What would the Rockets record be without McGrady and Artest?
What would the Rockets record be if McGrady and Artest were out for the whole season? I think they would be like the Heat of last year, one great player surrounded by second-rate role players and worse.
Without McGrady and Artest, they played one great game and almost beat the Lakers. They came down to earth and just played well enough to beat the so-so Heat.
I feel that tomorrow against the surging Denver Nuggets they'll come crashing down to earth. They will not be able to keep up with Denver's high-powered offense, imho. (They kept up with the Lakers offense but the Lakers aren't playing defense right now and I think that game was a fluke).
I'm not taking Denver in this game but I'll be looking to fade Houston without McGrady and Artest in the future.
Any thoughts on this?
