    Charlotte gets Mo Williams for Gary Neal and a 2nd rounder.

    Is Neal a buyout candidate?

    Wade traveling to Cleveland for Wednesday's game.

    So it looks like he might play.

    Can we get in on that for a 2nd rounder? Cole to make it work?

    Wade says he's out tomorrow and will not play in all star Game either.

    But it certainly looks like he's good to go for the 21st.

    Whiteside on LeBron: "I don't guard him so I'll just meet him at the rim"

    How can anybody not love this guy?

    That's when the run begins. (crosses fingers)

    Time to see if the Wade-Bosh-Whiteside-Deng rotation results are just a statistical anomaly.

    That's what gives me hope that it's not just a statistical anomaly. It would make sense if Bosh, Wade, Whiteside and Deng on the floor together meant really good things both offensively and especially defensively. As you say, three All Stars and an efficient fourth.

    It's weird though that the unit was so much better with Cole as that 5th guy even if just for 12 minutes. If we're to assume that's not just pure noise, which it probably is...could you find a reason for that, if you had to?

    Sure. In that lineup, Cole would have next to ZERO latitude to shoot the ball, and would be playing at the only role he excels at....a defensive specialist.

    If they can stay healthy for any length of time. The way this season has gone, that seems like a long-shot.

    Chris Webber said Dragic is out here playing like he's auditioning for the Rockets, lol. I was thinking the exact same thing.

    Come back home, buddy. We need a pg really, really bad.

    On another note, Rockets are up 18 points after the 1st quarter. Where the hell was all this help for Harden when we played Portland on Monday??? 45 points, 9 rebs, 8 assists WASTED on a loss!

    How does Harden follow up Monday's performance of 45 points, 9 rebs, 8 assists?

    40 points, 12 rebs, 9 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block

    Absolute clinic. They gotta get this dude some damn help. He couldn't even sit down and take a break without all hell breaking lose.

    Barkley ripped into the Rockets last night and said they are NOT a contender.

    I have not looked at it yet...but Barkley is a grade A idiot and wouldn't know what a contender is if it bit him on the ***.

    So I will provide some answers:

    #12 in Off. Eff.
    #6 in Eff. FG%
    #7 in Def. Eff.
    #23 in Def. Reb. Rate
    #10 in Reb. Rate
    #1 in 3 pt. FG DIff.
    #8 in Pt. Diff.
    #9 in Eff. Diff.

    Overall....RIGHT NOW..no..not a Championship Contender. But those numbers are deceiving because D12 has missed so many games. He alone would help the Def. Eff., and Def. Reb. rate, as well as improve Off. Eff.

    My GUESS...is that they do fix those issues and are playing at a contenders level by April.

    SO yeah...Barkley remains an idiot.

    Barkley is a funny clown that people enjoy laughing at on tv, his actual basketball knowledge is limited and he's as dumb as a box of rocks.

    lol...damn, my fault. Internet went wild yesterday. Anyway.........yeah, Barkley is an idiot. He basically said records and stats don't mean anything. I guess we should just take his word for it. Rockets and Suns are the worst teams in basketball :up:. At the beginning of the year, he said the Rockets would be a lot worse than we were last year and we wouldn't make the playoffs. The man is clearly a genius.

    Well said. I agree, we have some work to do. We're sitting 3rd in the west, and we haven't even been playing good basketball yet (besides Harden). If mediocre play has gotten us this far, I can't wait to see what it looks like when it clicks.

    Dolph- errr...Heat take Whiteside out and the Cavs go on a 20 point run. Dolp-...Heat put Whiteside in and go on a 20 point run themselves.

    Getting pretty predictable at this point. Can practically calibrate a clock by it.
