    If we was in the east we wouldve been at least the four seed the last three years.

    Woulda, coulda, shoulda. They were in good position, then lost their balls and lost six straight games. Thats not a playoff team

    The Rockets are a sub par team that overachieved at first and then came back to reality. Don't really know why anyone would use them as any sort of measuring stick, but whatever. That team doesn't exist anymore, so I don't know why it's worth talking about.

    The Chronicle with 30 Lin articles in a few days when this signing is more important. Where are the updates? Oh well, I guess Less got what he wanted out of Lin before the first jump. Sigh.

    And if superman flies around the world fast enough he can reverse time. I can make pointless statements too. Knicks are in the east, Rockets are in the west. I'm pretty sure Stern would never let the team move anyway. He seems to really enjoy saying Ewwston Rockets on draft night

    The Chronicle wants to sell papers, go figure.

    Might want to look up how well the East finished in comparison to the West before you make these comments. Might also want to check if we actually would have made the playoffs in the East at the end of the season.

    You might want to consider how different our schedule would be if we were in the East before you make these comments :p

    So with Asik as our starter (considering we don't pursue Howard any further) do we use one of our current bigs to back him up or do yall see us pursuing someone else?

    We can't play the Bobcats every game of the year because we would be in the East.

    No, but I think it's a good bet that we would have won at least a couple more games if we played in the East.

    Is there rumor of a trade for Iguodala? Wouldn't mind seeing Birdman as a backup if he hasn't already been snatched up.
