how close are the jazz to winning the championship??? if we could tell who was close to winning a ring by a team advancing pass the 1st round, how close is the suns, and mavs. Just a few seasons ago these teams were suppose to be on the brink of a championship now they are 1 and done.

[underdawg]

So, by that rationale the hornets' season was a failure? I think you would have a lot of people/sports writers that would argue with that. But if we agree with you on your logic, we would have to declare that teams that lose in the 1st round are bigger failures than those that lost in the conference finals or the finals.

[screw_ston713]

Whats the point of advancing to only be eliminated in the 2nd round, is that some sort of achievement. You dont get rings for advancing to the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Only thing you gain from advancing pass the 1st round is winning a smack off in some forum.

Werent Mavs and Phx considered the elite in the west only a year ago??? In one year they went from being 2 of the top teams in the west to being at the bottom of the west.

[GuerillaBlack]

why hasnt this thread just been left to die yet? don't respond.

Mavs get all the way to the finals and experts predicted they were going to win the title the following year. Little did they know there was going to be a 8th seeded team going to derail those plans after they had a 60 win year.

It would be nice to get pass the first round, but theres no satisfaction in merly getting pass the 1st round.

It's not about smack - it's about how close you did get. Think of it in terms of the NCAA tournament. Why do teams that make it to the Elite 8 and the Final Four get recognition the following year for their success? I understand they didn't win the championship, but they made it a lot further than the a lot of other teams. Rationalize the rockettes continued failure all you want and try to lump other teams that didn't win the title along with them. The truth of the matter is the coaches know it, the players know it (ask Tracy) and most logical rockettes fans know it.

[screw_ston713]

As a fan im not into all the hype about getting out the 1st round, if we dont win the ship its a failed season. I dont settle for 2nd and 3rd best. Alot of rocket fans are satisfied with the rockets only being a team that competes. I wouldnt feel no better if rockets were being eliminated every year in the 2nd round. Pistons get eliminated every year in the conference finals i guess thats an achievement to some and deserves an award or some kind of recognition.

[screw_ston713]

Ask stockton, malone, the human highlight reel, calvin murphy, patrick ewing, reggie miller, charles barkley now that their careers are over are they satisfied with only coming close to winning a championship???

That's where I disagree. Not winning the championship is a failure in itself, but being in the conference finals or the finals is not the same as losing in the first round. The further you get in the playoffs, the closer you are to winning the ring and for some teams it's a stair step process. The Pistons won a championship not too long ago if I remember correctly - they might win one again next year. Part of the Spurs continued success is that they've proven that they can advance and be competitive each year - that experience is invaluable. Look at the Mavs (except 2006) and the Suns - they have yet to show they have the ability to get over the hump. Now both of those teams have changed dramatically and they might not ever be in that position again.

[screw_ston713]

At the begining of every year every teams goal is winning the championship. I never heard a team say our goal is making it to the 2nd round or our goal is to make it to the conf finals. If you set a goal for yourself and you fail to reach that goal what is that???? Me personally its a failed year.

Health and role player talent/3rd scoring have been issues since yao and tmac experiment started. Now, with recent additions, health is the key.

Deep breaths man...now have a Xanax before you post again.

It was just a response. Your boy screwston was posting pics of Manu injured and I just responded with pics TMac and Yao hurt. I don't wish injury on anyone. I have only come at him the way I have because he is being an annoying failure. I have a lot of family from Houston. I am a Texans and Astros fan...and to be real honest with you the only other team I would actively cheer for to win it all besides the Spurs would be Houston. So save your preconceived notions about what my wishes are.

As I said before...anyone that looks at the situation with any kind of objectivity can see both teams have their work cut out for them if they want to be hoisting the trophy at the end of the season. We are a long way from declaring one better than the other.

If spurs fans actually feel they are the best team in texas why all the bitching and gripeing and questioning of every f.o move. Whats with all the trade manu and fire pop threads if spurs truely feel they're still the best team in texas?

because best team in Texas isn't good enough.

Every year in August/September the Rockets are the best team, not just in Texas, or the league, but pretty much of all time.
