The Rockets have officially imploded...

[pauls931]

after the way Barkley embarrassed Robinson with that last second shot, how u ended our chance to repeat in 2000, the way Amare and Marbury were acting in the 2003 series, Sarver and his chicken dance, Amare and his pushups, all the whining after game 3 of 2007, etc.......I have no remorse and feel no sympathy for the Suns.

I try hard to forget that Marbury played for the suns... thanks a lot ahole.

It's never too late to hop on the bandwagon

don't worry i always root for a western team in the finals

[Biggems]

Stop trying to rip-off the Rockets, let the Lakers do that.

Seriously though, I feel bad for the Rockets, they had so much potential coming into the year. That first game vs the Lakers was a much ballyhooed game on both sides.

I feel no sympathy or remorse for them. Not after the 95 WCF. To with them.....Besides, I knew they were way overrated going into the season. They haven't been to the 2nd round since Hakeem. They haven't been healthy in a few years. They keep changing coaches and players, not allowing themselves to build continuity. They are in a very tough West.....If they were in the East, I feel they would be at least a 3-4 seed year in and year out.

[Biggems]

I think Artest would make an awesome Spur. Yes he is insane....but he plays his butt off, will give you defensive effort every night....rebounds....and can score from anywhere on the floor.

[hhml]

Now is as good a time as ever to be a Lakers fan.

[Biggems]

Its gooooooooood over here in LA sook. There is room on the wagon too, plus the champagne flows much better in 80 degree weather. Hop on board...

Sook he knows this cause he jumped on the wagon last season

[DeadlyDynasty]

In my 13 years of watching NBA. T-Mac might be the worst excuse for a leader I have evern seen.

I read earlier in the day that Artest called at Tmac after his defensive perfomance in a particular game and all Tmac could say was that too many people were talking (referring to the locker room) and to shut up. Or something along those lines.

Seems like McGrady cant handle criticism well. But that is nothing new. Props to Artest to calling him out there

see Vince Carter, Stephon Marbury, Chris Webber, et al

[Biggems]

I try hard to forget that Marbury played for the suns... thanks a lot ahole.

you are very welcome.........btw, you also had michael finley and robert horry.

[sook]

Everybody in the huddle and tmac standing off to the side just looks away.

Something is dead wrong with this team.

[pauls931]

see Vince Carter, Stephon Marbury, Chris Webber, et al

Webber had one good run cut short by a freethrow disparity.

[IronMexican]

The Lakers wagon is hot right now. Hop on! Not quite as hot as the the 07 Pats, but still.

your sig was funny, but it would have been funnier if u would have stolen the line from Austin Powers.....It's a bit nutty

[DeadlyDynasty]

Dude was Houdini in the fourth quarter w/ his disappearing act

[Biggems]

Pippen was a horrible leader too....remember when Phil wanted to give the last shot to Kukoc and Pip refused to leave the bench.....it was at that moment that I lost all respect for Pip and I stopped liking him as a player.

[sook]

The final score is a bit deceiving. Rick took the starters out at the start of the half and Aaron Brooks got a career high.

Its not a talent problem. Its a chemistry problem.


I would trade for the Cancer Iverson at this point. Anything from watching a game like that ever again

[Biggems]

I loved it when he called the TO in the Championship game, while at Michigan, but they didn't have any....and it cost his team the le....

And instead of learning from the mistake, he repeated the same infraction in the NBA.

IDIOT

[sook]

Bucks annoucers are ripping the Rockets.

LOL "Houston needs to go home and get spanked" "Bucks spanked the Rockets"

spank of the day.



Rockets bench scored 70 points this game.


Also, T-Mac/Alston were sitting far away from Yao/Artest


A rift is growing

[pauls931]

you are very welcome.........btw, you also had michael finley and robert horry.

I liked finley when he was on the suns. He played pretty good D back then and was an offensive force. Horry, yeah, he's worthless unless he's on a team with the best center/PF in the league.

So what you are saying is, the Rockets are the Dallas Cowboys of the NBA....all the talent to go far, but no sense of team or self accountability.

No. What the Rockets are at this point is far worse from the cowboys.

This team has made it impossible for me to root for them anymore. I have always been a pistons/Rockets fan , i don't care if my team loses, at least show some effort. Nobody besides Scola/brooks/Landry/wafer showed up opr looked like it



Artest called tmac out on defense
Tmac played the best defense of his life vs the twolces
Tmac says stfu ron

Yao/Artest and Tmac/Rafer really seem to hate each other at this point


Artest Yao Scola empty seat rafer tmac then deke... why the is deke sitting by the coaches because someone asked him for his seat at the end of the bench... im just hoping tmac smells really bad.. but now i know im reaching

career choke artist. He was the same way in those Lakers-Kings series. A typical scoring output from Webber against the Lakers: 22 points--16 in the first half, 4 in the 3rd, and 2 in the 4th. W/o fail he would have a game like that every time, but all people saw was the boxscore and they thought he was great

[ducks]

Pippen was a horrible leader too....remember when Phil wanted to give the last shot to Kukoc and Pip refused to leave the bench.....it was at that moment that I lost all respect for Pip and I stopped liking him as a player.

because you never did anything stupid ever in your life

glad a fan from another team saw this too. t-mac...he is the biggest manic depressive in the world. i wonder if the rockets could get a ton for him since he is expiring next year and maybe get some team to bite on the "potential" of this quitter coming back. every team in the league is lining up for the 2010 free agent market and obviously not every team is going to land someone big. morey has pulled huge trades out of thin air in the past so this might be the right time now to bail on t-quit.

i don't really like the idea of trading for amare since he doesn't really fill a major weakness and he is a no defense bag too. but maybe something crazy will pop up like the artest trade we had. it hasn't worked out but we gave up jack for him so who cares.
