Yao named Western Conference POW

[Bull's-eye]

Yao captured Western Conference Player of the Week honors on the heels of fellow Rocket Tracy McGrady taking home the season’s first award following NBA Opening Week. Yao averaged 27.8 points (.612, 41-67 FG; .906, 29-32 FT), 10.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.75 blocks in helping lead the Rockets to their first 6-1 start since 1996-97

what you think bulls-eye, can the rockets make it to the finals this year?

[Bull's-eye]

IMO, they are one consistant scorer from being capable of reaching the finals. I don't know if the combination of James, Wells or Head will be enough. I would like to see Francis given a shot to provide a little more offensive scoring or maybe see if the rookie Aaron Brooks can fill that role. Rockets may need to pull off a trade for a veteran shooter.
