RIP Jason Terry
That's what I would do. I would dunk over a dude half my size with authority, catching him out of position on a three-on-one play, then stare him down. I love how LeBron is becoming a real man now. He's like Will Ferrell in that video, except when Ferrell knocks down a little kid & stares him down, he's kidding(I think). :lol:

On unrelated note: Blazers scored 8 points in the second quarter against the Bucks last night. Milwaukee Bucks.
 
Wow Miami almost blew their win streak against the Cavs and they didn't even have Irving or Waiters, they were down by like 27 at one point but then LeBron took over the game.

Except Terry had it coming, he's a bit of a dog with some of his on court antics. Besides, who doesn't love seeing someone (anyone) get pwned on a dunk?:lol:
 
Oh, Terry is an idiot. Anyone who does what James did on the court is also an idiot. I used to play a lot of ball(never organized), when some idiot posterize a defender so much smaller than he is, even his teammates congratulated them with sarcasm, and we aren't even talking about catching the defender out of position. Finally, the stare down, that one is a borderline retarded move. I don't care if you were my favorite player, I would be embarrassed for any player staring down after that play. It's blatantly clear that his I.Q. is not where his basketball I.Q. is. :dunce:

P.S. I got close to getting posterized once. This guy was running at the rim, full speed & straight on. He had just posterized my friend who is about same size as me(just over 6-ft w/basketball shoes on), so he came at me, too.

I held my position, drawing a charge. Problem is, he was up so high by the time he reached me, I ended up sort of undercutting him(I was still), he flips over in mid-air, ending up rolling & moaning on the floor, in fetal position. Dude is 6'5", probably weighed 240, or more. I was scared that he broke his back or something at the time(might've, he's got back problems :scared:), but I'm not gonna lie, I smile every time I think about getting almost posterized. :P

Down by 27!? Pathetic, Cavs! Pathetic. Cavs snapping the streak would've been something to see. :lol:
 
Enjoy your NBA hoops even with March Madness going on. My Rockets will host the Cleveland Cavaliers. Good luck to your team(s) if playing tonight.
 
We hammered the Cavaliers last night 116-78, but the real story was Washington doing the Rockets a hell of a favor. They beat the Lakers 103-100 in Los Angeles last night. Oh... and the Heat won again. Streak continues.

Haha I watched the last minute of that game, kobe misses a stepback from mid yet he makes a double team contested 3 then misses an off the dribble fadeway 3 :lol:
 
Big fight atmosphere here in Houston. After 12 rounds of Hell (or just four quarters), we managed to avoid getting swept by the Spurs with a 96-95 victory. Foul trouble on the Rockets (especially on D-Mo) was a factor. Still, we managed to man up and pull out a victory even as we led by seven heading into the fourth quarter. This is going to be a tough week for the Rockets. I'm going to learn a lot more about what kind of team we have with some of the other opponents left to close out this week. The Rockets can rest until Wednesday.


Miami's winning streak was extended to 26 with a victory over the Bobcats at home. It will be interesting to see what happens if the Heat remain unbeaten until a team called the San Antonio Spurs come calling.
 
How do you suppress the Denver Nuggets? Swarm some Hornets on them. Or maybe have a flock of Pelicans play with their brains. Win #16 in a row is denied in New Orleans. It was 110-86 in favor of Stavingo's Hornets/Pelicans. Anyhow... DOWN GOES THE DENVER NUGGETS!

Miami kept on rolling as the Miami Heat beat the El Magic in Orlando. The winning streak for Miami was extended to 27 after tonight's match. Miami won 108-94. Up next on this road trip for the Heat: at the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday (the Omnis vs. sumbrownkid special), at the Indiana Pacers on Friday, and at the Spurs on Easter Sunday.


Here are a few scores I want to make mention of...

* 100-94 was how much the Indiana Pacers won at home over the visiting Atlanta Hawks.

* It was 107-94 in Washington, D.C. as the Wizards took down the Memphis Grizzlies. John Wall lost his marbles in this game- hanging 47 points on the Grizz.


Congratulations to the eventual winners of Philadelphia at Utah and Los Angeles Lakers at Golden State.
 
Three games tonight, two on as part of the NBA on TNT, and one awesome Tuesday night of NBA basketball. Here's the schedule:

* New York Knicks at Boston Celtics (NBA on TNT)
* Minnesota Timberwolves at Detroit Pistons
* Los Angeles Clippers at Dallas Mavericks (NBA on TNT)

So uh, yeah. Enjoy some NBA hoops tonight.
 
My Mavs are close to being able to compete for the 8th seed. Problem is they go up against the Pacers, Bulls, Lakers, & Nuggets in the next 4 games & the remaining games are a mix of tough teams.

I'm not going to get any hopes up for a Playoffs appearance, but in the rare chance something happens, I'll buy a ticket to the 2nd home game if they make it.
 
Flag-to-flag victory for the Indiana Pacers. They came into our house and beat us 100-91. Doesn't get any tougher. We start a back-to-back at Memphis on Friday and back home against the L.A. Clippers the following night. Rockets were just off. Sad enough, Craig Ackerman (the voice of the Houston Rockets) wasn't calling the game because his parents were killed in a car crash here in the Houston area last night. So the Rockets had one tragedy followed by the Rockets themselves enduring a tragedy at the hands of the Indiana Pacers. Rockets may basically have to sweep this upcoming back-to-back to maintain or better their playoff chances. Otherwise, they'll have to be content trying to stay among the Top 8 in the Western Conference.

That concludes the sad tale for my team.


Elsewhere...

* DOWN GOES THE MIAMI HEAT!
In Chicago, the Bulls celebrated like they won their seventh NBA championship as they shut down the Miami Heat's 27-game winning streak with a 101-97 victory. And you know what they say- the bigger they are, the harder they fall. The Heat fell hard. The Heat didn't even shake hands with the Bulls. Jeff Van Gundy thought that was a good thing since the game was so competitive.

* 93-92 was the score in Cleveland as the Boston Celtics snapped their 5-game losing streak.

* The Memphis Grizzlies lost at the New York Knicks 108-100.

* The Los Angeles Lakers went into Minneapolis and beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 120-117. The Lakers have to feel good knowing my Rockets lost while LAL picked up the win.

* Atlanta clinched a playoff berth by winning 107-88 at the Toronto Raptors. The game was tied at 75 at the end of the 3rd Quarter.

* It was 103-80 as the Oklahoma City Thunder hammered the Washington Wizards. Easy money for OKC.

* In the battle of sorry-ass Eastern Conference teams, it was the Charlotte Bobcats who won in Charlotte hosting the Orlando Magic.

* The Milwaukee Bucks fell short in Philadelphia 100-92. The 76ers picked up a nice little win here.

* 105-91 was how much the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Hornets/Pelicans in New Orleans.


Congratulations to all other winners.

Where's Omnis? I want to gloat history now.

And a6 tell the Trail Blazers that the Chicago Bulls with missing men have beaten a full strength Miami Heat.

The least they can do is beat the Nets to help our cause.

And lol at Lebron complaining about hard fouls.

Son watch the Pistons of the late 80s.

Back-to-back not starting well at all. Back-to-back fails for the Rockets as we lost 103-94 in Memphis. That's now five straight losses at the Grizzlies. It's f:censored:ing unacceptable to lose on the road to conference opponents and division opponents. Our record is brutal in this department. Up next... back home to host the Los Angeles Clippers. I can only hope the Rockets can get it together before they find themselves swooning from qualifying for the playoffs.

Speaking of which, I hear the Playoffs start April 21st... or at least according to a TBS or a TNT commercial. Your team(s) better get their act together before then if they want to make the postseason (granted a team is still in playoff contention).
 
Celtics need to keep it together. Jeff Green needs to play like how he did against the Heat. 43 mothertrucking points! Paul Peirce is only getting older and needs to get this team a championship before he retires. Alex Terry is more of a defensive PG. And the Lakers should've let go of Dwight Howard and Steve Nash. They're not doing any good for the team. To put the cherry on top, the Lakers rejected Phil Jackson's request to coach them. I mean c'mon! The 1971-1972 Lakers which he coached had the longest winning streak in NBA history. And the Heat was on fire! You see what I did there... :sly:

The Heat could've won if Lebron didn't lose his cool and Bosh could use his preying mantis arms to hold on to the freaking ball.

Turrible defense and unreliable 3-point shooting. Oh well. Not every team can have Wilt Chamberlain dominating the scrublike opposition with his two-foot willy.

Still came back strong against the Proto-Pelicans. What did they work on yesterday? You guessed it! Three-point shooting:



I still think Greg Oden should try out next year once he gets healthy. We need a big thick man (pause) to switch things up when small ball stops working. Chris Andersen is useless when he has an off night.

As far as the Lakers go.... they are the product of Kobe and Shaq. Plain and simple. Kobe could carry the team but once he retires, the Lakers are gonna be sucking the Clippers' wind.

My Rockets will host the Clippers later tonight, but I was saddened when Chicago ultimately lost at Dallas. DAL losing would be a HUGE favor for Houston. Nuh-uh... didn't happen. Dang!
 
Clippers, uh... got clipped. Again. San Antonio beat the Clip Joint close last night in San Antonio while my Houston boys put a 98-81 hit on the Clippers here in H-Town. And the best thing? We did it without James Harden, who was suffering from a sore right foot). It was a 55-50 lead in favor of the Rockets at the half. Afterwards, it was just Beast Mode for the Rockets in the 2nd Half as they just (to use racing terms) won on a holeshot. The Voice of the Houston Rockets- Craig Ackerman, returned to the radio broadcasting position and offering personal commentary talking about how tough it is coming back to announcing after suffering a tragedy as he endured. So this is pretty much a good night for the Rockets. As for Houston, they avoided a season sweep. LAC's five-game winning streak over the Rockets was snapped with this Rockets victory.


Congratulations to all other winners from today's games and tonight's games.
 
Happy Easter! With my Rockets not playing today, let me try to spark some discussion. Which do you prefer:

* the Sacramento Kings staying in Sacramento
* the Sacramento Kings moving to Seattle
* an expansion team in Seattle

I think if you have the Kings stay in Sacramento and you're trying to get a franchise to return in Seattle, you have to get something done. And if you have one odd team in Seattle, I would probably want to see maybe another Eastern Conference team start up. I used to wonder why the NBA had 30 teams. You got 30 teams- two conferences, each with three divisions, and each with five teams. VERY even balance. So it would be weird to tack on one or two more teams to mess up the balance a bit. Think about recently in Major League Baseball- which also has 30 teams across two leagues with five teams in each division. My Houston Astros went from the NL Central to the AL West to even out the alignment there.


So while a deal is in place to keep the Kings in Sacramento, what would you want to see as the future of the Kings? And what about the future of the NBA in Seattle?
 
With Golden State idle tonight, it was a chance for my Rockets to sneak into 6th and help their playoff cause. Well, we did just that against the Orlando Magic, as we won 111-103. The Rockets led by as many as 25 against the sorry-ass Magic. This is pro sports- you don't have to win pretty to make the postseason. A win is a win, and we got a nice one. Up next for the Rockets is a three-game western road trip: at Sacramento on Wednesday, and then a back-to-back starting at Portland on Friday and at Denver on Saturday. The big man tonight for HOU was Mr. Omer Asik. He put in 22 points and 18 rebounds.


Outside of Rockets' talk, do you really believe that Kobe Bryant will actually retire after next season? For all I know, he may just pull a Brett Favre in his retirement. Maybe he'll retire for good. Maybe he'll retire-but-not-really-retire retire. What do you think?
 
I think Kobe will retire maybe within two seasons if Dwight doesn't stay.

If Dwight stays then I think he'll keep going until he gets that 6th championship :lol:
 
The Sacramento Kings are not going to the playoffs. The Rockets, meanwhile are trying to help their playoff cause all the further. Those Kings just wouldn't go away. And so, we won 112-102 (HOU led 59-55 at the half). That's 42 wins for the Rockets now. This COULD be the Rockets' final ever game in Sacramento if the Kings franchise moves up to Seattle. All we can do is win the games in front of us between Sacramento and our season finale at the Lakers. Up next is a brutal back-to-back: at Portland on Friday night and at Denver on Saturday night. Two tough places to play. I'll be happy if we win at least one of our upcoming matches to round out this road trip.

Kobe retiring has more to do with how he feels his body is holding up & how the team does, and possibly if he has to take a huge pay cut to remain with the team (they're going to be in the hole to the tune of a $189 million with the current roster). Like the Knicks, they could afford that considering the billion dollar deal for a TV network, but chances are they don't want to.

Yeah it's all about the conditioning of his body in his late 30's, but damn the game is gonna be so much different once he retires :(
