The Houston Rockets Beat the Odds - ESPN

already posted.

 

That was a great article!

 

On that ESPN streak for Cash 98% of the people who voted, voted for the Cavs. That is awsome.

 

watching that play again from clutch's main page it's amazing how quick LeBron's initial spin move is.

Great article

 

So according to ESPN the Houston Rockets were the favorites to win.
And according to ESPN they also beat the odds.
That makes sense....

Awesome article. As a fan it is fascinating to see that when they say a player studies the game,they study it like a calculus final, methodical with attention to detail. On one of the chron bolgs I also read that players get like a 46 page scouting report before every game and while most players just glaze the cover, battier reads it all and studies it intently. This is good journalism...wink wink Richard Justice.

 

James is the best? I will take this year's Kobe from 8 of 10 times, but next year, Kobe is a year old, then would be different story.

 

wow, this is a real basketball analysis, not just because it is saying good things about rockets. When you back up your theory with reasoning and logic, it is always a good read.
thanks

 

Yeah I was mad at first until I started to realize he was doin it on purpose. Pretty awesome performance by ron, battier and yao. I've never seen lebron look so baffled before in my life.

 

Yeah the rockets defense boys have set an example other teams are sure to follow. They have set a standard in defending against one of the greats.

Weren't we one of the few teams to stop MJ from dominating all the time?

 

We did not such an example for other teams to follow, we they can try. Bottom line we have two of the best perimeter defenders in the league, not to much Ron is great in the post. Their defense compliments each other well, both have their own style.

 

Awesome insight. Thanks for posting this!

 

for rockets, it's Tmac and that jack up 3 point J.

 

cool analysis. If only they do that every single game.

 

that was a really interesting, in-depth, detailed article...i enjoyed 5 stars

 

Last night, on LeBron James' last play, this is what he couldn't do on Yao like what he did on Tim Duncan in this game at the start of the 2006-07 season.

I remember when I first saw that play, all I was wondering was will he try that on Yao at some time down the road?

 

Wow, a great article. Very interesting read particularly about Ron's defense as I have never considered him to be a methodical and disciplined defender but it appears that he is.
