I am definitely lowering my expectation for that game. That Sun team is a pretty descent bunch. I just hope they do not blow us out in front of national audience. A win will be a pleasant feel good story.
Dude, if the Rockets win, this board will collectively skeet itself. TMac will be proclaimed the greatest ever, Yao will be canonized as a warrior poet, and JVG will be uneasily regarded as an honest-to-God human being.
Sura was in the 97 (?) dunk contest with Ray Allen, Michael Finley, Kobe Bryant... I have to admit, I was skeptical of the signing at first. I was very leery of the fact that everyone on the BBS was crowning him the savior of the Rockets before he even played a game. But I'll eat my words: he's played under control, he hasn't played like he has nothing to play for; he's done anything and everything asked of him. One night he'll grab boards, another night steals, another night assists. I hate his FT% and 3pt% for a PG, but he's still a great addition to the team. (there's my crow)
