Houston Rockets Season Preview
Does a team's preseason record predict what the regular season will be like? HOOPSWORLD looks back 10 years to see what we can find out.
(I know we hate you in Lakers Nation.)
(Sure, the C's will win 72 games. 61 in the regular season, and 11 in the playoffs. We're going to win 16 playoff games, and that's all I care about.)
(Timbo? Fill us in. If Andre Miller can't be the clear cut starter in Portland, how is he the 6th best PG? I'm all for him. Andre Miller has never won. I'll take him dragging your team down.)
Kevin Durant has fired back at a blog that was critical of his contributions to the Thunder.
Now, I'm not one to normally agree with Henry Abbott. (Also, if you are familiar with my thoughts, you will also know that I'm not too big on the mis-use of advanced stats.) But I think Henry has a point on this. Sometimes talent isn't everything you see, and when Plus/Minus is used correctly, it can show us what we may not see. We know Kevin Durant is a very talented future superstar, but what if the Thunder never take that leap? They didn't last year, and talent alone doesn't make a winner. Just ask Tracy McGrady or Stephon Marbury. Or even Yao Ming, whose Rockets matched up better with the Lakers when he was off the floor. Houston's team chemistry and matchups improved. He was clearly their best player, but obvious superior talent didn't show that. Look at our own Lamar Odom. I'm not going to go all Wayne Winston on you and claim Lamar is better than Kobe because of Plus/Minus, but LO's +/- tell us his effectiveness when his inconsistent box scores can't. Just win Kevin, and there's nothing to worry about. The pieces are in place.

By now I don't think
anyone will be surprised if the Lakers trade Farmar. The PG and guard positions are the deepest that the Lakers have and Farmar is the only player that I can see any other team wanting. With D’antoni’s style of play I wouldn’t be surprised if the Knicks would want him. Especially if the Lakers trade him for cash because they are way over the Cap. Just my guesstimation. (i know thats not a word) : )

I don't know
I still wouldn’t feel very comfortable with Shannon or Sasha running the second unit. Farmar has been penetrating so far this preseason which is a good thing. I still think Lakers let Farmar and Brown duke it out all season then trade the loser for a first round draft pick. Lots of ball to play though.

Saw this advertisement at the METRO in France and couldn’t help take a picture of it.
