That is indicative of the low standards we have set for ourself. We were not supposed to beat the Shaqless Lakers that other teams are running all...
Upon painful and rigorous self-examination, I've decided that I was wrong to title the thread 'Hollow Victory'. I shoulda been more politically...
I fail to see the contradiction. If I was one of the ten or so teams who beat the Bulls during their 70+ win season, but still had an abysmal...
Hmmmm.... We beat them a few years back with Kobe and Shaq. Great! In the NBA, any team can beat another team on a given night. I'm not...
thanks Pip...sanity is now restored
Whole heartedly agreed!
I'm not a Lakers fan (if the question was addressed to me). I gotta admit they are the dominant team in the NBA. And I give Phil credit in the...
Old Man I try not to respond to personal attacks. I'm the biggest Rocket fan I've ever met. I'm not delusional about the team, though. Thanks
oK Crash I will defer to your memory of the game over my aging one. Once again, I am sorry if I fabricated something.

I'm glad to take the victory myself. Not much to celebrate though. With a healthy Shaq in the lineup, this could have been a 20 point Rocket loss.
I understand the excitement of Yao's breakout game, but excitement over eeking out a narrow victory over the Shaq-less Lakers doesn't fly. Like...
Two years seems like a painfully long time for the 'steal' of the draft to ride the bench. And it seems just as likely that Boki himself would be...
Yetti: That would be an ideal solution. But do we have any evidence that Boki can play the 2 spot. Certainly his basketball IQ would be higher...
Rice has 2 more years on his contract and there is no indication that Kenny is going anywhere.
At draft time and long before practice began, the Rocks probably had no idea that Hawkins would make the team or that TMo would demonstrate...
