Slam Dunk Central (Free subscription) | 11/22/2009

The Houston Rockets, thanks to injuries to star players Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, have to find their offense wherever they can.

I find it amazing that the Houston Rockets, with the loss of Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, are able to play .500 ball, even at this early juncture of the NBA season.
