    We lost but it has good and bad parts to it. Good: We see Hakeem is still performing consistently. Bad: We couldn't hold a double digit lead. Good: Great all around scoring by the starters. Bad: Defense against the PFs sucked. Good: We kept it close all the way through. Bad: We lost!!! GET THE BULLS!!!!!

    I couldn't agree more, great point. Dream has contributed consistently NON-STOP since he had the monster game to start this. Dream is definitely back, and that is great see! But after seeing this game, even though I think getting to the playoffs is a very strong possibility, getting Webber would just put us over the top and make us a a top 4 caliber team. The Rockets would easily replace the Kings and Suns as the 4th team wheel in the elite group, especially if we kept Mo as well. But back to this season, a tough 4 game road trip, the Rocks could easily go 3-1. They should have 2 wins in the bag, at Chicago and at Atlanta, but I think the Rocks can win in Dallas because the Rocks ALWAYS play them super tough, and they can win in Milwaukee because they are one of the only other team with winning records like us that play worse defense then us!

    Yeah, let's not get too discouraged. So we've gone 4 wins, 1 loss, 4 wins 1 loss. 80% clip. That would give us 50 wins this year.

    Well, specious arguments aside, we do have the Bulls next. I hope Cato has a huge game so that the Bulls say, "Man, we should've taken him when we had the chance," and take him off our hands in the off-season.

    I also forgot that free throws killed us as well.
