Who will be this year's version of the 2004/05 Denver Nuggets who did so well in the 2nd half last year? Listed below you'll find some teams that will surprise you and some that will not.
As of this point in the 2005/06 NBA season, if you polled 100 people probably 90 of them would tell you that the Houston Rockets suck. While their record may show a meager 22-31 at the break, there's more to their story which will surely play a big role in a huge comeback in the second half.
T-Mac has been banged up. Yao Ming missed a ton of games and Stromile Swift has been nothing more than a bust. All of these players figure to revert back to their normal level of production shortly after the break.
We also like the fact that while these guys were down players like Luther Head were given an opportunity to get some playing time and gain valuable experience that is only gained from being on the floor in a live NBA game.
While we don't expect them to catch fire and make any noise in the playoffs, the general public sees Houston as a "bad team" so early on until the Rockets make some noise on the scoreboard there should be some pretty good value relative to the point spread. Keep your eyes on them and your wallet open. This all assuming that McGrady and Ming stay on the court injury free which McGrady is pretty questionable in our book. Yao is young and resilient and should be fine.
Another team similar to the Rockets are the Sacramento Kings. Bonzi Wells has been absent from the lineup quite a bit this season, Brad Miller has had some nagging injuries, Peja was down (since traded to the Pacers), Shareef Abdur-Rahim has been out a ton as well. These are all excellent roll players that many felt would help the Kings to make a big push in the west this year. At 24-29 it would be said that their season has been a flop.
The acquisition of Ron Artest is an interesting one to say the least and it should be watched closely. Artest has the kind of talent and personality that can either make or break a team. While he wasn't everything that made the Pacers a good team, he was surely an important cog and is a player to be reckoned with by opponents. We'd also like to point out that Mike Bibby is starting to look more like a floor general than a 3 point maniac, so that maturity should make for a better team as well. Keep an eye on them!
Lastly, many are predicting that the Bucks will make some noise in the second half. Sure, they had a tough schedule, maybe the most difficult 1st half schedule in the NBA. Don't buy into the hype though, this team doesn't play defense and also doesn't have what it takes to win on the road.
Until next time, good luck in your action!
