There team is STACKED
I am going back and forth Between them, Lakers and Hornets to win the west, but as of now if they stay healthy I give them the slight edge over both
Wow
I can’t believe so many are “Booking it”.
Are all of you who voted this way, factoring in Yao’s yearly broken foot? What about McGrady’s back?
If they make it to the post season unscathed, sure, they’ll probably make the second round. But if they’re counting on Artest to carry the team in the playoffs, it’ll be another first round exit.
Witty Unpredictable Talent and Natural Game
+1
Way too much injury history to absolutely guarantee it. I think that LAL and Utah are going to meet in the WCF and NOH will be eliminated in the second round. That other semi-finals spot will be a battle between Houston, PHX and SAS, and it very well might come down to who’s the least banged up at the end of the season.
McGrady is going to hold up this season, you know why.......
…….. Because he’s on my fantasy team so, so, so he’s gotta for me! (lol)

oh man
this team… could and should, but doesn’t… because…
There is no way you can book it with this team. that doesn’t stop Fatty, but I won’t do it.
We haven't done anything yet... but don't blink.
For our sake, I hope the Rockets go all the way
and prove that injury prone teams can bust out and stay healthy and win a ring

we're not really injury prone
MANY other teams have injuries as well.
We haven't done anything yet... but don't blink.
Rocket bench
I think their bench is lacking, any injuries to the starters would hurt this team in a major way.
How can you book anything for a team whose two best players are always injured?
The perfect is the enemy of the good.
I booked it because I remeber last year when Yao went down
and I ran my mouth that we would pass them in the playoff race. Then they actually got better and were one of the winningest teams after the injury. McGrady and Yao may miss games, but they still seem to win. Artest makes them even better, but can he keep his head in it? IDK, but I can see them with a top 4 seed (either winning the SW or being the best second place team behind NO – they’re better than SA) and a first round win. After that, I don’t know.
They'd be a lock for the 2nd round without Yao
They’re an absolutely loaded, especially their interior. Scola, Landry, Dorsey, Hayes and then you have the perimeter defenders Artest and Battier. They couldn’t be a bad defensive team if they tried. Then you’ve got the always savvy presence of Brent Barry, and this team just looks like its made for the playoffs. As long as McLazy doesn’t go for long stretches of bad outside jumpers, this team will also be able to get good shots from all over. I can’t see them not being a top 3 team, and I don’t see many bad matchups for them of the West’s leftovers.
I went with book it
simply because with Artest on the team, it lightens the load for Yao and T-mac. I think those guys are less likely to be injured with a 3rd option like Ron-Ron to help carry that team
You forgot...
You forgot the “Who cares? I’m a Blazer fan.” option.

Book it if their big 3 can stay healthy
D-U-H.
when i get sad, i stop being sad & become awesome again. true story.
I would pencil them in for the second round
but I would neither pen them in or book it as that term is a little silly
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
Talk about a pithy post
Marc Gasol´s formula.

Yao seems to have proven that he can’t stay healthy for a whole season and McGrady might be out too. I agree with Artest that they are a better team but I don’t think you can say they will win a playoff series this early. With a top 3 seed and healthy McGrady they would have a very good chance but I am not convinced those things are going to happen yet because the season is too young.
you damn
right book it blazers artest=f.agent in 09 put your money there pricthard ron*ron=toughness&grit 2 things this team definately do not have
Do not book it.
If Houston makes it that far, I’ll ban fatty for another year.
