an eventful couple of days...

for rockets and spurs fans, at least. within a span of 36 hours, we just saw:
1. The best game SA has played all year (argueably, since it was against NOK(11-15),but still a near perfect game for SA, no matter how bad NOK is.)
2. The worst game SA has played all year (against HOU, who played flawlessly(see #3) but that is no excuse for the lack of hustle and discipline)
3. The best game HOU has played all year (see #2) when they smashed SA. I think this game proves what patrick has been saying all year- that HOU has what it takes to beat anyone in the league when they bring their A-game. if it wasn't for big ugly, sad, terrible, #4
4. Yao broke his stinking leg. too early to speculate on the full impact of this on the rockets season.
5. PHX has the longest winning streak since 2000 stopped by a red hot gilbert arenas. WAS played extremely well, but it was arenas that beat PHX. i almost think he should be in the running for MVP ( if it wasnt for his %s) . but i have to agree with kobe on this one; arenas takes ill advised shots. i don't really see any other way to look at it. his attitude about shooting the ball reminds me of a young allen iverson; he doesn't mind taking crazy shots because he knows that he has just as good/ better chances than anyone else on his team. he was 21-37 in the PHX game and it was an impressive 57%. he made lots of off-balance shots and got a lot of difficult and-1s with raja bell glued to his face. if WAS gets him some help, we could all be in serious trouble.

get well soon, yao.
