    The Houston Rockets are the new Phoenix Suns

    The fast on offense and probably has the best collective group of 3 pointer shooters. Lin, Parson's, Patterson, and Morris are decent, while a Harden and Delfino are light outs. And their defense is not the best the either.

    Asik is key to this team winning though. Did they have someone like him in the old Sun days?

    Offensively, yes, but they're not as bad defensively. Give 'em another year or two together and their defense will improve. Phoenix was terrible defensively every year during their run. They never improved because of D'Antoni's system. McHale has been preaching defense all year, but they're not really buying into it right now because of how young they are.

    They are not bad on defense, Harden is the only bad defender they play

    Never bet under on a Houston game. That's what I learned.

    Asik is a rebounding beast. I have noticed there are many games where he is the only player on the court with double digit rebounds, last night Patterson ended up with 10, but most others were not even close.

    There more like the Magic with Howard. Alot of 3 point shooters and a big man inside who can rebound and play defense. If Asik had any post moves on offense they would be serious contenders in the West.

    The cool thing is, the Rockets are set up to add another max contract to the roster after this year.
