A team with Yao and McGrady should be playing for a championship not the fourth or fifth seed year in and year out. The soft as tissue paper is a criticism of their resolve and nothing more.

You never know how these things will pan out, but it's obvious that Houston couldn't stand pat if they wanted make waves in the West. As much as Artest is known for his defense, I really think he brings an offensive prowess the Rockets have needed. He's a legit threat to score 20 and gives Houston a Big Three in the Celtics mode. Combine that with their defense and I gotta say, they'll be fun to watch. I think the Rockets play defense too well to be called soft as tissue paper — regardless, I like the trade.

They are HUGE! Their line-up is big as hell. Tmac and Ron on the perimeter= a miss match for one of them. Tmac can pull up and hit jumpers in anyone's eye and Ron is all about powering to the bucket. Dont forget about Barry popping 3's and Skip improving. Scola/Landry and hustle/rebounding maniacs too.
