My point is that I disagree with your assumption that he is the reason Yao has not been getting the ball. What do you propose he do? Suddenly learn to pass a lob? Suddenly grow a few inches?

My point, dude, is that everyone can see that our guard play has been spotty at best, and if they could get the ball to Yao they would do that. Adelman understands the issue and I'm sure they are doing their best to correct it. We may just have to accept the fact that Yao will again be marginalized.

Do you think we should play Lowry more? Do you think that would help? Or run Barry at the point? What's your recommendation?

it takes a talent to get the ball inside when faced with specific defenses.

yes, lowery should play more as he can make the pass.

brooks can't do it

My take on Kobe and the real champions.. the ROCKETS!

The Difference Between a Champion and a.. Well, a Kobe
Share
Yesterday at 3:45pm | Edit Note | Delete
What is a champion? Is it simply the person that's left standing when the dust settles? Or is there something more to a champion?

Besides the winning and other quantifiable measures of being a champion, there is the humility, the strength, the ability, and the wisdom. Being a true champion entails not just excelling at what you do, but excelling in a way which inspires. A champion uses his mind to overcome obstacles--he digs deeper than imaginable, and musters up the strength and courage to do what is unthinkable. A champion should be the epitome of a human being, inspiring greatness onto others. A champion should be courageous in his path, able to admit failure, pick himself up, and use wisdom and perseverance to try again.

Kobe Bryant will never be a "champion" in my book. His pettiness on the court is just that, petty. He resorts to outright thuggery. He takes cheap shots when he thinks no one is looking. And worst of all, he plays only for the glory of himself, inspiring others only as a means to an end. He struts pompously about the court with a sense of entitlement, complaining when things do not go his way. When he speaks, it seems as if he expects a championship to be handed to him, while the present is just a way for him to add drama to his fabled story. He shows absolutely no class, and portrays a sense that he expects his opponents to lie down and crumble for him.

Well, Mr. Kobe, I've got news for you. The Houston Rockets, true champions in my book, will not succumb to your thuggery. We may not physically fight back after your cheap elbows, but we will get up stronger and with more determination to succeed. We will not tolerate your miscreant acts, and we will come together as a team, as champions, to wake you from your dreams of a storybook ending.

Kobe Bryant--he may be good on the court, but a real champion shows class and defeats his opponent with ability and wisdom, not thuggery. A real champion respects his opponent and does not look down on him. A real champion must also conquer something Kobe Bryant has not: the becoming of a virtuous human being.

i love the rockets and i want them to win and all. but kobe is a champion. and the great ones have always had that dirty dog in them. killer instinct and the will to win regardless of what it takes. jordan WAS like that regardless of what the fans think of him. he was a dirty b*stard that would take out one of your eyes to win. same with majic, bird, all of the greats. when you really talk to people in the know about them they say the same things...win at all costs...competitor.

like i said i love the rockets and would love to see them advance but kobe is what he is...a GREAT player...and if he played for the Rockets you would be loving what he is doing right now.

Jamal and Avery said the key for us is getting the ball to Yao and stop turning the ball over a.k.a ball control. We've had 18 turnovers in Game 1 and 20 in Game 2. That's a lot.

I know this doesn't sound very classy, but I hope the Rockets don't shake hands with the Lakers before the game.

I'm living in Melbourne.

I've got a good group of guys coming down tonight, some of them rocket faithfuls, others are just there to see the lakers lose. We're all wearing red, so we're like the red rowdies from down under!
