    i dont care about being politically correct.

    im not happy that westbrook as a person got hurt. but im very happy about the wonderful opportunity this presents the rockets if they are to capitalize.

    the end.

    Pretty impressive that he finished the game like that. And was moving laterally pretty well for a torn meniscus.

    Hope all is well with him. I hope Kevin Martin doesn't destroy us in the coming games, that would be a heart breaker.

    Quit crying nothing happened. Way too sensitive people. It was an accident and players do that stuff all the time.

    I know this is NBA-related, but we have two threads talking about the same thing and it impacts the Rockets series first. I'll merge the two.

    You don't think the league is aware of this? Perkins is going to be under severe scrutiny all game. If he gives a foul that's just a little hard he may end up with a flagrant. Referees have been known to over call stuff when a game nears getting of hand.

    He hustles harder than anyone and you predictably use it to attack him. Had it been Parsons, Delfino, Asik, etc you wouldn't have used it to insult him.

    those numbers are all wrong.

    Melo + JR average 56.8 PPG

    Wade + James average 48 PPG

    It's still going to be a major challenge to win tonight, let alone win the series.

    Uh oh. Ewing Theory. Every time a star goes down to injury the team rallies for a few games before. Their weaknesses are exposed. I doubt the Rockets will do any damage, but the series against the Nuggets will be very interesting.

    More than Perkins, Nick Collison is the guy I'd watch for. He has NO problem giving a hard foul, or sticking a knee into someone's leg.

    I'm legitimately sorry to hear this for Westbrook and Thunder fans. They'll still beat the Rockets, but their once astronomical expecations are suddenly much lower.

    wow. why do you have to bring Lin into this?

    any criticism of anything Beverly does means you are an LOF now?

    How about this?

    I don't think Beverly is a dead-eye 3pt shooter. Does that make me a hater?

    The YOF days were quite pleasant compared to this.

    Considering we play tomorrow night, it'll DEFINITELY be a challenge to win tonight.
