When do we find out when Martin (and the others) will play? Saturday?

 

Well, someone has to!

 

Holy God.. I'm not saying Clyde and Bill are the best announcers in the world, but listening to that one high-pitched announcer go on and on about how "physical" the rockets were being with the Celtics.. wow. I would have to watch every single game on mute if I was a Boston fan.

 

What crap from the Celtics announcers. Walker shoved McGrady in the back, so he returned the favor, although it looked to me like Walker sold the foul with a flop. House must have said something nasty. Who cares? Man, it was good to see everyone on the court, instead of in street clothes. I didn't have any problem with Tracy's conduct. Looked like the Celtics were whining, the babies.

 

I cant believe we didnt get Walt Frazier, the name "Madison Square Garden, the chicken and rice truck on 53rd and 6th street, 1 championship trophy, and free cable/internet for the city of Houston!!!!!


TERRIBLE TRADE!

 

funny video

 

I think Morey got his parking ticket validated, however.

 

wow, you guys are being ridiculously optimistic in even suggesting we could land Bosh. If Yao had played this season, maybe. MAYBE. But I 100% guarantee you Bosh would never sign with Yao coming off an injury year lay off. C'mon now

 

For all the nonbelievers out there...

This has been his 'nickname' since his rookie year. It's been on his page since he was drafted.

wow i interested

 

Being a huge Kings fan I am sort of skeptical about this trade. I feel you guys got a great player. What is it about Carl Landry that is good? He is averaging 16 and 5 which is ok but not great. Can you guys fill me in a little bit since you have watched him a lot more then me.

 

hint
1) look at his minutes
2) watch him play

 

second highest scorer off the bench and second highest in scoring in 4th after lebron

 

I actually just heard that. Wow I didn't know that he was the 2nd highest scorer in the 4th quarter. Thats crazy! Just know that you guys have a great scorer now, he will get you easily 20 a night. It seems like the kings and rockets like dealing with each other with the artest trade now this. Best of luck to you guys in the playoffs.

 

lol yeah okay, I'll believe it when I see it

This guy is a PURE STUD, plain and simple!

 

We've presented why we think Houston would be an attractive destination to Bosh and other max players. You've only mentioned Yao's 1.5yr layoff as a deterrent. I can understand that there are some reservations concerning his health. But consider this: if Yao was 100% healthy for the past 2 seasons, the history and consequently the makeup of the team would probably be completely different. Bosh would not want to come because he would be 1B or 1.5 to Yao's 1A. This is precisely why Bosh doesn't want to go play "with" LeBron or Wade. In Houston, it presents Bosh with the unique opportunity where he is the clear-cut #1 while having enough support to contend for a championship. Realistically speaking, Bosh is not one of the top 5 players in the NBA. Therefore, he requires very good teammates in order to fulfill his dream of being the best player on a championship team. Athletes, especially the top ones, are driven by two things: 1) money, 2) winning/glory. In Houston, he is guaranteed criterion #1 and has one of the best chances at #2 as well. Since there is absolutely no guarantee that anybody or any team will win a championship, I can't see why Bosh would not take this proposition.

As for Yao and his injury woes... I personally think that having rested for over a year, he is actually in better position to stay healthy. Yao's injuries stem from wear and tear over the years. Sufficient rest and recuperation will probably help him just as much as his surgery.

So what if Yao is not healthy? I will indulge you.

If Yao's uncertainty was the only reason Bosh doesn't come to Houston, I dare say that management can assure Bosh that if Yao is not healthy in 2010-11, they will not resign him/or trade him to procure high caliber players of Bosh's liking. Do you doubt it? Look at what Morey did with McGrady's corpse, and imagine what he could get for Yao.

Any more questions?

 

This is the most anticipated game of the season. I can't wait!!!
