Houston vs Dallas

HRockets

I'm just looking for thoughts from other readers across the great US regarding the NBA playoffs. I think that Houston will take Dallas in seven games. Your thoughts are welcomed on this subject. I've been a Rocket fan since Hakeem the Dream started playing pro-ball with the Rockets.

I would never have guessed you were a Rockets fan. I don't watch basketball.

HRockets

Oh yeah! I love basketball. No concept of the rules, just enjoy watching grown men run back and forth on the court. Especially love three pointers when they swoosh!

Sorry, HRockets, I don't share your passion for the NBA. I used to, but not any more. Good luck to you and the Rockets, however.

Nah, I think Chicago will take Houston in seven. There's just no stopping that Michael Jordan guy!

POPEYE

Your wrong Parabeagle. Just wait until the first time Jordan tries to drive the lane against Kareem Jabbar. And if Kareem doesn't do it, Larry Bird will or he just might let Dr. J. take over. Wow! There's just not those kind of players any more. I haven't watched an NBA game since Michael retired, the last time!!

Speaking of all the greats, what happened to the cool nicknames from past. In fact, it's late in the day and I can't think of one! It's Viva Fiesta time here! Have a great weekend.

My favorite was always "Pistol Pete" Maravich - the guy had great hair and my folks made me wear a crew cut growing up.

Pistol Pete was so fun to watch. My favorite used to be David "Skywaler" Thompson. He could pick a quarter off the top of the backboard. Then he discovered cocaine and his career was over.

Nuggets are finally back in the play-offs, but I doubt if I'll watch any live games. Just not as much fun anymore - now college ball - that is another story.

How about Earl "The Pearl" Monroe, George "The Iceman" Gervin, Julius "DR.J" Irving, and Robert "The Chief" Parrish.

I thought the Spurs were the only NBA team in Texas! Looks like the Spurs or the Heat win the Cahmpionship.

HRockets

No way! Houston soared over Dallas on Saturday and Denver whooped SA last night. SA might win one in five.

Dallas is my home town, but I lived in Houston many years, so my vote has to go to the Rockets.
