New season,can the Houston Rockets be able to enter the playoffs?

I will say it's very hard for them to enter playoff.

Of course they can t-mac is going to be back plus the bench aaron brooks and a new addition trevor ariza he a beast he can do a lil bit of everything even with yao out they can be a playoff contender

It will certainly be tough in the stacked western conference but if Ariza continues on from his playoff run for the Lakers and they get Tracy McGrady back to where he was before the injuries then they could surprise people again. Shane Battier is still there and he's one of the best defenders in the NBA. Aaron Brookes is certainly a talent who could come alive this season.

Hi there. 1st response is right. Anything is possible. But then looking at their status now their chances are low. The western conference is very tough. And to add more, most of the top teams in the western conference did a tweak to further improve their team. Spurs got Richard Jefferson, Lakers got Ron Artest(solid contributor of the rockets during their latest run in the playoffs), Blazers got Andre Miller(adds leadership and experience to their young team), Mavericks got Marion and Gooden (boosts athleticism, offense, and much needed defense) Hornets got Okafor(former Rokie of the Year), and Clippers got Griffin(#1 Draft pick and I think he's no joke).Denver will be better with Billups having his full season as a Nugget so as with the Jazz who's got young athletic power players and a great point guard with Deron Williams. Now, how many teams have I enumerated? hehe. I think the Rockets won't be in the playoffs this year. McGrady is so fragile. But it's the NBA. Anything is possible. We'll never know? Maybe Yao Ming will play.
