Well, Rockets have to step it up one more notch on Sunday
Future HOF - IMHO, of course - Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming. Granted I don't particularly like McGrady but I suspect he'll make it to the hall eventually. Yao is pretty much a lock, against IMO.
IMO, I don't think McGrady gets in. He's a good player that just seems to be hurt way too often. I guess if he comes back and has some huge years my opinion might change.
I think that Yao has a better chance at getting in than McGrady, but again, it will depend on Yao's future health. I don't think he's done nearly enough yet to warant HOF talk.
Oh, believe me. I wouldn't shed a tear if he never got in.
I think he'll get in partially because of the international impact - first Chinese player to actually compete and succeed in the NBA, etc.
I havent been this proud of the Rockets since the championships in the 90s.
Man I feel good right now.![]()
NBA will take care of game 7. Early foul trouble for the Rockets few "big man" they have left. la wins comfortably. Not sure yet how they will rob Nuggets in the WCF but they just have to because Billups vs Fisher will be a genocide (I clearly lack a better word here). Mr. Stern will have to work hard to get his dream finals.
P.S.
Rockets are an awesome team but will not win it all because they just can not stay healthy. Sounds familiar - doesnt it ?
I know its a "team" sport. But losing 2 out of last 3 to a highly depleted Rockets team. No TMAC, no Yao Ming, no Mutumbo. Playing 6'6" centers. How can kobe be compared to MJ? I just don't see this happening to any dominate player in history that had a good championship talent team.
The Rockets deserve all the credit for playing so well and so hard, but really, a lot of it has to be the lakers underachieving.

so in other words, your saying i should put a large amount of money on the lakers for game 7?![]()
id put my whole pay check on it, we all know how much the commissioner wants lebon kobe final
It is, and that's undeniable. The Lakers are probably going to win game 7, but they've gotten really beaten twice by a Rockets team that has no Yao or McGrady. Yes, they've played great but the Lakers are supposed to be the favorite to win the title and yet they can't even come close to matching their intensity in those two games. They should not be getting beaten this bad and I'm really starting to doubt their ability to win it all, before I thought they had a great chance at it but they're showing huge signs of mental weakness, and the weridest thing is that they were showing great fortitude in last year's playoffs, and while there were problems in the finals I thought they did better than people give them credit for. I think the Bynum injury is pretty big, now they don't Bynum at 100% physically or mentally, and since Odom has been back and forth between starting and the bench he doesn't have the great chemistry with Pau like he did last year.
Indeed, as obviously that is the only possible way the Lakers could beat Houston in a Game 7 on their home floor.
The whole NBA conspiracy thing is so played at this point. So lazy. Nothing more than an excuse for any result which somebody doesn't like.
