Why isn't there one of these?

So the Houston Rockets have been doing really well on the road lately, despite some bad injuries. Once Ming comes back it should be pretty easy to make the playoffs.


The Pistons are on pace to win 70, which only the Bulls have done before. Probably won't make it but who knows?

"The" Ming, Menzies Campbell, or another, lesser known, Ming?

We need to know?

How tall does that make rah?

Yao

[Dis]

how's he doing lately? I never pay attention to the pros anymore (lack of talent and discipline)

He really doesn't put up that many ppg does he? True there can be good centers that don't have to put up as many points as shaq. But they better be getting the rebounds and blocked shots.

[Apocalypse]

He usually gets at least 20 points and 10 rebounds a game, even while double teamed. Getting double teamed is the big thing though. When both him and Tracy McGrady are on the floor, it really opens up the other players for wide open outside shots. Houston has a number of players that are very good at taking advantage of those opportunities, but with Yao out it is just much more difficult.

Deeeeeeeeee-Troit! Basketballlllllllllllllllllllllllllll!


They won't hit 70--the Central is too tough a division. My guess is 66 or 67.

Mavericks are doing well again but they just don't have enough to win it all

Suns hit 47 in the first quarter on Miami yesterday. That was pretty sick.

Spurs and Pistons have to be the favorites right now.
