Are we becoming Houston w/ Barkley?

[RAcker]

It may look like there are comparisons now, but if we had everybody healthy and weren't having to change lineups every night we'd be a very dangerous team.

Think about it, we have Kevin Garnett hurt.  We have Rasheed Wallace hurt.  We have Marquis Daniels hurt.  Two bench players playing now are coming off of injuries in BBD and TA.

It stinks that we have all of the injuries, but it should actually give us hope if they can all get healthy and stay healthy.  I realize that that's a huge "if" though.

That Rockets team in 1997 had only five good players -- their three stars + Mario Elie + Kevin Willis -- They would have made the Finals had they had a good supporting cast, and possibly beat Chicago in the process, but they didn't. They sacrificed a lot of depth to get Barkley and were unable to make it up via free agency.

The Celtics are a different team because of their quality depth. Because of players like Rondo and Perkins and then Sheed and Daniels and to a lesser degree House and Davis.
