Rockets better pray the Mavericks choke away the fifth-seed or they're going to be fucked in the first round.


:lol Only thing I worry about with the Rockets facing the Sonics....is the f-ing refs.They have a history of fucking over the Rockets when we play them,going back to the Hakeem days.

T-Mac needs to play with a bad hip more often.

Yep. Personal stats should always supersede team accomplishments -- *cough* 21-2 4th quarter run.

:lol I wonder if you would have posted again if the Rockets won, I'm guessing no.

Oh well, Rox weren't going to win this game with only 2 guys scoring. *slaps Wesley, James, and Barry* Make a jump shot!

But in the end, I blame this loss on Matrix. PSP is taking you away from the Rockets!

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Man that 4th quarter was brutal. Spurs just started spanking the Rocks. Ouch. Matrix was in pain.

You cant expect to beat a team like the Spurs when only one player came to play,its that simple.

The loss hurt,but DM life goes on with our sexy psps

Damn Minnesota cant even put the Clippers away! Come on, the Lakers need help so they can finish with the better record atleast! :lol
 
Don't call it a comeback, Mr. Brent Barry! :D

And Rasho is seriously one of the most underrated defenders in the league. He plays awesome D, at least in the Spurs system. Yao even got outrebounded by Tony. :p

I always wondered why Brent Musberger is always ripping the Lakers then I found out today that his brother is Phil Jackson's agaent :lol
 
Rockets fans, don't you think it was pretty stupid of Van Gundy to play T-Mac so many minutes after Friday's injury? The playoffs are so close and he should have taken better care of him.

You kinda stink at trolling Houston teams and players.

Do I think it was stupid Bati? Yea I do a little,but T-mac looked fine to me and if he were in any kinda pain the trainer Keith Jones would have held is ass out,even if Gundy wanted him to play,trust me.His mins should have been cut down,but when you have a 5 point lead in the start of the 4th and only one scoring option cause no one else could hit shit,what are you going to do :\ Rockets need wins,its the NBA,you never know whats going to happen.....T-mac played only 3 mins and got hurt the game before,he could suit up the next day and hurt himself 5 or 10 mins into the game.

Lakers will be fine next year. You can bet your ass Lakers management is gonna go after some big players and a big name coach.

Who do you think is gonna be available... that will defer to Kobe?
 
Not to mention the Lakers have no cap space really.

That no.32 guy on the Miami Heat looks pretty good though.

Maybe they'd trade him for ... I dunno, Odom + Butler and a draft pick?

;)

Lakers don't need any big-name players. They have 2 and a developing one in Butler. Malone and Payton were big names and we all know how that worked out.. What the team needs is some hard-nosed players who know and accept their freakin' roles!!!!

They score more than enough points while lacking PG play, rebounding and defense....

well it will be hard for any pg to control the flow with Kobe dribbling in the corner every half set play for 15 secs

The Lakers only need to get a good coach and for Konex to stop cheering for them (we may have to trade Kobe for T-Mac for this to happen). Kobe has a decent supporting cast, but they have seemingly no system in place for their offense or defense and never had all year. It totally shows how disorganized the team is right now. They would be better off with someone who can install a simple offense too, maybe get the team running.

I think we should trade Butler too. I have some hope for Odom, but I think Butler will never realize his potential.

The reason he has the ball so much now is cos he's the only ball-handler on the team that can run the offense. Luke can run it too but he has zero handles. Kobe has said himself that he prefers to play on the wings but what can they do if they have no one to initiate the offense?

I mean, the two alleged PGs on the team combined for 0 assists and 6 turnovers on 5-18 shooting yesterday (in 48 minutes)!!! *faints*

Go Bulls...though not sure the Kings deserve to be 12 still, theyre a little better than that.


1 (3) Suns 52-17 Suns play 10 of their final 13 games at home. Of course, as good as they are on the road -- leading the league at 29-8 -- maybe that closing sked helps San Antonio more than Phoenix.

2 (1) Heat 53-18 Sorry. Don't care how impressive Heat looked winning at Suns' pace. Lose to Charlotte the next night and you forfeit the top spot.

3 (4) Spurs 52-18 Pop thinks Duncan will make an appearance during the final five games of the regular season. Dare we say, even without him until the playoffs, Spurs hang on to a top-two seed.

4 (5) SuperSonics 48-21 As hot as Nuggets are, look at Sonics' division lead. It's still nearly 10 games, in spite of stubborn Seattle's recent pockets of turmoil.

5 (8) Rockets 42-28 After cooling off Heat, all Rockets needed to finally seize No. 5 out West was a win over Duncan-less Spurs. Instead Houston joined Atlanta and Charlotte as the only teams to lose to SA with Duncan out.

6 (2) Pistons 43-26 Why is a Lakers comparison is so apt for these switch-flipping Pistons? One Detroit observer we trust says the champs' problem is arrogance against lesser teams. Just like the old Lakers.

7 (7) Mavericks 46-23 Winner of the Dallas-Sacto season series has lost the teams' last three playoff matchups. So maybe Mavs (3-1 this season) would prefer seeing Houston in Round 1.

8 (10) Nuggets 38-30 The committee didn't believe it when some of our Nuggets pals said they were gunning for the seventh seed out West. But take a look: Denver is closer to No. 7 than No. 9.

9 (16) Bulls 37-31 Winning five in a row at this point -- three on the road -- is as impressive as anything these Bulls have achieved. So it's almost time, for the first time since '98, to print up playoff tickets.

10 (6) Celtics 38-32 This might be an omen. The same week word leaks out that Celts want to add some black to their unis next season, they drop three straight and anger their coach with their cockiness.

11 (11) Wizards 38-30 Looks like they got the right Jordan this time. Eddie likely won't win Coach of the Year, but he has Wiz off to a 2-2 start on a crucial five-game trip ... without the injured Jamison.

12 (12) Kings 43-28 Our money's on Philly for the big Monday night showdown. Can't see Webber losing both games to his old team.

13 (9) Grizzlies 39-29 Team record for road wins in a season is 19. But after crashing at home to Hornets, it'll be tough for Grizz to win three more roadies, given their rough remaining schedule.

14 (13) Pacers 35-34 How good a coaching job has Carlisle done? Pacers' projected starting lineup of Tinsley, Miller, Jackson, Foster and O'Neal has combined to played zero games together.

15 (14) Timberwolves 37-34 The good news? Wolves apparently haven't quit. The bad news? They probably waited too long to find a groove.

Kobe has a decent supporting cast

Talentwise, yes but the roster balance is HORRENDOUS. No pg, no pf, one so-so center and a glut of SFs and tweeners. The coaching is also an issue but the lack of depth at key positions is the main culprit...

I think we should trade Butler too. I have some hope for Odom, but I think Butler will never realize his potential.

I say keep them both. Looking at all the good teams in the league, they have more than 2 or 3 above average players. Keep the core 3 and build around that with the MLE, lottery and trading Chucky/George/Walton/Cook/Vlade...

he has always done that... it is the biggest flaw in his game.

Cos when Harper and Shaw left, he was the only one Phil trusted to run the tri. Has he played with a true PG ever since? (Besides GP who couldn't run the tri either) Now that they have no post player, you gotta have a PG who can create in the halfcourt and lead the break. Chucky cannot initiate anything in a set offense and he simply refuses to give it up on the break....

PS: The biggest flaw in Kobe's game is not respecting non-stars and thue leaving them open to roam and help. He only plays D on stars >_<

that's not a flaw that's a lack of heart.

Fisher wasn't a bad PG (before you say anything I never said he was great, but you yourself said they don't need a big name pg just one who can handle the rock) but the PG can't do anything when he is dribbling in the corner.

PS dribbling in the corner is not the triangle offense...

Fisher is not a true PG either. He's more of a shooter and Phil had Kobe run the offense in crunchtime while he camped at the 3pt arc. At least he tried to defend though (unlike Chucky)

The Lakers NEED to make a run at Earl Watson....

as a Kobe fan, Cloudy, do you think he would react well to having the ball taken out of his hands? If they got an Eric Snow, Earl Watson, type of player.

Like I posted earlier, he's said so himself. Do you think he likes being 3rd in turnovers per game (AI and Wade)? If you've watched them this year, Kobe is most effective catching the ball in the post. The coaches know it but need him to get other guys going by running the offense.

Also, they need a play-making PG who can score as well. Eric Snow is a no-no. Watson and Daniels are my 2 first choices. They'd have a chance to start and Earl went to UCLA so he's familiar with the area :D

Well see... I still can see him dribbling the clock away and then throwing up a bad shot of passing it to someone else for a bad shot. He does that too often, and always has. Even when all he had to do was pass the ball to Shaq...

That was a painful game last night with Iverson's shooting,but he was still getting it done with all of those assists and just the attention he gets while driving led to so many wide open 3's and shit.Crazy oops he was throwing to Iggy...and damn the Lakers are awful!They finished with what,27 TO's?

I doubt we will have much of a chance against the Suns,we might be able to pull out a W against the Kings if everyone is playing good.I just want Boston to keep losing :D
