Parsons was great, 6-8 from three, Harden had strep throat, surprised he even played....Deng from the Bulls had a spinal tap, kind sucks when these allstars are ill. Props to okc for winning.

They play Memphis again, would surprise me if they are able to beat them.

I'll say it again, the youngest team in the NBA learned some valuable lessons about playoff basketball and McHale is a hell of a coach. I love how the players rally around him, arms on his shoulders during time outs.

Rockets need to die next 20 seasons. Les booted the Aeros out so death to rockets!!!

Rockets will be contenders next year. They need to improve their shooting down the stretch though. They gave a good fight, but I knew all along that OKC is just too much. In fact, OKC is already one up on the Grizzlies. That will be another fight though.

Pacers are serious. They're already one up on the Knicks!

Used to have season tickets when they were in the IHL. Those were some great games. The AHL not so much. Hockey games have plenty of chicks in attendance though. They absolutely love the fights.

Chicago Bulls, MotherFuckers.

Boy was i wrong about Darrell Moray at the start of the season.The Rockets need another super star and will be on top for awhile.

Bulls are tough no deng or rose

There's talk of Chris Paul and Dwight Howard coming to the Rockets. I'm not so sure about Howard. He seems to bring a lot of drama and sounds like he can be a cancer in the locker room. Not good for the NBA's youngest team. Asik averaged 10 points and 11 rebounds this year. He has time to become a better player and has a great coach to learn from.

"Team" is the key word. The success the Rockets had this year was due to how they grew as a team. Harden may be a legitimate star in the league but is still leading by example.
We definitely need an upgrade in the back court. Lin is not the answer. Way too many turnovers. Harden is turnover prone too but can probably reduce that especially with better point play and it's a little easier to swallow a few turnovers when he's giving you 25 points a night.

The only thing they like about Lin is he's Asian. Why they pu him back in last game I do not know.

The rocket will not pay Chris Paul big money

Super Head 713 · 05-08-2013, 10:05 AM

I have been missing alot of the season games because they dont get as good as the playoff games. everyone starts to work hard and begin to get very aggressive

Miami better figure out how to beat the Bulls today!

OKC has a hard road ahead of them. Them Grizzlies are hard to beat on the boards. I'd like OKC to take the series but if they keep losing in the paint the Grizz may take the series from them.

As I said before, GSW ain't ready for them Spurs. How you let a 16-point lead slip away and let two overtime periods happen is beyond me. They need more folks to step up besides Curry if they want to beat them. Spurs' team play is just too strong.

Guess the Pacers just want to go home. They simply gave up on the Knicks. Gonna be a little different in their house though.
