LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 Well the article from the Houston Chronicle said the Rockets may even want to re-sign him at the beginning of next year, they just need someone with more size with the run they are making now. I think he will land somewhere. Everything basically says he is a good kid and does what he is asked, he just doesn't have that fire that has let him progress.

TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 Great game in Phoenix. Shaq was dominant and the Suns D finally woke up. I still think the Suns are better with Shaq and games like today prove it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 I think my favorite part of the Suns game was when Duncan when to help up Shaq and he blew him off and waited for his team. Suns need some attitude on the court like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nogoodnick 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 Cool Bill Simmons article about NBA "What Ifs?". At the end of my Basketball Blog two weeks ago, I wrote about the chain of events that led to Kevin Garnett being traded to Boston. What if the T-Wolves hadn't betrayed KG by quietly shopping him before the 2007 draft? Would Garnett still be stuck in Minnesota? Would he have become the biggest target during the trading frenzy this winter? Did the KG deal create a domino effect that ended up changing the destiny of five 2008 contenders? Certainly, it's one of the NBA's great "What ifs?" of this decade? So where does it rank in the top 15? I'm glad I asked. Here's one man's list in reverse order Sports' two most intriguing words: What if? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MFer 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 Looks like Houston didn't get the memo that they were supposed to fade away into oblivion after Yao got hurt. Only the 4th team ever to win at least 19 straight and now they're only a game out of 1st in the West. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 Who would have thought that in March, the Suns and Mavs would be 6th and 7th in the West, respectively? Not only that, but Dallas is fourth in the Southwest division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 I think the best part of that whole Phoenix/Dallas slide is that if the playoffs began today the Spurs would play the Mavs in the first round and then the winner of that series would get the Rockets/Suns winner. The Lakers in theory would have the path of least resistance to the WCF, but even still we'd get Lakers/Warriors and Jazz/Hornets. If that ended up being the bracket the Spurs would probably have to beat the Mavs, Suns, Lakers and either Celtics or Pistons to finally get the repeat monkey off of their backs, and if they did I think that would cement them as THE post Jordan dynasty.

Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 Even after their 20 game winning streak (seriously, 20 games(!)... that's insane), I'm just not buying Houston in the post-season. Maybe they finally get out of round one, but I'm not sold on their ability to get much farther that that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 I think Houston can go very far -- like, to the Finals far -- because they're playing defence better than just about anyone. Their D right now means they have to be taken very seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 I know that it was bascially decided months ago that the MVP would come from the group of Paul, Kobe and Lebron, but Houston's recent tear (coinciding with Yao's injury) might have propelled Tracy McGrady firmly into the conversation. Not that I necessarily believe that he belongs there, but I can see momentum shifting his way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alfdogg 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 Yeah, I think we're starting to go a little overboard with this Rockets stuff. a 20-game win streak is remarkable under any circumstances, but I still think they're toast in the playoffs without Yao Ming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
