Rondo with 4 fouls in the first half. T.J. Ford is going to foul out the whole Celtic team before this game is over.

Hibbert's more athletic then I thought

Dre Miller can still get to the rim and finish against anyone.

Jason Kidd isn't what he was, but he is still a great player.

Ben Wallace is the worse free throw shooter of all time.

If LeBron makes left jump hooks from the post, then he'll have to be banned from the League for being too lethal a weapon.

Re: 11/1 Saturday Games Discussion

LeBron is sick.

That's all that really needs to be said. LeBron in the high post is just freaking sick.

Re: 11/1 Saturday Games Discussion

the Hornets are the most annoying team to play against in the NBA.

It's like watching your team die a slow death.

D-Rose lookin real good tonight with 26 pts, 6 rebs, 3 ast and shooting 11-20...this kid is getting better on a nightly basis.

Having watched parts of all their games, I think he's already their best player despite not really having a feel for the league yet. Only injury will derail him from being one of the elite players in the league within in 2 or 3 years.

I'm convinced that Indy having 2 days off, and Boston having a game last night had something to do with it.

Re: 11/1 Saturday Games Discussion

Rose with a terrific performance.

Gooden with a monster game.

Overall, great game after yesterday's disappointment. I said this last year and was hoping I wouldn't say it this year. Why did Paxson trade Aldridge for TT?

2/23 in the last two games? Seriously? I'll give him this, 5 blocks tonight was amazing but need to step it up on offense.

Re: 11/1 Saturday Games Discussion

Ugh Rockets with a ugly offensive game again. Alston needs to learn how to give Yao a entry pass, I swear if I kept stats on it he's completing those passes about 60% of the time. I think they were looking ahead to the C's...only excuse I can give them

Yao was getting doubled immediately when he touched the ball, and he'd make a nice pass out to Alston... CLANG. After a few more bricks, Alston wouldn't shoot it at all even if he was open, so they could double off of him.

Meanwhile, T-Mac is still getting torched on defense (see: Durant, Kevin).

Yao had an off night shooting the first three quarters.

Ron and T-Mac jacked up some bad shots.

That said...

3-0.

McGrady guarded Durant for the first three quarters before Artest took over in the fourth. Durant managed four points in the fourth.

"Sometimes you've got to treat Kevin Durant like he's Michael Jordan," Artest said. "You've got to treat every player like they're Jordan, play them hard."

Lol yeah Alston is extremely streaky. He's either really cold where he bricks everything...or really hot and he can't miss a shot if he tried.

Yeah Tmac did get torched, defensively he'll never be the same and he'll have a hard time keeping guys in front of him I feel. But Durant is going to be a really good player, his play is so silky smooth. Love that quote from Artest though. It's going to be fun seeing him and Paul go at it for sure.

Yeah at the end of the day 3-0, Celts lost a game to the Pacers so you can never take these wins for granted especially in the West. I hope people get there Early for the Tuesday game...only thing I can think about was the Celts coming into Houston last season...ending that streak...and Garnett did a nasty statement dunk it wasn't a good memory...

So you do live in Houston?

I took it from your name and avy that you might be another Chi-town OS Rockets fan.

Yeah Houston native. Yeah the name sounds like Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco. I thought at one point I really liked both of the artists...combined the names and thought it sounded good and didn't have to add any numbers like "Tmac3242" or something, I hate having numbers in my SN.
