Houston Rockets FUTURE BET

[SIMON]

(+800) to win the Western Conference
Laying $500 to win $4000

Ming
McGrady
Alston
Battier
Artest

Solid 5

Only two teams can beat them in the west, the Lakers and New Orleans.

Neither of them plays better defense than Houston. As we saw last year DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS !!!!!

not positive on this but i think they somehow lost their rookie (last year)Landry who looked like the real deal. They need a deeper bench and this will hurt.

Landry is back.

I am a big fan but I just dont see it. Tracy and Yao cant stay healthy - never have. Alston's had 3 decent months his whole career so not sure he can be counted on.

And if they have to play the Jazz in the playoffs again they are done.

But its not a bad price.

"McGrady"

oh-fer in his post-season career and now you're risking money that he'll win 3 series?

no thanks

plus, he and ming are always hurt at some point....will kill this team.

They are always injured during the season and Mcgrady is saying he is 75-80% right now. He will be playing with arthritis in his shoulder all season(needs surgery again next off season).
That said Artest brings way more offense to the table if just one of them is down.
Also they added Brent Barry which will help off the bench. Double down on Yao and Barry will knock down the 3's(something Rafer doesnt do).

A healthy Rockets team come playoff time is trouble for the West.

Artest and Battier are 2 of the top defensive players in the league.
