    You got Artest and are waiting for Battier to come back to start playing D?
    I think the Rockets are playoff fodder if they keep allowing 100+ ppg.

    Yea thats the ting about artest, i noticed it too. He is an A grade defender but he also gambles.

    If you watched all the game i did you would understand, there is something about Battier, he carries this team defensively, as a 6th man he would do wonders.
    Adelman is just not a defensive coach. Scola is still getting silly fouls. And you don't have much size past Yao and him. I think the Rockets are loaded talent-wise, but they have a ton of work to do defensively. The Grizzlies gave them problems last night. Obviously, it's early. They have all year to work on that. But they have to. You can't win in the playoffs giving up so many points.

    Artest and the Rockets looked good. Their depth is going to give teams fits. TMac was nothing more than a cheerleader down the stretch and they owned the Mavs anyway. If the Rockets are healthy going into the playoffs and they stay healthy throughout they will be your '08-'09 NBA Champions.

    exactly, they were 2nd last yr in defense b.c of Battier and Deke, once they bring them back there will be a balance

    random thought. the rockets have to have the ugliest unis in the nba.
    I love them. Mavs uniforms are generic looking.

    Nothing surprising about tonight's game. The Rockets are not a great team by any means, but by this point no one should expect Dallas to win more than 44 games this year.

    Nobody expected them to lose to the blazers or clippers.

    Like i said, solid defensive teams.



    The lakers don't match up good with the rockets.
    no body expected the lakers to win by 20 and 30 points either.....sure they have artest and battier to throw at kobe but yao is soft and bynum is long enough to bother him on defense. the lakers can counter with kobe and ariza on tmac and artest as well. pau > scola and fisher > skip to my lou. whos gonna match up with lamar? sasha off the bench? brooks looks good but farmar has the edge at this stage in their careers.

    if u play tmac artest and battier, whos gonna guard pau? i think its the rockets who cant match up with the lakers

    No.

    Give me a healthy Spurs team over the Rockets any day of the week. And there is no way this team beats the Lakers in a seven game series.
    I love my Spurs...and I am not saying we can't beat them..but with all the match up problems we would have with them it would be an extremely tall order. They very big, athletic team that has three legit all-star caliber players.

    The Lakers would have similar problems. Gasol is soft big man who would likely be bullied by Landry and Scola. With all those hard-nosed forwards they have I would even go as far as to say that Gasol would almost be useless in a series against the Rockets. This would leave Bynum and Odom to help Kobe shoulder the load...and Kobe would have his own issues because Artest would be hounding him the whole series. I don't see why Laker fans aren't more worried.

    The Rockets are only going to get better. Tracy got virtually no playing time with the rest of the group during the preseason and Battier still hasn't even practiced. The offense will eventually gel and we will develop chemistry that comes with repe ion. As of right now, the Lakers are still head and shoulders the best team but I think we will come around and push them for that top spot.

    pau is soft but scola and landry are way too short. pau tall but what helps is that he is long. plus hes got a much better finese game and a jumper than most 4's in the game.

    talk about soft, yao is as soft as they come. bynums length will give him fits.

    boozer couldnt handle paus length but garnet did because he is also tall and long

    Before tipoff, Mavs swingman Jerry Stackhouse addressed the crowd, saying, “It’s gonna be fun, it’s gonna be fast. Put on your seat belts. Let’s do it!” Then Dallas opened the Carlisle era with a 24-second violation
    Awesome.

    Good game by the Rockets.....I think the Mavs need a little better 2nd unit....maybe replace Stackhouse with Gerald Green.....

    Not much to read into an early win, but the Rockets are going to be nasty.

    the grizz only scored 70 points.

    they played a team trying to push the tempo so of course the score is going to be high. the same a lot of times when we played phoenix. we would give up a lot of points but still win because we can get stops in the 4th. the rockets locked down the mavs in the 4th. they are definitely scary even though their offense has a long way to go.

    Rockets needed a Jordanesque game from Brooks and a Larry Bird lilke shooting performance from Artest in order to beat the mavs. Having said that I hope a ceiling fan falls on Ron Artest while he sleeps.
    STFU, thats not Brooks-air jordan-thats just the game slowing way down for a fast as sop re and you will see more of that consistently.....

    Artest and larry bird--what are you smoking--u will see more of that from artest.

    face it the mavs are has-beens
