some random thoughts

spurs lost again tonight, that would be 4 losses in a row and 6 losses in the last 7 games. beginning of the end?
the way spurs lost tonight must be frastrating to their fans: had a 20 points lead in 1st half, lost it and got behind by 4 in the 3rd q, got ahead by 8 with 5 minutes to go, and still lost at the end. c-h-o-k-e?
key play of the game: with celtic up by 2 with 20 seconds left, kg misses a wide open jumper, and none other than rajon rondo somehow got the rebound from between bowen and ginobili, got fouled, hit two clutch ft, and sealed the deal. the same rondo whose offense rebound also beat mavs. celtic's big 4, instead of big 3?
speaking of spurs' recent loss: in their loss to pistons, spurs attempted a total of 6 fts. 3 each for tony parker and duncan. each made 2. ginobili played 35 minutes without getting to the line once. old? lazy?
btw, people pointed out that rockets' stat improved after yao got hurt, and argue that yao does not exactly help rockets. my take: this just showed the coach does not know how to utilize yao's tremendous and unique talents. anytime houston wants to get rid of yao, let's do whatever necessary to get him.

if the mavs

were on the spurs streak.. the national media would be freaking out right now... kind of like they did when we did lose 3 or 4 in a row...

no one gives us a DAMN worth of respect these days, or all year for that matter. All the media would be saying is, "see, told ya so" and talking about what idiots Cuban and Avery are for doing the Kidd deal...

Being under the radar a good thing too IMO, when we had all the attention last year, we crumbled from the coach down in this organization. I like right were we are at right now... quietly stomping the teams we should and getting ready for this week.

No

Yao is a great talent, but can't stay away from injuries. I can't believe we are still in 7th.

It's hard to agree with the media..

but it just seems like the rockets are playing out of their minds and eventually will fall to earth. All I can hope for is a mini streak going into the playoffs no matter what seed the mavs draw draw.

You guys should know that the reason no one freaks

out about the Spurs losing is because they have won championships and we have not. When the playoffs start everyone picks a team besides the Spurs and the Spurs end of winning the Finals. There is a reason why everyone freaks out about Dallas losing, and that is they have not done anything before and after Kidd.

I know how to spell Dirk, M-V-P
