WHOO HOO 2ND ROUND HERE I COME!!(McGrady)

If ya haven't heard yet Ron Artest is a Rocket and even though it's only July this is going to be the most significant NBA off season move. Artest is a great pick up by Houston. Not only does he bring the on the court intangibles like defense, rebounding and 16 points per game, but he brings the things that you won't see in the stat chart like attitude, physical play, a desire to win and leadership. OK let me just stop the Houston Rockets party just a second. McGrady and Yoa just can't seem to stay healthy. Year after year the Rockets suffer from not having both of their superstars at 100% during the post season. T- Mac and Yoa better see the Phoenix Suns trainers or something cause once you go to that team your healed (ex: Tim Thomas, Shaq Daddy, and Grant Hill of all people, the guys ankle is like a straw and he was dunking on ppl ....aight let me stop). OK, time to party again Houston because with Artest and Battier's physical play it just might keep McGrady healthy since he wouldn't have to play hero all the time. Houston is now a Western Conference Championship contender and in my opinion they are probably a Rasheed Wallace or McDyess kind of forward away from being a NBA final contender.

So dry those tears T- Mac and say hello to the 2ND round.
