    remember we got our stats playing western conference teams like the Lakers and Trailblazers and the Celts got theirs playing weaker Eastern Conference teams.

    Great intangible, rockbox. This will be Boston's first game against a western conference team. All 5 of the Rockets losses have come against the western conference, making the Rockets 4-0 against the eastern conference.

    Advantage ROCKETS!

    I drank too much coffee and I'm kind of nervous. Quick play the game, I want to see the Rockets' record improve.

    It just goes to show how skewed our priorities are when Mo Taylor makes millions of dollars while some high school teacher, that can actually rebound, scrapes to make a living.

    If Mo were half the power forward that Charles Barkley was, he'd be 3'2" and still board more than he does now.

    Well don't we feel stupid...

    NOT. This should have been a Rox win. By just about all counts. Most of us expected the streak to go on for another game or two. Why didn't it?

    Judging from the Rox side, it should have. Even judging from the Celts side it should have. So what went wrong?

    Chance. Chaos. Entropy. Those would all be convenient answers.

    Truth is, you can't win a game when you shoot around 30%, unless you hold the other team to the same shooting %. The Rox shot sh*t. The Celts didn't totally bomb. It's that simple. Awful shooting gets you a loss, sure as the sun rises.

    Every once in a while every team shoots sh*t. Let's just hope this is one of those once-in-a-decade-type deals...
