Celtics Shoot Down The Rockets
2008-03-19 05:40:00 All good things must come to an end. Winning streaks are meant to be broken. Yadda yadda yadda. Unfortunately for the Houston Rockets, the winner of 22 straight games, the best team in the Eastern Conference came to town looking to end that streak. And the Boston Celtics did just that as they beat the Rockets convincingly 94-74 at the Toyota Center to improve their record to an NBA-best 54-13. The win for the Celtics was also their 13th in their last 14 games. Houston had not lost since January 27 when the Jazz beat them. The Jazz were also the last team to beat the Celtics. Kevin Garnett continues to shine in Celtic green as he paced the Celtics with 22 points and 11 rebounds. Leon Powe was strong off the bench for the C’s as he had 21 points. Paul Pierce added 20 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. James Posey wiped the glass clean as he pulled down 10 rebounds.

Houston Rockets Extend Winning Streak to 22 Games
2008-03-18 00:02:00 Who has 2nd longest winning streak in NBA history? Was it by Jordan's Chicago Bulls in the 90's? Nah.Did Shaq and Kobe combined to make NBA history with the great Lakers teams at the beginning of the century? Nope!Maybe it was Magic's showtime Lakers back in the day? Not even close.It is a team lead by Tracy McGrady without the tallest and one of the best centers in the league, Yao Ming. Yeah, the Houston "haven't done anything since Hakeem" Rockets have won an unbelievable 22 games in a row!How are they doing this without Yao? Who knows? How are they doing this with a bunch of role players and Tracy McGrady? I don't know, but they could definitely teach the Lakers and Kobe Bryant a few things right now without Pau and Bynum.With the Rockets win over the struggling Lakers on Sunday Houston made history virtually coming out of nowhere. After all the blockbuster trades and an incredibly good and competitive Western Conference, some how, some way, the Rockets have quietly shocked ...

Houston Rockets at Dallas Mavericks
2008-03-07 07:15:00 NBA Betting Preview Current Odds: Mavericks - 1 , Total 184 Over/Under Thursday, 9:35 pm Eastern – TNT If Houston wins as expected at home on Wednesday against Indiana they will be coming into Dallas on a 16 game winning streak. That is where they streak may stop since the Mavericks have the second best home record in the NBA at 25-3.

Lakers Get Revenge with a Win Over the Houston Rockets
2007-11-15 08:31:00 On opening night, Lakers looked pretty good against Tracy McGrady (who went down in the first half with an elbow injury on Wednesday) and company getting the a substantial lead early with everyone contributing, but in classic Laker fashion, they lost the lead late and eventually were defeated by two points.Wednesday night was a different story all together though, the end of the game was still close because of a ridiculous foul by Jordan Farmer that put Yao Ming on the line, but the Lakers were still able to prevail 93-90 to improve to 4-3.Kobe Bryant came out hot in the first half scoring 18 points which is what he scored all of last night against the San Antonio Spurs, Bryant ended the game with 30 points, 8 rebounds (which is a stat he has really improved on), 5 assists and one amazing block on Yao Ming underneath the basket. Everyone else had a so-so night with Lamar Odom not really showing up offensively with only 10 points and Derek Fisher adding 13.If the Lakers keep playing ...

2007 NBA Predictions
2007-10-28 21:59:00 WestNorthwest1. Denver NuggetsA very talented team is poised to make a run at an NBA Championship. This team is ready to compete with San Antonio, Dallas, and Phoenix. Carmelo Anthony is one of the best scorers and players for that matter, in the NBA. If Marcus Camby and Kenyon Martin can stay healthy, I have a feeling they will be one of the best.2. Utah JazzDeron Williams is looking to be a great PG in this league and is surrounded with some pretty good talent. As long as Carlos Boozer stays healthy they should be a contender. But they also need more consistent play from Andrei Kirilenko.3. Portland Trail BlazersPortland is a very young team and should be playing for next year. With Greg Oden out, LaMarcus Aldridge will have to pick up the slack in the middle. Jarrett Jack is still an iffy point guard. Brandon Roy is a solid player, but I think they are another year away from being a good team.4. Seattle SupersonicsThey lost Rashard Lewis, their main scoring threat. It will be int...
