Kenny says Rockets can’t win in playoffs without Yao
March 8th, 2008by John
Kenny Smith is hatin’ on the Rockets in this video that looks like it was recorded sometimes over the past couple of days. He says there is no way they can win a championship without Yao, are a 6th seed in the West “at best,” and he doesn’t even think their chances of winning a playoff series this year is possible, shaking his head emphatically when asked the question.
Sorry, Kenny, but you might end up looking really bad on at least 2 of those predictions. If the Rockets prove you wrong, I hope Charles shows this prediction to the world on your TNT show like you guys show when the Chuckster is wrong.

Sure, I agree that the Rockets are better than a 6th seed and that they have a good chance to win a playoff series this season - Kenny may very well be proved wrong on these 2 predictions. However, I think he is right that they can’t win a championship without Yao.
Yes, I agree with you (I mentioned he would be wrong on 2 of the 3), but Kenny was so definitive on the inability to win a championship. I think it’s more possible than he thinks, though. — John
