Do you think Houston Rockets will win the final championship if Yao did not break his leg? or do you think Rockets has the opportunity to win in the next season?

I don't think they're capable of winning the championship this year even with a healthy Yao. Houston just don't have enough reliable support for TMAC and YAO.

hi tpy. i doubt if houston can make it to the finals even when they have a healthy yao in their line-up. the team just flat out finds a way to lose in the play-offs.i think adelman is a good coach for this team but i doubt that they can win in the play-offs with tmac. tmac is a good player to watch in the regular season but a perennial choker in the play-offs. they need to rebuild the team and find a go to guy that doesn't choke. the rockets need to find a legit scorer and a true leader on the court. yao fits the bill but issues about his health will always be a concern. they also need more big bodies that can paly defense and get the rebounds. i like how scola and alston played this season and how battier has stepped up. i hope they trade tmac away and get younger and mroe athletic players.

I doubt it. They can't even get past the first round yet even when yao isn't injured. It was great and odd win the rockets did win 22 straight. Yao was injured during most of that streak. The rockets probably need an additional really good or superstar type player to get further in the playoffs. If they can get past the first 2 rounds I would say they have a chance at winning the finals.
