    Excellent ball movement tonight except when Mike James came in.

    I would feel like a 1st grader if I was an NBA player with a nickname like that.

    Looks like the Warriors got this one. The Rockets are still on the outside looking in after 50 games despite being 10 games over .500. The West, so deep.

    One final thought: What's up with ATL trying to defend Yao with Al Horford and Za Za Pachulia? 28 point in 30 minutes.

    What's wron with the nickname?

    Coca-Scola: Always the real thing
    or
    Coca Scola: Chock full of caffine and it shows.

    I think it's pretty original.

    Original and logical but unfortunately, childish and uncool.

    Doesn't really fit an NBA pro in my mind.

    kings couldn't get it done but they've beaten jazz and taken gsw to the brink. they're a dangerous team and not an automatic w as some are alluding to.

    Dang...childish and uncool? Now that was just mean. Could've said "left field" or "cheesy" or "sophmoric". Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Peace and goodnite all, my fiance is getting upset. :confused:

    Ellis is a little offensive juggernaut. He fits so well in GS playing for Nelson.

    Wow the Hawks sucked tonight. I turned off the game at half time so I didn't see the 2nd half. But nothing like getting outscored by 14 in the 4th quarter and STILL win by 19. :D

    Uh, no. T-Mac actually did a much better at shooting within the offense in the Minnesota game. Open looks = high percentage = working less, accomplishing more. That's kind of the wohle point of Adelman's offense.

    Finally, I don't know what planet you've been living on but T-Mac has some longstanding issues with shot selection. Kenny Smith criticized T-Mac's shot selection in the Cleveland game. Do you think that Smith wasn't watching the game? Doug Collins criticized T-Mac's shot selection in the Cleveland game. Do you think that Collins wasn't watching the game?

    For Christ's sake, Oscar Robertson--the freaking Big O--criticized T-Mac's shot selection last year. This is the Oscar Robertson we're talking about here.

    It looks to me like your T-Mac worship has blinded you to reality. I said that he had an excellent game, with the exception of crappy shot selection. Are you such a huge fan that you can't handle any criticism of the guy whatsoever?

    don't worry, with the western conference playoff picture being as tight as a virgin, there's no rush.

    if we take care of business we'll be fine.

    i said he has bad shot selection if u read my post earlier, like EVERY star player out there. yao has bad shot selection too but he makes them. that's why they're stars.

    i don't idolize tmac. but i can't take your words seriously when you take what barkley and kenny smith say seriously (or oscar robertson) when they see how many games of tracy? the highlights?

    u also said tmac can only make this team a "little bit" better so obviously u don't think too highly of what tracy can do. so let's agree to disagree.

    even though this is against a lowly hawks team, i think this is one of the best games we've played all season. all starters played really well, the offense looked very fluid and efficient, and concentration level of the entire team was truly high. i've no doubt in my mind that an outing like this will win us much more games than losing, even against the best teams.

    hope the team can go farther from here.

    its all good and well to have played well against a young team, but if the playoffs started today the rockets would be off fishing. For the rockets to make the playoffs going by percentages now the rockets would have to win 52 games, now looking at it like that, thats a crazy number to be getting into the playoffs. The rockets can do it but how long can some of these teams ahead of us keep this pace. Last year 52 wins got you 4th or 5th place.
