    Did anybody see it?

    Who would of thought that Skip Bayless and Jemale Hill would make the most sense talking about the Rockets without McGrady situation?

    They pretty much nailed it outside of Jemale saying McGrady was the most overrated player in NBA history, you could probably find more overrated players.

    But basically they both said the Rockets are Contenders in the West. Skip said he disagreed with TNT on the Lowry/Rafer trade, he felt Rafer was not clutch(which is kind of funny that is when he is at best).

    Jemele said we have a punchers chance, and that it was hard for us to be consistent with players being in and out the lineup earlier. She also said Lowry was underrated.

    The end.

    That show should be called "Skip Bayless yells at random black person for 30 minutes"

    1st and ten love

    did anyone catch the 1st and ten crew?
    When ask if we should look at the rockets as contenders in the west:
    Skip
    "well lets see no Bynum in LA, Duncan Manu fighting injuries in SA, im not counting out the rockets right now!"

    O you guys will love this
    Skip
    "i was shocked last night at TNTs pregame when Charles and Kenny said Houston had given up when Tracy went down and taht they went ahead and dumped alston. And i think the opposite, i like this rockets team more in its mental toughness and its chemistry without Tracy and without Alston who i never trusted in the clutch. I'm not counting them out"

    chick
    "i gotta say they stole a really underrated piece in kyle Lowry"
    "I think Tracy is one of the most overrated player in the NBA"

    I was surprised skip was showing love but it sure seems like he took a page out of CC.NET

    wow, this does kinda seem like the summary of the show.

    Honestly, though...i dont enjoy skip...sometimes I think they only pay him to shine for the camera and argue.

    He's like the nancy grace of ESPN

    Stephen A. Smith used to host the opposite show.
    Bayless I hate... I don't care what he is saying I hate him.

    I hate when Stephen A. Smith is on that show. When a basketball topic comes up, in his own mind he's automatically right because he "knows" basketball. And it seems that the louder he gets, the more right he is.

    I's not hard to be right on this subject if you actually bother to watch any rockets games. Charles is a rockets hater it doesn't matter what we do that idiot is not gonna like us. Last year he himself said tracy doesn't make his teamates better and we wouldn't win with alston, now all of a sudden it's impossible to win without them. He should stick to commiting dui's and leave the the thinking to someone who still has a few brain cells left.

    did anyone see the episode with skip and Stephen A. They were both screaming at each other and veins were popping out, i thought punches will be thrown.

    At the end, skip looked hurt and SAS had a smug look on his face

    I remember last year Skip kept saying how he was telling everybody that Yao Ming was holding us back and we played much better without him.

    I hate you Skip.

    McGrady is overrated because he's got no maturity. He's got no concept of teamwork. He doesn't make his teammates better.

    That Weisbrod video needs to be on permanent sticky at the top of this page. Next year there's a good chance T-Mac will at least try to rejoin the Rockets and there needs to be a permanent reminder as to why he shouldn't be allowed to.

    You know, it seems obvious now, but I never noticed that it's always Skip and a black person. Stephen A, Jemelle, 2 Live Stus. I can't believe I never noticed. I'm like Stephen Colbert. I don't see color. :D

    lol I forgot about that. He kept saying the Rockets were more of a threat with Deke than Yao.


    I guess if Yao and T-mac sat out he would pick us to win the Championship. :eek: :eek:

    Skip says tons of stupid stuff. That's the only reason why he's still on TV, and he knows it.
