A welcome back note for Tracy McGrady
Tracy, I know at times it seems like we really dislike you here. That's not the case at all. You are an excellent basketball player... and we all know that. You also have the ability to do things that maybe 3-4 other players in the league can do (those players being named "Kobe", "LeBron", "Von...
Kobe for T-Mac? Yeah, I'd do it.
Question posed today in the Sports Guy's ESPN chat session (a/k/a - ways other than porn to distract yourself from doing real work during business hours):________________peter (chicago, IL): bill, what is your take on the kobe-lakers saga? who's side on you on? I don't believe you've ever addressed...
Game 18 - Bad title, worse game
The Rockets managed to lose on Saturday night to the Sacramento Kings, I wrote some notes while I was watching and planned on blogging about it right after the game. I didn’t, however, expect them to lose. I mean, the Kings were 5-10 coming into the game. I surely didn’t expect them to be 6-10...
"First one to fall down gets the call!"
Matt Bullard had the right idea. The only way to win tonight was to be the first player to fall down. Now, I know the Kings were on the wrong side of the worst officiated game of the last 20 years (Game 6 of 2002 Western Conference Finals versus Lakers), but tonight was almost as bad.There are...
The excuses are starting already
It's not a good sign when you lose the first game in a 7 game series and the local columnists are already writing obituaries for the Rockets AND some of the players. Seriously, guys, it's all of one game. There are 6 more to go!Today's headline? "Playoff flop? Alexander has McGrady's back" (yes, I...
State of the Union Address: Houston Rockets
Today, the morning of April 17, 2008, is a good day.We are officially in Playoff Mode. And the Houston Rockets are prime participants in this glorious adventure of basketball played at its highest level over the next 2 months. And Lee and I got everything we asked for when it comes to the playoffs....
Rockets/Clippers - the end of the road
The Rockets finish up a 5 game road swing tonight in Hollywood-land.So far the good guys are a disappointing 2-2 on this trip. A victory is much needed tonight to have a winning trip and also to maintain pace in the West (if playoffs started today, we'd still be in L.A. - facing the Kobes).I'm just...
Rockets/Hawks - the Best of Both Worlds!
Last night's game was not only our 20th (!?!?!!) win in a row... it was also the best of both worlds for me as I write today's recap. And no, I am not referring to Randal Graves' movie selections when I say "Best of Both Worlds." I promise.No - it's a twin killing, because not only did we win - and...
T-Mac has a selective memory
Sometime last week, I read in the Chronicle an article about Tracy McGrady being ready to answer the critics now that Yao is out. T-Mac gave Feigen all the right answers... and naturally the topic came to last year's playoff series against Utah.T-Mac before Game 7 last year: "It's on me."(no one...
We are here to stay - that means PLAYOFFS!
Hey, Stephen A. Smith... up yours, buddy!On SportsCenter last night, they put SAS on camera. For some unknown reason. Anyway, they asked him about the Rockets and the Yao situation. Considering how tough the West is, whether or not the Rockets can survive is a legitimate question today. That I...
