Just in case you haven't seen this yet, Luis Scola makes me laugh.

Going to my happy place:

The soon-to-be 2009 NBA Champions will take on last year's Champions this Wednesday at the Toyota Center... I can only hope there isn't a repeat of this game:

T-Mac even said after the game it was the best defense he's ever seen.  Maybe the Rockets can use that as fuel and turn the tables on Boston using Ron Artest as the difference maker this time?

All I ask.......... just don't let Rajon Rondo get into your head, guys.

I guess I better find a way to get tickets to this game!!

Ryan over at Hoops Addict has another interesting idea/contest.  If you recall, our own Shane Battier won the inaugural "Floor Burns" tournament based on us flooding the voting after Jason Maxiell took an early lead...

Here's Ryan's new contest, in Ryan's words:

I'm running a promo with Hoop Skills where readers can win a DVD and vertical jump trainer by simply leaving a YouTube or Google Video link to their favourite dunk.

Now, I think we can certainly find the best Rockets-related dunk ever, right?

Off the very top of my head, I submit this one:

Any other suggestions?  Maybe this one??
