Update, Yao Ming might now play

[Indazone]

Yao is a game time decision. He has the flu. Even if he makes it back, he'll be a step slow if that was even possible. I'll give this one advantage Hornets.

[Roxsfan]

give him fluids and OTC meds and lets go.

[Indazone]

He's been hanging out with Stevie Franchise playing Warcraft. Remember how many times Francis got sick?

[Ghazi]

Cmon Rockets kick some Whorenet ass

[Indazone]

According to Radio 610...Yao out tonight.

Deke to start


Lets go Cookie Monster

That was uncalled for. We don't take that kind of talk in my thread.

oops

[Kai]

Tough game tonight, I think we'll win.

[Ghazi]

Damn Yao out? ugh.

[Spursmania]

Tough game tonight. If Yao doesn't play, the Hornets will definitely win.

[sook]

yea the hornets will win

[sook]

this can't just be the AB and Scola show, comeon step up someone

[Pelicans78]

Sean Marks owns Carl Landry

[Pelicans78]

Expect the Rockets to dominate this quarter since their bench will destroy ours.

Can David West suck any worse than he does?

[sook]

as much as i hate chuck hayes i've seen him shutdown every PF in the league with the exception of td.

Have you seen him shoot FTs? There is a reason he is in the NBA lol :D

[Pelicans78]

I forgot how bad Mo-Pete actually stunk when he was healthy.

[Pelicans78]

Man, Rockets bench is outplaying our starters.

[sook]

our bench is insanely good this year, second to only the Jazz and Lakers i think

[Pelicans78]

Scott is in love with Posey. He's playing too many minutes when he doesn't provide too much.

[sook]

Someone wack artest in the face and wtf was that?


Everytime Paul falls down he gets a foul? Thats cheating right there not cool, dikembe wasn't even close and Cp3 gets 2 FTs for faking a fall

[Pelicans78]

I didn't see the replay, but CP3 is falling alot tonight.

[Ghazi]

Oh fuck you, when I started a thread about CP3 getting every call you said I was trolling.

CP3 is a little faggot punk on the court and flops his way to 3-4 FT's per game.

[Pelicans78]

Mutombo did hit CP3 in the head before he fell.

[Pelicans78]

Wright needs to finish inside regardless of Mutombo.

[sook]

but it seems that every time cp3 gets ft he's on the floor after a fall.

Oh well hornets are a better team as of now

[Pelicans78]

but it seems that every time cp3 gets ft he's on the floor after a fall.

CP3 sells the foul well. I think also refs think since he's only 6'0, he's more likely to fall after contact. I do think he is selling alot tonight. Probably doesn't trust his teammates so he's going all out.

Artest continues to shoot his team into a deficit.

[sook]

Oh fuck you, when I started a thread about CP3 getting every call you said I was trolling.

That doesn't refute him being the best PG in the league.

The dude was hitting shot after shot and was getting all his teammates involved.

[Ghazi]

Nothing to see here just the refs having post-Katrina sympathy for NOLA at a home game and giving them all the calls. No surprises here.

Artest left his brain on the plane what a stupid fucking moron. I have supported him but this is the worst game i have ever seen from a rocket this year

Again, thats totally uncalled for if you are going to say stuff like that, go away

:toast

[Pelicans78]

I'm worried the Rockets are a fresher team since their bench played more minutes in the first half. I hope Scott doesn't hold the blocks by Mutombo against Wright. Wright gives us more on the floor than Posey who is older, slower, and less energetic.

[Pelicans78]

Wow, OKC came back against the Spurs. It would be huge for the Rockets and Hornets if the Spurs choked that game away. I don't see it happening, but it would help.

[sook]

where is BRhornet?

[djohn2oo8]

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/emotionless2007/cpflop.gif

AT WHAT POINT IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH??? :wakeup

[Pelicans78]

If Brooks could learn how to distribute better, he would be fantastic with his speed and perimeter shooting. I'm hoping he can polish that skill while starting so many big games. I like his potential. I'm surprised Supervon isn't getting more minutes since he is the only legit SG since Artest and Battier are more SFs.

[Pelicans78]

where is BRhornet?

Probably at the game. Unlike me, he actually lives in New Orleans I believe. I live 3 hours west, about 20 minutes from the Texas border and 2 hours from the Toyota Center without traffic on 59.

[djohn2oo8]

Rockets are down because Artest forgot that this isn't a game of 21, and because Adelman is too stubborn to put von wafer back in

[Pelicans78]

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/emotionless2007/cpflop.gif

AT WHAT POINT IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH??? :wakeup

I'm worried he falls too much. He wears the pad on his left elbow because its sore. But he is a little guy.

[sook]

ahhh what a lucky bastard I'll look through the crowd for this familiar face

[sook]

my god....what is it with Rick Adelman, did he do that shit on purpose? Why still give artest the ball..

[Lars]

God I hate Chandler, staring people down like he is trying to be a hard-ass. Should of been banished to OKC imo.

[sook]

Do you not have the balls to tell ron to stop shooting?

Comeon, it doesn't get any worse than that you old senile fucker

[Pelicans78]

God I hate Chandler, staring people down like he is trying to be a hard-ass. Should of been banished to OKC imo.

I still think he will get traded in the offseason.

[Pelicans78]

I would bring in Wafer now. Artest is done for the night. He's our MVP.

[Pelicans78]

Artest finally gets a chance to score. Bad foul by Chandler.

[Pelicans78]

Ah, bad foul by Wright. 20 year-old mistake.

[sook]

its a miracle that 0-15 fucking chucker is still on the court and we are down 5.

Pull HIM OUT NOW ADELMAN

[Lars]

Very sad to watch our team without Yao.

[Pelicans78]

its a miracle that 0-15 fucking chucker is still on the court and we are down 5.

Pull HIM OUT NOW ADELMAN

He's been doing this alot this season. He shoots way too much.

[Pelicans78]

We need to stay on Brooks tight.

[Pelicans78]

Geez, West needs to calm down. He's getting frustrated by Scola.

[Lars]

wow, Im shocked

[Spursfan092120]

Wow...Houston caught up?

[Pelicans78]

Artest is on fire.

[Lars]

Wow...Houston caught up?

Artest decided to make a shot.

[Pelicans78]

Chandler can be so useless at times.

[Lars]

LOL Mutumbo traveled all over the place.

[Ghazi]

LMAO David West all star ladies and gentlemen.

[GuerillaBlack]

Probably at the game. Unlike me, he actually lives in New Orleans I believe. I live 3 hours west, about 20 minutes from the Texas border and 2 hours from the Toyota Center without traffic on 59.

You live in Vidor.

[Pelicans78]

I live in Louisiana. 20 minutes east of the Texas border.

[GuerillaBlack]

LOL, I was thinking Vidor, Louisana.

Let's hope Artest can keep his shooting alive.

[Pelicans78]

Lake Charles

[Lars]

Chris Paul is too good to flop.

[sook]

damn paul is too good how the fuck did he get in the lane like that and make that layup

[GuerillaBlack]

Lake Charles

Get the fuck outta here. I pretty much live there with as many times I go down there. Steamboat Bills son!!

[Lars]

Goddamn, 27 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, 6 steals

[Pelicans78]

Get the fuck outta here. I pretty much live there with as many times I go down there. Steamboat Bills son!!

Can never go wrong with Steamboat Bills

[GuerillaBlack]

Goddamn, 27 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, 6 steals

Yeah, Chris Paul is a beast.


Can never go wrong with Steamboat Bills

My gramps is the (or was) the head sheriff down there. Bill Miller.

[Pelicans78]

Other than CP3, our team is average.

[sook]

what am i missing out on? care to explain you 2?

[Pelicans78]

Butler's 3-point shooting is off and we need him since Peja is out.

[Lars]

Other than CP3, our team is average.

What are the odds Paul jumps ship when his contract is up?

[sook]

Other than CP3, our team is average.

no, your bench just sucks ass. You guys should have never traded or let Pargo go the guy was really good. If you get a better bench you will be set

[GuerillaBlack]

what am i missing out on? care to explain you 2?

The wonderful life of Lake Charles. :toast

Without CP3, New Orleans would be like Sacramento.

[Pelicans78]

what am i missing out on? care to explain you 2?

Good cajun restaurant

[Pelicans78]

Damn, this game is getting away from us.

[Pelicans78]

Need some stops. Unfortunately only CP3 can score for us.

[Ghazi]

Wow Hornets are getting punked.

REgardless of the game outcome Houston has proved their superior. THEY GOT D

[Pelicans78]

Crap, West should have got that rebound. He doesn't hustle enough.

[Pelicans78]

Crap, 2 missed rebounds and we bail out Lowery.

[Pelicans78]

Wonder how many games Chandler will miss with this ankle problem.

[Lars]

You guys should of won this. Road game w/o Yao.

[Pelicans78]

Rebounding killed us in the 4th quarter. Chandler was useless tonight.

[Pelicans78]

Butler's lack of shooting and our bench hurt us tonight.

[Unholy Turkey]

Mutombo for MVP.

[Pelicans78]

Disappointing loss. Probably costs us the division title and now we're in a hole for the 3rd seed. Players should be ashamed. Hopefully the front office realizes this team needs new players around CP3. Chandler, West, Posey, and Peja aren't the answers. Keep Wright, but start over everywhere else.

[GuerillaBlack]

Finally we finish a game.

[Indazone]

Nice win for the Rockets. Gotta say it was nice to see Deke out there again with his finger wag.

[Lars]

Keep posey.

[Rogue]

You guys should of won this. Road game w/o Yao.
Rockets are just extremely hot recently, but the high tempreture will also make the rockets explode in the first round of postseason like the past two years. It's the rockets' fate to get dismantled in the blue sky.

[Unholy Turkey]

I hate it when players try to pad their stats whenever they know the game is done.

[Ghazi]

Great win for the Rockets, GREAT WIN!

SO PROUD OF OUR BOYS!

Just kiddin :lol

But yeah, Rockets showed why they're the better team. They have heart, depth, and defense. Hornets have no heart, no defense, and play guys like Sean Marks.

[Unholy Turkey]

Keep posey.

Has Posey hit a clutch shot this year? I haven't seen or heard of one this season...

[Indazone]

Chandler only had 4 pts and fouled out. What's up with that?

[Lars]

[Double-Up]

Whatever you say Nostrodamus...either way I'm happy we got this road victory tonight.

[Ghazi]

Hornets always sputter in the face of a great defense.

[Rogue]

Great analysis as usual Rogue.
thanks :toast

But I don't want to waste too much time on scrub teams like rockets, so I won't make more analysis for the red rockets though I really appreciate your compliment which is as good as shit.

[Pelicans78]

I thought when we had the 8-0 to start the 3rd and give us an 11 point lead, the game was ours. After that, we got dismantled. Very disappointing loss. Even with Yao, this loss would have been painful at home. We needed this game and we lost it.

[sook]

the hornets remind me of our 04-05 team, the starters were really GOOD. But our bench sucked ass. Without a question, the Hornets starters were eons better than ours but our bench kept us in the game

[Lars]

This is what happens when you let Bonzi Wells, Brandon Bass, Birdman Andersen, and Pargo go away for nothing.

[sook]

yea i agree, if just pargo helped you out that much, imagine other aditions.

IMO i think posey is over rated , but i would have him over battier lol

[Indazone]

Hornets are good. Last year they were compared to the Spurs in the way they were constructed. Gave the Spurs a really good tough series too. Announcers said they were a year or two away from being at the Spurs level. If Chandler were playing like last year this would have been a lot closer. Good game tonight.

[Indazone]

This is what happens when you let Bonzi Wells, Brandon Bass, Birdman Andersen, and Pargo go away for nothing.

Well you can still go and get Bonzi Wells off the waiver wires.

[Ghazi]

Hornets starting 5 is good?

They only have 1 good player in their starting 5.

What did Chandler/West/Butler/Wright do tonight? Nothing.

[Indazone]

Well losing Pargo certainly didn't help things. In fact, I can't figure out why the Hornets just let him go.

[sook]

Hornets starting 5 is good?

They only have 1 good player in their starting 5.

What did Chandler/West/Butler/Wright do tonight? Nothing.

Julian Wright has A LOT of potential. From all the hornets games i watched last year he came up big, chandler is a solid defensive big man, west is an all star and Rasoul Butler has been on fire as of late in place of Peja, one of the best 3pt shooters of all time

[Rogue]

with a fully healthy squad, the Super Hornets lost a home game by 11 points to the houston rockets that were short of their two franchise players in yao and tmac who occupy nearly 30m of salary space in combination. Isn't it kind of stuff that makes yao's value debatable?

40 million of cap space but the spurs just lost to the thuinder so hey

[Indazone]

Adleman's gimmick offense doesn't need stars. Just guys that can move and get open and shoot the ball.

[Pelicans78]

Rockets have played well the last two seasons without Yao. Mutombo filled in well in the past. But that's when McGrady was playing lights out. He was a MVP candidate in the 2006-2007 season.

[Rogue]

thanks for correcting that, they take 40m of space combined. btw, how much is the salary cap this year? and how about the total salary of the rockets team?

[sribb43]

Rockets are a better team without T-mac and yao

[sook]

thanks for correcting that, they take 40m of space combined. btw, how much is the salary cap this year? and how about the total salary of the rockets team?
60 million. So yea...i think our starters tonight earned about 11 millions a year combined.

Scola is to thank for the victory just such an amazing bargain for the money.


A solid 14/14 effort

[Rogue]

tmac deserves the 23m dollars that he takes every year from his team though he is already wasted. I mean tmac wouldn't have been wasted at such a young age if tmac hadn't been traded to the rockets. the tragedy of tmac is absolutely the composement by some fake rockets fans who has joined in the rockets' bandwagon since yao was drafted in 02. tmac deserves the compensation.

[Ghazi]

That's one way of spinning it.

Another way of spinning it is Wright is a 21 YO TO prone scrub. Chandler has no offensive game whatsoever and is an offensive blackhole, David WEst is an undersized PF who didn't deserve his AS nomination and vanishes against good teams, and Butler is just having a fluke jump shooting stretch but overall is abelow average 2 guard.

Hornets blow.

[Double-Up]

thanks for correcting that, they take 40m of space combined. btw, how much is the salary cap this year? and how about the total salary of the rockets team?

Tell us something we don't know already, T-Mac is a gimp and Yao is soft at times, what's new? I'm not even gonna comment on the Mavs or your lack of intelligent posts in this thread. :rolleyes

[noob cake]

Even with 36m cap dedicated to Yao and Knee-Mac/T-Slack, we have a decently solid team because Morey "The Magician" always sign cheap players.

Teflon Don Battier - 6,373,900
Tru Warior Artest - 8,450,000
Luis Scola - 3,142,800 [Thank you Spurs for providing us with a cheap and decent/efficient PF]
Carl "The Tooth" Landry - 3,000,000

Everyone else makes less than 2,000,000 a year.

[sribb43]

Well I see Rasual Butler finally played like the Rasual Butler that we all have come to love

[Lars]

Scary team once we have McGrady's contract going towards another star player.

[Rogue]

Scary team once we have McGrady's contract going towards another star player.
it's hopeless the rockets will sign another superstar at 20m/yr until les sells another billionaire, as the rockets' cheapass owner has already learnt a lesson from tmac's case and won't do that ever.

[Roxsfan]

Tough game tonight. If Yao doesn't play, the Hornets will definitely win.

what was that? and the spurs will win tonight too.......:lmao:lmao

[aka_USAPA]

I thought when we had the 8-0 to start the 3rd and give us an 11 point lead, the game was ours. After that, we got dismantled. Very disappointing loss. Even with Yao, this loss would have been painful at home. We needed this game and we lost it.

And Hornets fans wonder why CP3 is not considered in the MVP race in the level of Kobe and Lebron. He's not even in Wade's level at this point. :lol:lol:lol:lol

[The Third Man]

thanks :toast

But I don't want to waste too much time on scrub teams like rockets, so I won't make more analysis for the red rockets though I really appreciate your compliment which is as good as shit.

Then why the fuck are you trolling in a Houston thread? Go watch highlights of your 2006 NBA championship parade.

[aka_USAPA]

I was tripping out on that post too. It would have been valid if the Mavs weren't playing for the 8th spot. :lol:lol:lol:lol:lol
