Random notes

I'm watching the Laker/Rockets game.
Rockets have 37 points in the 1st half. I have yet to see Tracy McGrady lead anybody to anything but a high lottery pick.
The Timberwolves just got by the Ivy-less 76ers, losing Cassell in the contest to an injury. Two things to note, Cassell kept them in that game, Try Hudson looked horrible. They better hope Cassell makes it back soon.
More random.
The Sonics just went 3-2 on a road trip losing 2 in a row for the 1st time this season. As bad as they looked I don't see the Lakers or Rockets making a run at the Sonics any time soon. Sonics have a couple days off before facing the Heat at home. I expect them to bounce back and take it to the Heat again. Sure, the Heat are kicking the Blazers around the Rose Garden, but that's not that big of an impact but they will be hitting Seattle on the second game of a road trip. They will arrive in Seattle the day that the Seahawks and Rams play a playoff game. There's going to be nothing for those Heat players to do but get into trouble.
