Not dead yet!

The Astros' elimination is still 2. We need a win from the Wizard and losses from both the Brewers and Mets. That's no small order. The Brewers are collapsing, but they're facing the Pirates. Let's hope for the best.

And the Rockets' training camp is coming up soon. Daryl Morey matched Landry's offer from Charlotte, so our resident awesome PF not named Luis Scola is going to be back this year. And it's a pretty sweet deal, too - $3MM/year for two years, with a team option for a third year.

The current debate is on what the Rockets are going to do for a starting lineup. Most think that Adelman will find a starting five of: Alston, T-Mac, Battier, Scola/Landry, and Yao. There was some talk about just benching Alston and making T-Mac the primary ball-handler, putting Artest in SG/SF. That's not a terrible idea, I suppose. Besides, Adelman's system will ensure that all of the Rockets will get playing time.

I'm feeling really good about the coming NBA season. T-Mac, Yao, and Artest are an awesome big three, and we have fantastic talent amongst the role-players. Gonna be cool!
