It's Clutch City if you live within the confines of Houston and have lost small portions of your brain from breathing air that's about as clean as a chick standing on the sidewalk of Harry Hines.

Otherwise, it's Choke City.

Funny, since Dallas is only one spot below Houston in pollution.

Whatever makes you feel better about your (almost) 0-7 in the first round "superstar."

Okay, talk to me when the Mavs advance.

I really feel for you. They came so close tonight. Hope you get through the night ok.

Don't even go there, seriously. For all their failures, the Mavs have more playoff acumen in the past 7 years on their pinky fingers than do the Rockets on all 10. Whether the Mavs advance this year sure as hell doesn't change that.

Cue 1994 banner talk in 3, 2, 1.....

Well I don't care who's right or wrong and I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow cause tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone help me make it through the night

Yes, past seven years, but so what? What has that brought the Mavs?

[chumdawg]

Unlike a lot of Mavs fans, evidently, I like Houston. The world is a better place when the Rockets are part of the mix.

Please explain because this is interesting.

[chumdawg]

If you can read, there's no explanation necessary.

What?

I'm not in the right state of mind right now. I'll sleep and read in the morning.

If you don't know you are being patronized, YOU ARE THE DUMBASS IN THE THREAD.

[GuerillaBlack]

I guess so.

[ShaggyDirk]

Yep.

I want to thank the Rockets for another incredible season. 22-0. There was that halftime show with the fake proposal which was pretty hilarious. Got some solid rookies which will only get better and we almost nabbed the first seed. w00t!

But seriously Dallas' season will more than likely end an hour or two before ours which makes this year a success once again. Import Yao healthy next season and add a third scorer.


PS: Shane Battier is still available for Howard.

Just say no to moral victories.

[ShaggyDirk]

We will give you Howard, EJ, George, and Avery for Battier.

[DirkFTW]

Now that is a clever trade... by sending Avery, you ultimately are sending Stackhouse too. Well done!

[Evilmav2]

Well, after sarcastically blaming himself for the Rockets' game 2 home court loss last week, it looks like T-Mac's found someone else to blame for their latest game 4 loss- specifically, his coach and game 3, one-legged Rocket's hero Carl Landry...


McGrady calls out Adelman, Landry

You'd think a guy with as much baggage as Tracy McGrady would know better than to offer a public assessment of someone else's job performance. That's what he did after Game 4 Saturday night in Utah.

When McGrady was asked how Mehmet Okur had been allowed to grab a key rebound on a missed free throw with around six seconds remaining and the Rockets down two, he served Carl Landry and Rick Adelman up on a platter.

"I hit the ball off the glass, and Carl just mistimed it," McGrady said.

And then...

"Okur came over and got the rebound," McGrady said. "It was a big rebound we didn't get. That was the point where Dikembe (Mutombo) and those guys should have been in the game, because we would have called a timeout had we gotten the rebound."

Moments earlier, Adelman had second-guessed himself about not having Mutombo in the game. He said he had considered it, but that he decided to stick with his "two most athletic guys"--McGrady and Landry.

Adelman had used much of his news conference to defend McGrady. McGrady was 9 for 25 in Game 4 and is shooting 19 percent in the fourth quarter in this series.

[ShaggyDirk]

oh, yeah. I forgot to throw in Stackhouse. But, that is like having a deuce kicker in poker.

[GuerillaBlack]

Maybe McGrady should go smoke pot with Josh Howard this offseason.

Kidd Terry Battier Dirk Damp = smarter, can shoot better, can play better defense, oh and is smarter than any lineup we can put out there with our current roster.

Avery can caddy for Rick and Howard will bring those teeth and tenacity which we have been sorely missing all these years. BTW - Battier is shooting 56% from the field and 69% from beyond the arc.
