    Defintley but i think they need one more guy who can make sure they win their first round. Like a guard

    No. The rockets are are not deep enough. They have a great starting five but the bench is not deep enough. Phoenix has a similar problem with the bench and this is what will be the main difference between good teams and teams that get deep into the playoffs or to the finals. I would like to see a year where t-mac and yao can actually stay healthy together late in the season together because it has never happened. They need a good point guard and a a backup forward to help scola but other then that they have a good front line.

    But the west is way too deep now days and there is no room for error on your roster or timing of injuries.

    No, and unfortunately I think their window of opportunity is closing very quickly, with the Lakers, Hornets, Jazz, and Blazers set to rule the West in the next few years. To make a run, they need to:

    a) limit Yao's minutes and get a quality defensive backup center (Mutombo is a free agent, no word whether he is coming back)

    b) get a quality athletic backup small forward, Donte Green may be there in a few years buy isn't ready yet

    Yes and I would venture to say that they'd have a better team talent wise than the Rockets of 93-94 and 94-95
