The Houston Rockets managed to over come a multitude of injuries and still finished 2 games over .500 good enough for 9th place out west. Houston fans are hoping for some luck with the injuries over the next season with a return to the postseason in their sights. Center Yao Ming is coming back from a broken foot and the Rockets plan to bring him along slowly limiting his minutes. Newly signed Brad Miller from Chicago gives them the flexibility to do that. Luis Scola is back at power forward. The wings consist of Aaron Brooks, Kevin Martin, and Shane Battier. Rounding out the bench is Courtney Lee, Kyle Lowry, Chase Buddinger, Jordan Hill, Chuck Hayes, Jared Jefferies, and Patrick Patterson. If they can avoid the injury bug the Rockets will be contending for a playoff spot out west. The bigger question with this franchise surrounds the future of Yao Ming. His injury problems continue to pile up and if he continues to have injury problems at some point Houston will need to move on for the best of the franchise.
