    Next up Seattle that scored 150 in a double OT win vs the defenseless Nuggets.

    Head is ok as a bench player

    The problem is that T-Mac is unstable

    What do you mean? You mean that he only scored 13?

    If you watch the game you should know he really didn't have to. He didn't have to be agressive, he even didn't have to spend that many minutes on the floor. We just got control at the beggining and we just took care of that game.

    I hope your name isn't related to your view on the rockets or the players. T-mac's unstableness would be either passing or shooting. I don't mind which one, cause either way we come out with a win.

    Kobe and Lebron aren't exactly that consistent either. As for lebron, "winning" isn't very consistent. But at least the rockets are winning consistently, so who cares if T-mac ain't playing well, if he flows with the offense, he doesn't need to be the offense.

    Nothing you do worries me.

    Talk all the smack you want. It's pretty amusing, actually. Kind of like watching Head trying to finish a fast break.

    First of all, Tracy was shooting the ball horrible, he wasn't agressive but you have to admit he nad 8 rebs and 9 asist.

    And that's what is great about Houston this year. Tracy is the leader but that doesn't mean he has to score 30 pts every single game to give Rockets a win, he can for example make 9 dishes.

    Af for Cleveland LeBron HAS TO score 25+ points a game if Cavs even want to think about victory.

    That's the difference

    Finally someone backs me up. The reason we blew the clippers out was because there was such an even distribution in scoring. We saw alot of this during the streak and i dont know if anybody else really saw how tmac was helping out there. Hes hurting but he continues to give his team confidence and almost none of our victories would be possible w.o him. Rafer is not a good point gaurd nor is he a good shooter. Brooks showed incredible decision making combined witih agility and good shot selection, lets hope he can keep it up. Rafer has had some good games but thats that, and i doubt he got a "hamstring" injury during practice the following day he lost us a game due to his horrendous decision making. I dont know, but if i was adelman i would just tell him to stay away, BJAX is doing way better starting anyways. :eek:

    Did you know that Denver has the 10th best defense in the league this year? There offense struggles more.

    PPG is not the proper stat to gauge denfense or offense. It doesnt take into considertion pace. What you need to look at is points allowed per 100 possesions for defense. Which Hollinger has for you here: http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/teamstats?sort=defeff&league=nba

    Denver is an underrated defensive team statistically, but they look so so bad if you watch them. The reason is because they are coached by George Karl, who would rather play passing lanes than man-D. So they go for it every time, and many times they are gonna miss badly and leave someone wide open for a jam or uncontested three.

    If you remember the Gary Payton Shawn Kemp Sonics, then you know this defense can work and can be dangerous. However, on a team full of lazy overpaid overhyped slouches like Denver's (I like Iverson but he still doesn't play great defense) it's not going to get the job done like it should.
