The Rockets should be thrilled and very proud of themselves. This is unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable.
FIRST PLACE IN THE WEST!
Rafer Alston saw what Jarvis Hayes did for the Pistons today and decided he could do better. Alston hit eight three pointers and scored a career-high 31 points today on the Lakers. The Rockets had a sluggish third quarter, but dominated the Lakers in the fourth quarter, notching the 104-92 victory.
Shane Battier was incredible on Kobe Bryant. Bryant scored 24 points on 11-33 shooting. Luis Scola continues his growth as a top rookie in the league adding 13 points and 11 rebounds, Bobby Jackson came off the bench to score 19 points.
Tracy McGrady didn’t score in the first half, but the Rockets still had a 15 point lead at the the half. McGrady finished with 11 points on only 4-16 shooting, yet the Rockets still get the victory.
*Pau Gasol did not play for the Lakers today, because of injury.
Once again the Rockets played a short handed top team, but at this point, it doesn’t matter. The Rockets are being gunned for, and they keep winning. The Rockets have pulled off the second best streak in league history, and Boston is coming to Houston on Tuesday. After Boston, the Rockets go on the road against the Hornets, Warriors and Suns. I assume the streak will be over during one of these games, but I’ve been wrong before.
Stay tuned NBA fans, we’re seeing history in the making and the Rockets are playing at a dominating level against every team in their path.
Jeff Van Gundy said this today, and now you have to take some serious consideration, where is Tracy McGrady on the MVP list? As of right now and this point, you might have to say he’s in the top three of four, and maybe higher. We all know who my MVP is, but in two weeks, let’s see who’s on top of the West, then we can talk. If the Rockets are on top of the West in two weeks, I’m going with McGrady.
Frank Caliendo is absolutely awesome! His impressions are always spot on and perfect. Here he is on Inside the NBA doing Charles Barkley and Bill Walton, both are incredible!! When I first heard this I couldn’t tell if it was Frank or Barkley for a minute or so. Watch this, enjoy this…
The Walton impression is at 6:20, it is 100% spot on, make that a priority.
Chris Paul put on another spectacular performance last night, blowing up for a huge 26 points and 17 assists against the Spurs last night. Oh, and the Hornets beat the Spurs by 25 points, 100-75. That is incredible!
The Hornets held the Spurs to just eight points in the fourth quarter, another impressive stat.
The Hornets are now 43-20, and David West and Bonzi Wells are both back on the court for them, which is vital for their success.
The Houston Rockets beat the Hawks 83-75 tonight after trailing 33-32 at the end of the first half. The Rockets have now won 20 games in a row, that is second all-time, tying the Milwaukee Bucks. They are absolutely rolling, guys like Chuck Hayes, Luis Scola, Shane Battier and more are doing whatever it takes to get the win and help out Tracy McGrady.
This team has one superstar active in McGrady, and a bunch of solid role players, they have a chance to possibly do something in the playoffs, but only time will tell.
This is incredible, 20 games in a row, I’ve never seen it before and odds are most of you haven’t seen it either.
Think about it this way:
The last time the Rockets lost was January 27 against Utah.
Before the winning streak, the Rockets were 24-20, only four games above .500
Portland is currently three games over .500 and they are the 10th seed in the West
The Rockets are now 44-20 and are the third seed in the West, and one game out of first.
That is a Manute Bol stat line for one game!! Manute Bol recorded 32 points, 29 rebounds and 31 blocks while in a game for Bridgeport, where he played his college ball. I don’t care if they were Division 45, that’s impressive. Manute will always be one of my favorite players of all-time, one of the most giving people in NBA history.
I expected this sooner or later, the Miami Heat announced Dwayne Wade will sit out the remainder of the season to rest injuries. This move is a great move for two reasons:
1. The Heat will continue to tank and hopefully get the first pick, in their best case scenario. Even with Wade, they’d probably tank. They honestly, can’t get any worse.
2. Wade has looked lifeless, undetermined and heartless a lot of this season, maybe he needs to rest, maybe he is really hurt.
After all of this and a summer to revamp their roster with a lot of cap room potentially, maybe we can see if Dwayne Wade is going to be the player we once thought he was, or if he’s going to be the next Vince Carter.
Sometimes you have to ask the Universe or your God to help you get ahead through the fog. But ask! No one can do everything by themselves.(via Twitter)19 hours ago
