I think you guys may be setting yourself up for disappointment in regards to Bonzi's defense... I'm biased, but I don't see how he's such an upgrade over Cat. I saw from league pass that a lot of Cat's bad habits showed up again last year with Orlando and Sacramento, but two years ago in...

I don't think anyone has the right to force people to donate. And it wouldn't exactly be appropriate to members of the New Orleans Saints and Hornets. Teams are doing what they can to help. Players are doing what they can to help. That's all you can ask...

UPDATE: Marc Berman had Kenny on Fox26 last night, and Kenny confirmed that the league and TNT have given the all-star charity game their blessings, and that it will be televised on TNT. I believe they said this will be announced in the afternoon today (either 3pm Central or 3pm Eastern, not...

For those interested, according to Fox26 News in Houston, T-Mac, Kobe, LeBron, and Wade will all be participating, among others. It's going to be a true all-star event.

I think you may be mistaking Eaton and Bradley's shotblocking prowess with their rebounding ability... Now Eaton did average a career high of 11.3rpg in 1985, but that was in 34.3 minutes per game, and for his career he averaged 7.9rpg. And keep in mind, that was in an era where teams had more...

I'm late. :) Not sure how this conversation became a discussion about Steve Nash, but whatever... Here's my take on Yao's contract, and really all things Rockets: First, if you think the Rockets should have just let Yao go and not ink him to a max extension, you're crazy. There are quite a...

What's a higher percentage shot, a dunk or a bank shot? Which is more likely to energize a crowd? Does being a prolific dunker prevent someone from being a team player? For what it's worth, there's no question in my mind that team defenses are much, much better now than they were in, say, the...

Ric Bucher's got some interesting opinions. He said on ESPNEWS the other day that he thought Pheonix had the best offseason in the NBA...

Care to elaborate? :confused:

Europe takes back seat Olajuwon will tell those same things to Yao Ming if their schedules ever mesh and they meet up in Houston. Olajuwon has not avoided helping the Rockets. Their big men simply were not in town over the summer. Then again, neither was Okafor when the telephone rang...

FROM ONE BIG MAN TO ANOTHER Dream school is in session One season into his NBA career, Emeka Okafor wants to elevate his game. Who better to help him than Hakeem Olajuwon? By FRAN BLINEBURY Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle The white SUV pulls smoothly into a parking spot, the driver's...

No, he's just pointing out that those were close to Swift's averages per 40 (closer to 19/9/3 over the past two seasons, actually). This is a peice by John Hollinger (who appears to have replaced Chad Ford at Insider), BTW, so obviously he's going to include some stat projections. For...

Anderson will have to compete with Wesley for starting SG, but if his body is right, he'll win out easily. He's had a few terrible seasons with a trainwreck of a Portland team, but the last time he was healthy he put up 13/4/3 playing both guard spots, so we're crossing our fingers and hoping...

UPDATE: According to Fox Sports, DA has agreed to terms with the Rockets and will sign next week. Hopesfully that will put an end to the Sprewell talks... I really did NOT want him in a Rockets uniform, personally.

Guys, hoopsworld is GARBAGE. Simply put, they lie. There's no deal done for Sprewell. In fact, the front office has turned its attention to Derek Anderson, who's expected to make a decision by monday.

Swift isn't as offensively inept as Kelvin Cato, nor as defensively and athletically challenged as Mo Taylor. Swift is not a star, and will never be a star, but he should be a good enough role player between Tmac and Yao. The position may even be ideal for him, he doesn't have to be a primary...

http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/sports/3171299 By FRANK ISOLA Copyright 2005 New York Daily News DALLAS — Jeff Van Gundy, never one to back down from a good fight, went after Avery Johnson today, one day after the Mavs coach said that Van Gundy only started complaining about the...

How 'bout if your players just stopped whining so much? You guys are almost as bad as the Rockets were the last couple years before shipping out Mobes and Stevie. Seriously, the officials call games differently if your players have a bad reputation of complaining to the refs. We saw that in...

As someone who's followed Cat's career since he was drafted, here's my take on the trade: I think you guys were a little bit silly to be questioning Cat's D... He was the Rockets' defensive-stopper last year (and keep in mind, we had a top 5-ranked D). Here are some of the stats of 2 guards...
