As I said before, LeBron is not an MVP candidate

[KidCongo]

Stats are misleading...if thats the case, then Amare should be the best player in the league.

My biggest beef with Lebron is that he doesnt have a consistant mid range jump shot. He doesnt have a consistant 3 point shot. He doesnt have a conistant Free throw shot...and he cant post up Derek Fisher.

LeBron can post up a lot more often but he has posted more this year. He is probably still trying to get comfortable playing this way. The FT is at 77%, I'd say that is pretty consistent, it's no Steve Nash but it's consistent.

The mid-range and 3pt are apparantly being extensively worked on and it may take until next season or the season after to see real results.

How would Amare be the best player according to stats? Wouldn't CP3 or LeBron be?

How can you talk when you know that lebron could drop 50+ on the mavs???

you talk like an immigrant son, but I still hope you're not.

repeatedly I have been announcing that I have nothing against rockets team or the real rockets fans, but there actually exist millions of idiots that claim they're rockets fans yet have no love at all for the rockets team.

Rockets team used to be a respectable team in 90s. with Dream and drexler and a couple of decent role players, that team played great games and won 2 straight championships. even though the rockets team stepped into their dark time after dream retired, francis and mobley still played pretty hard and their hard play helped defend the fame of the rockets team. but the rockets team started to collapse after they drafted yao on 02's draft night.

no matter how bad the statistics a team has are, it is still alive and has the hope to rebuild another dynasty only if the team has fans that really love it. healthy or sick, wealthy or poor... the true love always stands still. some rockets fans truly have sincere love for their team, they can eternally keep their love for their team even though their team sucks. but the "love" from other "rockets fans" is highly suspectable.

Rockets didn't play well in the playoffs of the past two seasons, instead of finding the problems and sloving them some rockets fans just kept blaming their only superstar, some of them even built a website called www.blametracy.com. they allowed yao to rest 4 months for some ailment in his toe, but they had no mercy on tmac even when his knee joint was already "bone against bone, with no cartilage". they kept forcing tmac to come back everytime he was out due to injuries, usually tmac had to come back to play games with injury and pain. those idiots put pressure and blame on tmac's back, aggravated his injury time after time and finally destroyed a talented player.

compared to their torture on tmac, it's even more unbelievable how excessive they spoil yao. for those idiots yao is just like a panda.

I genuinely feel ashamed for the real rockets fans to stand on the same side with those idiots who have little knowledge about NBA or the language we speak. those idiots gathered together in millions and keep spewing worthless comments on our nation on purpose of spreading their erosion to us, but I refuse to let them realize their dream.

quan y is always beaten by quality...

to be continued.

there're 453.5 million people around the world claiming to be rockets fans, but 97.5% of them are idiots living in a terrible territory. of the rest 2.5% there're also 0.3% are not real rockets fans. djohn is just included in the 0.3% of assistant idiots.

the only reason why these idiots root for rockets is just yao's presence on rockets team, so they'll immediately stop rooting for rockets team once yao gets traded or retires.

Bruce Bowen >>> Artest/Battier combined...

Oh man...

Bowen winning 1st team defender over Shane Battier last year was a absolute travesty..some Spurs fans will even admit that.

BTW, where's that "1st team defender in this game". Bowen used to be a great defender, the torch has been passed. Battier > Bowen and this is without "combining Artest".

Houston is the 4th largest city in America dumbass.....even without "China" there's plenty of Rockets fans to go around. Unlike your ty mavs they actually have a rich history with les and great alltime players.

Wrong buddy. Mav fans start 90% of the bull on this board (just like the S.D. rip off above).....go ask the Spurs fans. Your fanbase just comes off like a bunch of trolls and while there might be some good Mav posters on here, the Dallas troll losers have tainted y'all's name. I'm sorry if you might get dragged into this crap, but it's the Dallas trolls that bring down the I.Q. of this entire board.

I mean seriously everytime I log onto this board I have to read posts from Dallas fans talking about how much team A. B. and C. sucks even though team A. B. and C. is ahead of them in the standings and has a better record than they do....it's just dumb.

I can think of maybe 2 bad Mav fan posters on the board. The majority of this gets started because somewhere along the lines it became "cool" to trash the Mavs while they're down. I usually don't pay it any attention to such things but it's gotten about 10 times worse as of late. I don't think any Mav fans here have anything against the Rockets personally. I know while I don't really care for this current team or Yao, Hakeem is probably my favorite player of all time on any team.

That's cool, people love to trash Houston while they're down and I understand we're rivals, but the few idiots who just log on just to start , after awhile you can't tell who the legit posters are (the ones that just want to discuss basketball) and who the dumbasses are.....after awhile everything get's clouded.....and while we're on this topic, that guy "S.D" he used to walk the fine line of being a troll and just being funny, but now he's crossed it too.

Bruce Bowen >>> Artest/Battier combined...

Fail....

I give props to Bowen even though he was the Rick Flair of the NBA (dirtiest player in the game) he was (key word) WAS a great defender, but to say he's a better defender than Battier is bat crazy and completely homeristic.

Battier is probably the smartest defender in the entire league.(Great man to man and one of the best help defenders in the league also)...He doesn't push the rules like Bowen did, he just studies a crap load of tape and picks up on on the opposing players/teams' tendencies and knows what their going to do before they even know when they're going to do it. The guy's basketball I.Q. is through the roof. I could see this guy being a coach one day, but knowing him he'll probably be a U.S. Senator instead.....really smart guy.
