    Is this FEAR that I hear? It sure sounds like a candyass, hoping and praying that his team doesn't have to play the CHAMPS... Me here thinking that the Lakers fans thought their team was INVINCIBLE... Has the Silver and Black fear gotten to you, are your balls shriveling up right now!?!

    I just hope the Rockets can make some noise and play the upset darkhorse role. We want to be the Xavier or Davidson of the NBA world

    The Rockets will win the Clippers have nothing to play for, and it looks like both Brand and Maggette may opt out.

    Man, would I like to see me some Maggette in Houston.

    We need a better PG and a stud SF. Battier is ok, but we need to get some stronger horses in these two positions. We got our Power Forward covered and Center positions covered although we need a better backup center for an aging Deke.

    Can't tell you how many Houston fans are secretly happy. Can't tell you how many times we have watched Alston shoot his tear drop or try to put up his dribble drive floater and cringe as we watched him put it up and "clank". Lot of fans are now calling this a blessing in disquise lol.

    Although I'd rather have him. Hope he recovers quickly. Dude is really good handling the rock.

    If San Antonio win, Phoenix win & Houston lose then

    3 San Antonio 56 26
    4 Utah 54 28
    5 Phoenix 55 27
    6 Houston 54 28

    Just perfect !!!
    1st rnd Houston with HCA
    2nd rnd New Orleans (no HCA) or Dallas (with HCA)
    It is not likely to happen though,

    We need to lose as does Phoenix and we play Houston in the 4 seed. That won't happen as the Suns are not going to lose the Blazers at home.

    Or

    We need to win as does Phoenix and Houston loses

    Then it is 3 vs 6 matchup for us with the Rockets,

    That is more possible but i don't see us winning tonight and i doubt Houston will lose to the Clippers.

    Alll the other scenarios favor us playing the Suns.

    He is using Western Medicine, he got some herbs to make it "look" good for his peeps over there.

    He will be fine by June........too bad we will be fishing on Lake Fork by then.

    As for Alston, a lot of us....including me, can not stand the guy.....Here is to hoping that Aarong Brooks and Bobby Jackson step up big time.

    I have use such medicine before. You must talk and learn of such thing. Before I have problem with arm. I breaks it and have 2 surgery. It take 2 and half years for arm to heal right.

    Then I have problem with nose. All west doctor say no problem and even tells me I imagine such thing. I explains to them I was hit by steal door that is slam in face and break nose. I also can no longer breathe the air.

    Doctors say "you are crazy and imagine such thing and photo is clear"

    So my mother say she know of friend that use Chinese medicine doctor. i goes to him and doctor is not Chinese but he is American he have been to school in China though and become doctor there. He speak in English and Mandarin only.

    I explain issue to him. He grab side of my face and says this thing like "orbiting part of face and sinus is block. You have thing calls blow out of face."

    He then grab some needles and place in forehead and also on nose and then he say now I grab bone and fix. He grab face and very hard press for about 5 hour. Then he say now I give you Chinese medicine to place on tung and I do such thing.

    After few day asthma problem and sinus issue and breathe problem is gone. I also not get the bad head ache. Then after this I have issue where I break foot. I remember Chinese medicine doctor and how he do for me before.

    I go to western doctor to compare and he say foot is broken and must have cast. I says I will do so but first must go to appointment. I go back to chinese school doctor and he say foot is fine. He explain to cook potatto in oven. he say take potato and soak skin in the vinegar juice.

    Then he say take cloth and steam hot, put potato on foot wrap in this and try stop swell area of foot. Then he say take towel and wrap in vinegar and puts this on foot area where break is. He explain drink green tea 3 times during day.

    About 5 days later foot is heal! No break and already is better. This is foot I can not even take pain. Just sit on bed or and lay with foot and pain is so much I can not manage. Now 5 or 6 day later can walk fine on foot no issue.

    I believe very good this Chinese medicine have power.

    A few thousand years of practice with results means you gotta look at that stuff seriously even though Western Medicine poo poo's this idea.

    When is the dumb-ass media going to stop refering to Alston as a "playground legend" ?? That is so far in the past it's laughable. He is now an actual NBA player. 99% of playground legends never make it in the NBA. The two skills are not correlated.

    Yes, the charges were later dropped.

    Alston charged with assault in New York stabbing
    Associated Press
    August 28, 2007

    NEW YORK -- Houston Rockets guard Rafer Alston was released without bail Tuesday after being charged with stabbing a man at a Manhattan nightspot -- his second brush with the law this month.

    Alston was arraigned on felony assault charges before being released without bail. A judge ordered him to return to court Jan. 3.

    His lawyer said Alston was "absolutely innocent."

    The man who said he was injured told police the incident occurred at about 3 a.m. Monday after he and Alston accidentally bumped each other inside Club Stereo. During an ensuing argument, the man said, Alston slashed his neck.

    The 41-year-old went to a hospital to be treated for a minor neck injury, then filed a complaint at a police precinct.

    Defense attorney Alberto Ebanks said bouncers and other witnesses told him the man didn't appear to be injured when he left the club and never bothered alerting police officers who were in the area.

    The arrest came three weeks after 31-year-old Alston was charged with misdemeanor assault and public intoxication in Houston.

    Alston was accused of grabbing a parking attendant's arm, shaking him and spitting on him after his vehicle was towed from a lot. The attendant said Alston parked illegally and didn't pay. Alston told a Houston television station that he didn't do anything to the attendant.

    The 6-foot-2 player out of Fresno State joined the NBA during the 1999-2000 season with Milwaukee. He signed with the Rockets in 2004 and averaged 13.3 points per game last season.

    Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said the team learned of Alston's arrest Tuesday morning.

    "Obviously, it is troubling that Rafer was again in a situation involving the police," Morey said in a statement. "We take these matters very seriously -- the Rockets expect all employees to represent the organization in a first-class manner. Until more facts are gathered from all parties, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further."

    Rafer Alston off hook in club feud
    By Jose Martinez
    March 1st 2008

    NBA player Rafer Alston has been cleared of charges that he stabbed a man in the neck outside a Chelsea nightclub.

    Manhattan prosecutors asked a judge Friday to drop assault and attempted assault charges against the Houston Rockets point guard, who was accused last August of slashing a man outside Stereo on W. 29th St.

    "While the victim suffered serious knife wounds, there are questions about when and where the victim was injured," said Barbara Thompson, a spokesman for the district attorney's office. "For that reason, the people are unable to prove the case against [Alston] beyond a reasonable doubt."

    Alston, an eight-year NBA veteran who graduated from Cardozo High School in Queens, had been accused of stabbing 41-year-old Wilbert Ashman with a knife following a dispute at the club.
