Houston Could Be Surprise Team in 2010 NBA Online Wagering Action. There has been a lot of online wagering media attention this NBA betting off season focused on the comings and goings of players from one team to another the betterment of some teams and the decline of others. But one team that hasn’t gotten a lot of press coverage but could be just as imposing as any, when the online wager action gets underway in the 2010-11 NBA action is the Houston Rockets.
While teams like Miami, New York, Chicago and Cleveland have received the spot light in their chase for King James and other top free agents during the online wagering offseason the Rockets have quietly gone about their business. They even signed one of the biggest names in free agency with barely a notice from the online wagering media.
Chinese center Yao Ming pulled the “ant-decision” when he quietly re-signed with the NBA franchise that drafted him and by doing so he immediately made the Rockets a major power in the NBA online wager action.
Yao didn’t call a press conference or hold out for highest bidder he simply signed with Rockets and made what could have been a move that altered the balance of power in the NBA online wagering about as anti-climactic as possible.
With Yao back in the fold this team is instantly one of the best in the Western Conference online wagering action if not the entire NBA. He missed the entire online wagering season last year but is a 20/10 guy when healthy (19.7 ppg, 9.9 RPG in ’09). He’ll join several teammates that had break out seasons last year like PG Aaron Brooks (19.6 ppg, 5.3 apg) and Luis Scola (16.2 ppg, 8.6 rpg).
The Rockets finished with a record of 42-40 last season and missed out on the online wagering playoff action. That won’t happen again this year so long as Yao can stay healthy. He’s proven he’s the best big man in the league and his presence will immediately elevate this team to one of the best in the conference.
So while the Rockets may not have made as many headlines as some of their other NBA betting counterparts, there is no doubt that this team will be one of the most improved when the 2010-11 online wagering action gets underway.
