Great win! I love our offensive aggressiveness and how we picked up our D. Lets keep this streak going and move up the playoff standings.
Yes, and if the game had turned out the other way around, they would have had a 10 minute feature on all that is great about LeBron, a 2 minute highlight package of his dunks and various showboating antics and a "NBA expert" get on and talk about how he is THE MVP of this year and how great he is. This is all book-ended by multiple showing of his ESPN commercial where he acts like a dumba** and can't realize that his chair got stolen.
Charles Barkley is comical at times for TNT, but he had no clue what he was talking about during the pre-game saying with the Alston trade the Rockets were 'packing it in' for the rest of the season. Are you kidding me? I'm guessing Barkley hasn't been following the NBA world too closely with the jail time coming down and everything concerning his DUI. I was listening to the game on 610 and watching the broadcast on TNT and Craig Ackerman said something very accurate. He basically said 'don't listen to what those national media heads are saying concerning the way the Cavs played tonight, the Rockets' defense has held them in check'. Good win for the Rockets tonight. 'How sweet it is!'.
3 words... YAO STUFFED LEBRON! Legit! Oh yeah after it was evident the Cavs were done, LeBron suddenly was "hurt".
I hope someone has the game on dvr. You'll never see the block on ESPN. They only show it when Yao gets his shot blocked by Nate Robinson, etc. I'm still waiting for the first comments from the wine head and his TNT sidekicks on anything about the blowout, especially the defensive tag team of Ron/Battier. Yao>13/15 from the field....The Chuckster will not mention any of it.. I'm just so glad to see Battier play like he is getting his legs back. What a game....
lol...NAIL ON THE HEAD. Noticed how someone said ESPN showed Lebron missing shots? That will be their key this game...and if Lebron has a good game tommorow against the Spurs(I really hope so! Go LeKing Krab!) they will say he rebounded from a off night. It's silly, someone was right though. If we were Boston they would have went on and on about how our defense was great.
Fantastic win! Yao playing 40 minutes is a bit of a concern though. Gotta keep him fresh, although we did need him for every single one of those minutes tonight.
