    i'll be pulling for you... I just don't see it happening.

    The Jazz earned game 1. They earned game 4. They earned tonight. The Rockets would have won Game 2 with Alston, though. No red-blooded individual can claim otherwise. ****, without him, it would have been a tie game if not for a bogus foul call on Scola.

    Here are my 2 cents of what I saw.

    Kirilenko is a good defender, but he brings nothing on offense. at all. He just stands around and watches everyone else play and then once a shot goes up, he cuts to try to get a rebound.

    Boozer is a lazy defender. There is no reason Scola should be getting a consistent 16 and 10 on him. none. He will need to be much better against Gasol. Is he hurt? b/c last year, he was much, much better than he is playing now. (and was playing to end the season).

    The benches for the two teams are damn near equal. Turiaf and Millsaps are the same player imo, and down the line.

    I just think the Lakers and Rockets are similar, but Kobe is better than T-Mac and Gasol is much better than Scola and Fisher is a better shooter than Alston, so it will be an uphill battle.

    I saw the Jazz playing aggressive and not allowing easy baskets. Frustrating them was what we needed to do and they accomplished that IMO. Everyone played there role and any given night you will see someone different stepping up. If we carry that over to the Lakers and take a game at their place, it will go to game 7 and if the Jazz sweep at home I like their chances as well.

    Do the math. That was, what? October? It's now May. If she was pregnant then, and still carrying...nobody KNEW she was pregnant then...probably not even her.

    No offense intended...I'm trying really hard to understand this point of view. However, it's a little difficult when we're talking about a 21 year old father that has been given a golden opportunity to become a gazillionaire...and we consider HIM a kid...while across the globe, 18 and 19 year old MEN AND WOMEN are fighting and dying in a war and defending our nation...the very nation that provided this "kid" all of the opportunities that he has so needlessly pissed away...pun intended.Spare me the "kid" crap, please.

    I heard she had the baby back during his suspension a week or so before the Spring game, premature.

    So, I'm confused...

    Where is RP headed? The Jazz, Rockets, or Lakers?

    The Lakers. He and Kobe are going to be best buds (Kobe does still play for the Lakers, I assume?)

    Well, I saw the news on yahoo yesterday, right before my second interview at a job I really want. Talk about being distracted. I kept wanting to say, "DAYUM!" randomly, and I blame RP for that.

    Seriously, it saddens me that it came to this. But I trust Miles, and I am really, really, really, really, really, really, really glad this didn't happen in October or November of this year.
