    You know, dunks are awesome and of course they are awesome to see, but seeing a 7'6 center take a step-back, fade-away, mid-range jumper is still more impressive to me :D

    Everytime Rafer clanked a wide open shot I giggled a little.

    We are actually 1-1 with both the Cavs and Celtics this year.

    Except from that 2 dunks, DH earned most of his 13 pts when the 49 yr old (who is still probabally better than most of the Eastern conferences' centers) defends him.

    wow. It must be his droopy eyes. They make him look at least 10 years older.

    yo Artest, thanks for making the game a little dramatic in the 3rd quarter. For a second there I thought that the team might actually lose.

    Yao had a surprisingly dominating performance. Surprising because we didn't force-feed Yao in the post, and yet he got 20 points and 16 rebounds, making 8 of 13 shots.

    Plus, he and the Rockets did a defensive number on Howard. Impressive.

    Glad to see Carl Landry back...our bench played very well tonight. Lowry, Wafer Landry...legit bench that can contribute in the playoffs. I still shudder at the playoff game where only 4 Rockets registered any points...

    Are we better off in the long run without Rafer? Yes. Is he a quality PG? Yes. He's shooting 40% with the Magic, and he manages the offense well, just like he did with us. Is he an elite PG? No, but we all know that. However, don't tell me that you NEVER liked Rafer as a Houston Rocket? Do you remember the win against LA last year that extended the streak to 22?

    Hornets
    Blazers
    Nuggets
    Dallas
    Spurs
    Utah
    Lakers

    What happens if Portland wins? Three way tie-break with 50-28 record each, who will be #3?
