Thoughts about the Artest-Ariza swapout
So Ron Artest is gone and Trevor Ariza is coming to Houston. I’m okay with that. Ariza reminds me of a more athletic Robert Horry, and we all know how he helped the Rockets win a couple of rings. Both have shown they can hit big shots in the clutch, something the Rockets have [...]

Deconstructing Bad Writing: Krolik's Slam Job on Kobe Bryant, Part II
No, my critique of Krolik's reasoning skills and writing ability goes quite a bit deeper than Krolik imagines; I think that what he wrote is illogical but even worse than that he disingenuously wrote the article in a fashion that enabled him to have the best of both worlds, from his biased perspective: Krolik bizarrely asserted that the Lakers had an easy road to the title if they could get by Houston, giving himself an excuse to dismiss the game's importance if the Lakers won. However, by later rambling back toward his original statement that this was the biggest game in Bryant's career, Krolik couched his words in a way to leave open the possibility of writing a very critical piece about Bryant if the Lakers lost.

Opinion: Rockets drop to 5th seed after loss to Dallas and lose home court
If the Rockets are lucky enough to beat the Blazers in the first round, they would then face the Lakers (their punishment for not beating Dallas Wednesday night), and the only chance they have of winning that series is if Kobe gets hurt before that series would begin.

Opinion: Comments from the Other Side - Rockets
Here are comments found around the Rockets' boards during their game with the Celtics. The Rockets had an incredible streak and are to be commended for it. There isn't an asterisk on this one either. Yes, the Rockets didn't have Yao but the Celtics didn't have Ray Allen, either. And 10 of those wins were without Yao so it isn't like he just went out. Like the Houston fans, though, I questioned Doc keeping KG on the floor with less than 2 minutes left in the game and up 20+ points. KG is too valuable to the Celtics to risk an injury in garbage time. If the Celtics are in the west I don't think the'd be in the top 5. The record doesn't mean much. Discuss this topic on the Celtics Green Forums!]
