    Not really...like being one of the greatest pitchers or even one of the greatest QBs ever...you know those lists are usually very controversial, because those list are usually 15 to 22 players. It would be fair to say that he is one of the greatest ever, may not be top 5, but definitely top 10 to 20, possibly.

    I think it would be fair to say a QB, like Jim Kelly or Joe Namath are two of greatest QBs ever, but no way are they in top 5 to 8 all time.

    pretty classy comments from the fans on that site

    gotta say Blazers are a fun team to watch and I like Roy, Oden, even Nate a lot. Rockets are a huge matchup problem for Portland flat out.

    that said I think Portland will come out game 2 and push hard. This series will probably go 5 games. better luck next year

    I 100% agree, perhaps.

    Guys, i know alot of you are excited by last night lopsided win. But like other posters said is only 1 game. Yao may have gone 9-9 this game but he could go 4-16 next game.... :( :mad:

    I was just wondering, is there a team we dominate that Utah has problems with?

    Cleveland? San Antonio?

    I mean, we don't dominate them, but dominating is a very relative term in today's NBA.

    No if you are top 15 then you qualify. Patrick Ewing and David Robinson are both HOFers and both considered one of the great centers ever. Neither one was top 5. In fact some would argue (I STONGLY DISAGREE) that Hakeem wasn't top 5 of all time yet nobody will say Dream wasn't a top center of all time. Yao will probably finish around 9th best of all time if he stays healthy and the Rockets win some playoff series.

    Try IE, if you're a windows user. It didn't work for me in Firefox.

    Might be adblock plus if you have the add-on for firefox. I tried disabling that and got the video to appear.

    I can relate to that. There are other teams that are matchup nightmares for us, too (Jazz).

    This Rocket team! This Rocket team!? How much does a team have to change for it to not be 'this Rocket team' anymore? Go back to the Mavs series were we blew our lead and tell me how many faces on today's roster are the same.
