Rockets hit 21 in a row, Heat sit at 11…total.

March 15th, 2008 | Basketball, Sports | Comment »

As amazing as Houston's streak is, I can't get over how bad the Heat have been this season. They're 11-53 right now. This has to underscore the difference between Wade and Lebron. Wade has a more experienced coach and more experienced teammates, but can't lead them to victories like Lebron ... Read more »

[youtube uivPBNNJb8U] Also, a quick peak at Amare's stats in his first 12 games with Shaq: 28.4 PPG 9.3 RPG 2.0 BPG 84.4% FT 56.1% FG How is he not going to win the MVP award next year?Related posts: Shaq vs. Duncan The seventh seed Michael ...

Today's Dime has Mutombo's response: "The Rockets have won 20 games straight," sung Dikembe Mutombo to nobody in particular. "All the critics can kiss my black ass." Followed by this: Adelman said he the last time he'd only won 20 in a row once before -- when he was coaching at Chemeketa Community ... Read more »

I don't think anyone expects much from either team, but you're kind of rooting for both their streaks to continue as long as possible.  I wonder if the fact they held New Jersey to 30% shooting last night was a result of Houston's defense (anchored by the Ageless Wonder) or ... Read more »

Resigning Jose to $7-8m won't leave much room under the luxury tax threshold to bring back K-Hump and Brezec, and I'm not sure what Moon's situation is? I was trying to see if they could maybe sign Brand or trade for Jermain O'Neal, but I don't think either is a ... Read more »
