Damn Yao

Well there goes that series. Yao was suckin the last two games, but hes still by far the rockets best player. Without mutumbo it wasnt lookin up, without Yao its pretty much hopeless. Too bad, the series was an absolute joy to watch. Rockets really do play some good defense, and watching a great offensive team like the lakers play against it was a lot of fun. Who am I kidding, I just like watching Kobe pull out every fucking trick known to man in his quest to ridicule shane battier, its pretty fuckin entertaining. Last game was kind of dissapointing to me, I thought adelman played Lowry too much, especially in the 4th. I like Lowry, hes a great backup to have, but they needed brookes in to put some points up. If they not gonna play brookes then they really gotta work on gettin Yao the ball in the post, pretty much never happened. Yea so iono now, may as well get back on the laker bandwagon. Not much of a fan of either the mavs or nuggets, though I guess dallas isnt so bad, jason kidd is alrite. don really like anyone in the east, or really what i mean is i dont like cleveland. Hard to dislike lebron, but his team isnt very likable. then again the lakers arnt the most likable team either, the suposedly high character guy fisher showed his true face. odom seems cool, u just kind of pity bynum, but after that they all are really kinda easily hatable.

on a completely different note, adam kennedy? seriously? whatever, doesnt really cost anything, will fill in nicely while ellis is down (see: 162 games), but i mean is he really an upgrade over pennington/petite/patterson? honestly, i doubt it. i mean, hes basically an older pennigton/petite, decent glove, nice contact skills, no fucking power. really, why the hell do we hate patterson so much? just play his ass! yea he might not defend well, but his bat actually has some upside, might as well let him find it. i really just do not understand this team this year. at least we finally dfa'd fuckin copeland, thats a waste of a roster spot. hopefully davis goes next. davis is a good bench player to have, but when your fucking idiot manager insists on starting him over travis buck, its time to make the decision for him. still early in the season, we very much in this race. if duch can come back healthy and buck just plays regularly, we might actually have a chance here. I mean look at us, we hanging around with a AAA rotation and replacement level players running wild all over the roster, if we can finally do something right for once we got the division locked.
