The Houston Rockets look considerably diverse from the era of Yao Ming and Steve Francis running the show. Youthful PG Kyle Lowry runs the offense with help from PF Luis Scola and PG Goran Dragic.

Only not too long ago, this matchup would have been all over tv with competitors such as Mike Bibby, Vlade Divac, Chris Webber, and Bobby Jackson pacing the Sacramento Kings. The Houston Rockets had Yao Ming, Steve Francis, Robert Horry, and also Tracy McGrady in it. The times have certainly transformed things for both teams as the era of free agency and pay caps have made long-term dynasties nearly obsolete.
This ought to be an amazing matchup between these 2 once-mighty franchises with the game itself too close to call.
