eddie, i ain't mad at ya!
it's ok i do it too.
and for those of you who haven't, stop trying to push your ill founded moral position on others. his personal life is just that, personal. just b/c you weren't independant enough to learn what it is like for yourself and were too busy just accepting the anti-weed propaganda that has been spoon fed to you, stop hatin'!!!!!!

you probably weren't kool enough for the kool kids to invite you to join them in high school.

eddie, keep your chin up... if you don't you're gonna spill the bong!

The Rockets have done a great job so far by putting themselves in position to make the playoffs. Now with just a few games left and favorable ones too, it's time to show they can finish it too. It's inexcusable for them not to go 4-1. Go Rockets! Don't let us down!

5-0 = A+
4-1 = Passing

anything else = summer school

What's wrong with Cato? His motivation is not there.
Sabonis so old, still does very well.

The current line-up out on the floor is terrible. Moochie needs to stop trying to be Stevie. Nuggets are on top of Phoenix in the first.

This latest Portland run is exactly why Griffin should start, even though Mo's outplaying him for the spot. What's our plan right now? Who's the focus of the offense? We run an inside out post up game with two guys as focus: Yao and Mo. They started together and it was a waste of Yao -- almost everything went through Mo. Now they're both on the bench and we've got two bad offensive players in the frontcourt. If Mean's gonna start Mo he should let Yao come off the bench. We've got too much offense on this first team and none on the second.

Mo or Yao should always be on the floor. Let Mo continue to play with Cato and Griffin with Yao -- and I don't care which combo starts.

The Guards(3) are reverting the Game into what we have been trying to get away from! When Yao Ming and Posey arnt playing. the game is so unexciting(flat) and difficult to watch.

What is the coach doing? There are only 5 games left. Everyone of our starting lineup can play 40+ minutes.

Someone help me out here.

My friends and I are watching the game and we're argueing over Rasheed's head. They are all saying that white spot on his head is a bald spot. I keep trying to tell them it's white hair, but they wont listen.

Please, help me prove my point.

Coach Smith is changing the game plan again. He should stick to what is working. Playing Yao first 8 minutes in the first quarter, last 8 minutes in the second quarter.

I don't get it, why does the Coach always want to change the game plan?

The coaching so far is disgusting. If we lost this game, it must be coaching.

I found one consistency in LS coaching i.e. "Whoever hot must come out". Why CM played 21 minutes despite he is 0-5?

Thats a good point. I agree with you. But Im still asking myself what does Yao have to do to get more playing time... Where in a life in death situation here as far as the playoffs go, so Yao and Francis should not be sitting on the bench so damn long. and Poseys going off, leaving him in the game instead of Mobley who was 0-5. These habitual sub patterns make no sense, have some spontaneity, if you lose a 10 point lead, put in the guys who got you the lead.. immedieatly! call a timeout, whatever. we dont have the luxury of resting our top dogs for 8,9,10 minutes!

On a positive note, the Nuggets have kept up with Phoenix at the end of 1, 24-24...

Meanwhile, the Portland PG's have been smoking us in the first...

We love you Eddie! In a platonic sort of way, ya know...
