Well... there goes the Rockets chances of staying in the playoff picture. I'm not going to lie... I was hoping the Sixers would make the playoffs and the Nuggets would miss out. That seems unlikely now.

When Yao was out last season the Rockets played better during that stretch with Mutumbo playing center. I see no reason why they cant duplicate that play this season. I still see the Nuggets falling out of the playoffs because they look like 5 players who just got picked to run a pickup game. They have no chemistry at all and I believe thats because of Anthony. Hes a great player but I dont think he will lead a team to a chip ever in his career. Just like AI. It doesnt help that Karl is a horrible coach and will be fired after this season and they will bring in either Rick Calisle? or Aldamen?

Its ok. Houston is bringing in Bobby Jones to fill the void.

Who's going to replace them? Houston not dropping off would be a miracle. Portland is 4 games back.

My thoughts exactly !!!

I could see it coming ... The Nuggets might not have made the playoffs.

Now they probably have a free pass.

I wonder if they could steal Magliore away from the Mavs...would seem like a perfect fit for the rest of the season. If not, Dikembe is back in play.
