Welcome to the second edition of the ISBA Into the Action. The debut was very solid and we'll try to make progress with this one too, so fasten your seatbelts.

The team featuring are the Houston Rockets. The coach is Luka aka TornadoZadar. We all know how he is very familiar with his personell and this Houston organization. Some people will yell "NASA we have a problem" when they face this team that knows each other very well and has experience with their coach. Expect a lot of off ball stagger screens and a gritty tough defense which defines itself from the inside with Asik, Patterson, Williams and Motiejunas. With Lin and Maritn and Royce and Parsons probably in the starting line up, scoring won't be a problem. Expect them to make the playoffs and I believe as a top 5 seed in the West. Paul and the Lakers this is a warning, a new gunner is coming in the Western Conference. The only problem will be the CPU teams, but with the experience and good defense they won't have too many problems, I doubt they will trade big names because they know each other well. The coach Luka didn't had many succesful seasons here, but he never had a team like this, which he really knows and it's his time to shine.
Fab 5: G Lin G Martin F Parsons F White C Asik
Player to Watch: Royce White aka Charles Barkley 2.0 :sir:

Love it. Got goosebumps watching Tracy's 13 in 35 and Hakeem destroying Robinson. Coldplay is a fine choice.

Royce White will be a star but it's going to take 2-3 seasons of OA and Luka putting him into specific training camps to improve his shooting attributes. Once that happens, its on.
