    Guys, I'm not trying to scalp tickets here, but something came up and I cannot attend today's game. I have three tickets for upper prom section 214 row m seats 8-10. I bought them for 31 bucks a piece. I'm willing to sell all three for 75 or best offer. Any takers?

    Yep not saying that Francis isn't one of the top 5 point guards in the league--he is. Didn't know other people have already talked at length about this. Sorry for the repetition.

    Rockets haven't scored 110 points all season... I don't think this team will ever be that high octane... but luckily the defense is pretty good.

    Looking at the bright side, we are becoming a pretty good rebounding team. For the last three games, we outrebounded

    Kings: 39-38
    Spurs: 53-36
    Hornets: 51-47

    These are all playoff bound teams. We have also collected 36 offensive rebounds in the last two games. It was quite impressive. Quite a turnaround from the beginning of the season. :)

    crash,

    as much as I love Kenny, and what a game slashing to the rim for all those dunks, but I don't like you lineup. My dream lineup is Kenny and Mo together. If Rudy settles on your lineup, that only means that Mo can't play well anymore, imo. We need Mo. With a healthy Mo, Kenny will finally be able lineup against SFs and blow them away, and our really nice zone will prevent the superstar fast SFs from mismatching him.

    anyhow, I still say that was Rudy's plan all along for the 4 logjam.

    We shoot much better at home, because Yao Ming needs his Mom's cooking. Haha.

    Wisdom from Moses Malone:

    On the differences between Philadelphia and Houston this season:

    Malone:The biggest difference is that they’ve got a 7-6 guy in the middle. Most of the times I see Houston play, they score 84, 90 points. But they got speed. I think Cuttino (Mobley) might be back this week, and he is another offensive strength. They got a lot of offensive players. But, you know, with Philly coming in here and just playing solid defense and keep everything below 80, they could win the ball game. But Yao Ming is big problem. He’s got a lot of skills, but I don’t see him playing on the floor too much…right now, this young guy, I think he’s got a lot of skill, he’s going to be a big part of the NBA.

    -Hall of Famer Moses Malone, a veteran of 21 ABA and NBA seasons, played for the Houston Rockets from 1976 to 1982 before being traded to the Philadelphia on Sept. 15, 1982. He helped lead the Sixers to the 1983 NBA championship. Malone is the fifth-leading rebounder and scorer in NBA history and was honored in 1996-97 as a member of the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. Among his many NBA accolades, Malone scored 27,409 points and grabbed 16,212 rebounds in his 19-year NBA career. He was the NBA Most Valuable Player in 1979, 1982 and 1983; was the NBA Finals MVP in 1983; and was a 12-time All-Star. Malone follows the Sixers and the Rockets on satellite and shared his thoughts on the teams.

    The Sixers are a veteran team, with a very good coach. On paper the Sixers may not look good, but their record says otherwise. The Rockets need to go inside, dominate the boards and limit the open looks by McKie, Snow and VanHorn. Allen Iverson will get his, we just need to limit his fg%.

    I'm too lazy to look it up, so don't hesitate to bash me if I'm wrong, but I think they scored 111 against... the Warriors... at home...:D

    Cat started in the game. He actually played pretty good.
    After getting an offensive call and a technical, he was taken out of the game.

    Ming and Frances only have 10 shot attempts between them (5 apiece) at the end of the first half. Can't get the game, what's up?
