    jake did his thing...although i thought he was about to pass out, out there.

    Anyone catch when jake got jvg's attention and coach said 'i cant hear you'...then jake motioned like he wanted to be taken out to catch his breathe. needless to say jvg kept him in another minutes or so.

    I have only been to one Rockets game this season...It was the first game against the Mavs, so I only know what amina means. Does anyone know how to say believe in Greek?

    His low block defense consisted of pulling his jock around his angle, getting out his camera, tying the laces on his cement shoes, ... Negated everything he did on the offensive end.

    If so, then the rest of the Rockets who played against Boston last night should be riding the pine with him. They certainly played no defense ... no offense, but no offense either.

    I look forward to the day JVG and Moneyball are gone. Let's get four greyhounds out there to score in the first 10 seconds like Dallas and Phoenix. Failing that we have Yao, Deke or Big Jake to take their time in getting set for the half-court game like Kareem in the Showtime days. Last night showed how pitiful we are without T-Mc and/or Yao Ming on the floor.

    Bonzi, Howard and Snyder showed they are keepers along with T-Mc and Yao. I say package Luther and Shane next summer for a young, quality PF and move Rafer to backup PG in favor of one who can shoot and get everyone involved. There! I know I'm in the minority in believing this, but I also know I'm not alone. Until then I know athletic teams like Atlanta, Boston, Portland, Phoenix, Dallas, etc. will have their way with us. Right, Big John?

    yeah, im sick of having a team that is in contention (when healthy). Ohh how i miss the francis days

    also, i actually think dallas takes a good % of their shots late in the shot clock. But i agree, if there is a formula for winning championships, the mavs and suns have them... :rolleyes:

    yes, i think his D needs to be improved. I at least twice saw the opponent cut through the baseline by him and make an easy layup .

    he does lack speed and his defense is a little weak.

    but i would have like for him to get the ball downlow. at times he was right under the basket and no one gave him the ball!!! Thats where deke is not good anymore.

    if jake plays with tmac, he will get a lot of easy baskets that deke cant convert. im not saying play him over deke, but he can get mutombo a much needed rest. and this was a good trade.

    Its a Greek kebab dish. Here's how Nico Nico's menu describes theirs:
    Chunks of beef on pita bread with tomato, onion and Tzatziki sauce

    I've seen it with chicken, lamb, or fish on other places.

    He's ok, but it was a good trade because we really needs insurance just in case Deke got injured.

    Luther, Battier and Rafer sucked big time.

    Especially in the clutch, 4th quarter.

    No shot whatsover, so once they stopped playing D, they were next to useless.

    KillBill should have been given minutes, especially with Tsakalidis in the game.

    Somebody needed to the spark at the end of that game, why not give VSpan an opportunity.

    Pisteva is past tense - I believed.

    PISTEVO (emphasis on the e - pistEvo) means I believe.

    Trust me on this one.

    Great game for Jake, seems he can become a serviceable backup at C.

    I say we do your trade for Dwight Howard. ;) We don't want to trade for another hustling young PF like Chuck Hayes, when we already got one. We need a difference maker. :D

    Thanx guys. :) I assume the vowels are the same as Spanish with the accent mark on the "E"

    Dear Fellow poster You need to learn to read! Because what you infered from my post makes no sense ! I was refering to next season !! If you comprehended what I was saying then you would have understood this and not jumped to your wild conclusions and insulting reply.
