I hope Gutz was watching that last play. Jazz had a three on nothing fast break. Derek Fisher gets his layup rejected by the front rim. Memo and Boozer collide and Memo can only to get a desperation toss up at the rim. I think Alston got the rebound and launched it the length of the floor to a cherry picking Yao who gives the Rockets their first lead (in the game I believe). If he was watching, Gutz was laughing his ass off at a me and a few others here.

BTW, I don't really get the media on this game. It was the first series locked into its matchup and everyone agreed initially that it would be a hard fought series and close. By tip off, all I heard was that the Jazz had no chance.

Milsap is a terrible name. I feel bad for the guy every game I watch the Jazz.

Rafer Alston is stealing money. Part of the problem with capitalism is that a guy like Alston made diddy shit doing some damn impressive things in And1 but makes enough for 5 life times playing like shit in the NBA.

If I could be one player, I might choose Tasty McGravy. Might. You know, as long as I didn't have to have that lazy eye. Memo's wife is hot though. That wouldn't be too bad.

LORD Walton is an idiot. McGrady rejects Harpring, the crowd errupts and Walton's comment, "Chuck Hayes, just sending it all back." Not only was the dude too busy blathering about some dumb shit that he wasn't paying attention to what was actually happening. But dude was so busy listening to himself that he didn't hear the crowd erupt to the extent that it pretty much told you it was T-mac making the play.

That, and I don't think I'd be cool having a girls name. Lets see if McGrady talks about being in the second round in the presser after tonights game.

Sloan looks like he's dying.

Utah can't win without AK47.
WTF happened to that dude this season?

I think this goes 7 games with the Rockets pulling it out.

Apparently, dude was crying while reporters were questioning the team the next day. I'm betting there some kind of personal situation fucking up his game.

WTF happened to that dude this season?
I found out a little -- NBA game summary didn't even mention it. He twisted his ankle after playing some great D and Utah had a 49-41 lead. A starter twists his ankle and sits out the rest of the game and it didn't make the recap. Bron Bron twists his ankle and all the Stern's horses are fighting to put Chosen1 together again.

I'd question that report. Sloan didn't say anything about an injury when he was asked why he took him out. Sloan said that the Rockets had stopped guarding AK all together and with the Jazz struggling to score in the third he had to get AK out and get a guy in that the Rockets at least had to respect.

Kiri also said the ankle was fine and he was waiting to go back in.

He said this in between the tears.

Ok, this is just fucked. The more I dig into this, the more I'm convinced that both Sloan and AK47 are on high-grade 100% crack.

ak47 is tanking it imo. The gm likes to call out his players in the media. bad move thats biting him back.

I dont get this whole thing. he is shooting better than his career average and still gets his 2 blocks and more than a steal a game with less minutes. I haven't seen him play very much this year, but it doesn't seem like he's out there sucking from the numbers.

If you haven't heard the "Yao Ming Song" yet, here you go:
-It0c6HKra0

I'm not so sure these are correct, for example the line referring to Chewbacca is missing.


Yao Ming Song

CHORUS:
Yao Ming, Yao Ming-Yao Ming-Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming
Yao Ming, Yao Ming-Yao Ming-Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming
Yao Ming, Yao Ming-Yao Ming-Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming
Yao Ming, Yao Ming-Yao Ming-Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming

Without the Dream no one thought we'd survive,
For too long we've been deprived.
The final piece of the puzzle has arrived,
The missing link of a championship drive.

CHORUS

Yao Ming bust on the scene with a bling-bling,
Dominating other teams, it's a Ming Thing.
Envisioning Houston's dream of a ring-ring,
Reinvigorating Clutch City, Yao Ming -- Scream!

CHORUS

haha, nice. watch the highlights and imagine if he had more than a 4 inch verticle.

Americans are weird.

Ric Bucher just reported on ESPN Radio that JVG is most likely out if the Rockets don't make the Western Finals, at least.

no surprise that the guy who skipped college and the product of a basketball assembly plant lost to a team featuring to guys out of winning college baskeball programs.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Honestly, neither teams have a chance against the Warriors so doesn't really matter

A Chinese invasion fleet has set sail for Planet Houston.

Haha, I'd just like to see a highlight film of all the goddamn crying that's occurred this season/postseason. Wade, Kirilenko, T-Mac...Jesus Christ, what happened to the days when it was all men in the NBA? When did everyone get all emo on us?

When Bill Laimbeer stopped preying on their emotional weaknesses. :)

Awesome! He's no longer Pistons Great Bill Laimbeer, he's Basketball Boogeyman Bill Laimbeer.
