    He is fast becoming the new rockets killer, a lot of his shots against us are well contested or would at most warrant a C grade (NBA 2k13 lulzzz) rating and he always hits them.

    That and he blocks every shot ever.

    I'd say injuries have been the greatest Rockets killer.

    For perspective: It took a ridiculous career night from Batum, where he was single-handedly carrying his team through the third quarter offensively, and producing stops for them in the fourth, for the Rockets to barely lose.

    Feeling good about last night, not bad.

    jason terry and apparently Lillard, now, LA, still is as inconsistent at times, as he always has been, he's just better all around player now....Lillard or whatever, shi% He played even crazier than LA did at the end of 4th, and OT...

    in the 90's the Sonics had about 4 guys outside of Kemp and Payton....Schrimpf, Perkins, Mcmillin, and DALE MOTHERFUC&^N ELLIS! Knicks had Starks, but he was well, we all know he shot himself out of games...The Suns had KJ, and don't get me started on those hated 90's Jazz teams ugh...

    Dude fouled Asik, he smacked Omer's hands not the ball.

    But I agree, he is a very good player but ups his game for the Rockets, I suspect that he is salty we drafted him and then traded him to Portland where he is currently stuck because they matched the contract offer.

    That is the one team that made Hakeem look normal... That illegal defense they used would confuse the crap out of him.. Completely take him out of his game.

    No. I'm gonna have to go with Jason Terry, 90's Sonics, Jerry Sloan and the Jazz. Batum hasn't done anything to us YET. Wait until we face the Blazers in the playoffs or in an important game to clinch a playoff spot.
