Many people say that since McGrady has left, the Rockets are doing a lot better. You are probably right. That leaves Aaron Brooks, Luis Scola, Yao Ming, Rafer Alston, and Chuck Hayes some good playing time. But what happened to Steve Francis? They got him from the Blazers, and he is never playing. I think I know why. He hardly played with the Knicks because they treated him like junk and started Stephon and Jamal Crawford in his place. Now he is out of shape and needs to get back on track.
The good thing the Blazers got out of the Randolph trade was that they got Channing Frye. That isn't the only thing, though. It gave LaMarcus Aldridge more playing time, and now he is a dominant C-PF. The only problem they have is they shoot too many jump shots. In the game against Utah a wh! ile back, they shot way too many jump shots and that is what ended their 13-game winning streak. But now they are back on track, already on a 4 game winning streak.
