Here’s an excellent illustration of the Rockets three-point offense by Kevin Arnovitz at Clippersblog.com. Or perhaps it’s more about the awful Clippers defense. Ricky Davis, seriously, what are you doing out there? Commit to something!

This kind of explains the Rockets in my mind at least. They may not be the most physically gift, or the tallest, or the most touted. But they work hard and they work smart. They are patient, they don’t bow under pressure.

And although they are currently ranked at the eight spot in the West, they’ll be dangerous come playoff time. Remember, this is essentially the team that took the Lakers to seven games, which was farther than the Magic were able to go in the Finals. And that was without Yao to defend the twin towers of Gasol and Bynum.

It will be interesting to see what the Rockets do with Tracy McGrady, who wants to return to the team. They can certainly use his scoring, but it’s not as simple as that. I’ll leave it at that for now as we’ll be talking about it on the next podcast!
