do you think the Houston Rockets will fire up next season? Because of their disappointing loss in the playoffs, and few winnings this season, will they get tired of losing and be the next champions? comments will be very much appreciated. tnx

yes ,i do believe that the Rockets will get the championship next season if some payers are exchanged for what they need ,besides changing the head coach .
I think the Rockets do have the ability to get the championship with Yao and Tracy Mcgrady in the team .

I agree with Sourceseeker. In order for the Rockets to win it all, it has to move past the first round. A good, tough point guard with penetrating moves and careful shot selection, an agile imposing forward that would help Yao in the middle. I would like to add a really good three point shooter to counter the double teaming strategy teams would be putting on Tmac and Yao. The Rockets' shooters are like the Cavs'D.Marshall...a good shooter on some parts of the game, but not when the game is on the line or when they need to dowse their opponents' runs...

Yes the Rockets will have a chance but they will have to get the right mix of luck and skill. Western teams will be even better next year. Dallas and San antonio will be strong again. Utah will be improved and look for Portland, Denver and Seattle to be better.
And you know the Lakers are not going to stand pat. They will make a deal to try to get one or two players to help Kobe.
The Rockets must get a tougher minded more clutch point guard in the vain of Jason Kidd. Alot of people are mentioning AC Law of Texas Am as the one to help but I don't know about a rookie. One answer maybe V. Spanoulis who is already there. He had a great impact in the Olympics ; and Adelman can bring it out of him, he may be the answer.
The Rockets must get even more athletic at the four. The biggest thing Adelman must do is build more confidence in his depth. I believe this was the problem with Van Gundy.

yes, I believe they have the potential ablility to be the champions, because they have the best player as Yaoming and Macgredy.
support Rockets!!!

Id like to believe they will be champions. But with its current lineup, it would be far fetched. They need to bring in new platers, people who would complemnt the dominance of Tmac and Yao. Only Shane Battier is a legitimate good player from their lineup. Adelman must paln over the summer who to get, who to trade. Personally, I think they need a good point guard or 2-guard. and a hard-nose rebounder defender at the 4th spot. they also need to have consistent 3ppoint shooters since yao and tmac will be attracting double team night in and night out
