Pretty much agree with the preview. Rockets played hard last season and basically ran out of gas, but they really have gotten deeper this season and have some very nice pieces. Depending on how well they mesh and the injury bug being kind to Houston, this team could be a threat in the West. Ariza will be missed on the defensive end, but I finally watched both pre-season games the Rockets have played and noticed how athletic and fast Courtney Lee really is. For the price Lee is worth the time, he gets to the basket fast and controls his body movement far better than Ariza, and shows the potential on defense. Ariza was a solid defender, but I think Lee will be able to fill his shoes and have a really good season. Hopefully the Rockets can stay healthy and utilize all the options they have. http://realgm.com/src_feature_pieces/971/20101009/2010_11_season_preview_houston_rockets/#ixzz11twaPNJH
