Heat @ Raptors GAMEDAY
Dwyane Wade: American Hero The Heat will kick off their big weekend back-to-back tonight as they travel north of the border to face the Toronto Raptors. Toronto is coming off of a very tough 3-game road trip ‘loss fest’ that took them through Phoenix, Dallas and Houston. ...
Wade vs. Lebron: Round 3 Goes To King James
OK guys…lets not panic. Cleveland is the best team in the Eastern Conference right now and we play them much better then Boston or Orlando. It’s a better match up for us, and should make for an amazingly exciting 2nd round playoff series. But now I’m getting ahead of...
Assigned Reading: The No-Stats All-Star
Because I appreciate what Shane Battier did at Duke and Michael Lewis is a great feature writer. This NY Times Magazine piece that ran over the weekend is not just an exploration in Battier's rise from middle school prodigy to unwavering NBA forward, it sheds light on the value Houston Rockets...
Gameday: Houston Rockets (22-15) Tipoff 7pm
Hopefully the Thunder used the Day off to gather themselves back together after that dreadfully awful performance in Minnesota on Wednesday. They definitely don't have time to be fooling around either as the Houston Rockets come to the Ford Center tonight. The Rockets were on a bit of a skid...
How to Take Care of Business...Courtesy of the Spurs
Stop me when this sounds familiar. Kobe Bryant, down by one, hits a long three-pointer to give his team the lead with little time remaining. All the Lakers have to do is get a stop on defense and the game is theirs. Sounds kind of like what happened Tuesday night in Houston, doesn't it? And in...

Only Eight Teams Can Win the NBA Title in 2008-09
Before this season, visitors to this site voted on which NBA teams would make the playoffs. I hypothesized that basketball fans would correctly guess 14 of the 16 playoff teams, just from knowing which players are on the team.That's the first major hypothesis I've proposed on this site, and we'll...
Recap: Rockets 96 - Knicks 76
Photo courtesy NY Times Quick Hits Recap Summary: No Ron Artest, no Tracy McGrady...(get ready for it)...no problem. The Rockets finally took care of business against a weaker opponent, and in this rare case, it was the poor-shooting Knicks. Up until the third quarter, it was a close...
Ugly Raptors Loss Brings Up Old Effortless Memories
There's no way around it: last night's performance was terrible. We were waving white flags the minute we stepped onto the court. We were soft. Aside from Von Wafer, who I will get to later, there wasn't any effort, any intensity, or any focus on trying to win. It was baffling to see a team...
Competition Discussion: Houston Rockets
The season is still a few weeks away, but most of the rosters are set, barring the requisite Michael Jordan comeback rumor (just kidding, but only a little). We have an idea where our team stands, but we can't really know unless we discuss everyone else. In that spirit, I'm going to throw up a...
