Obit for the Season

Before the season, I predicted that Yao Ming would stay healthy for the entire season. I also predicted that the season would end with the Rockets in the playoffs, and they would lose to the Lakers in the conference finals. Obviously, the first missed prediction caused the second. Without Yao, the Rockets had a winning season, but never showed the consistency of a true contender. Nevertheless, they were fun to watch and acquitted themselves admirably, considering the hole in the middle that they were forced to deal with all season. Over the next couple of weeks, I will be writing reviews of many aspects of the Rockets’ season, the players, the coaches and the organization. Check Back often!
