First of all a reminder, we're taking the show to the best Hooter's in Houston, maybe in Texas, maybe the world Tuesday night 3/11 (that's tomorrow!!) from 6-10pm. If the food is the same at all the Hooter's then I wonder what makes the NASA location the best??Click here for visual proof.
So come on out and see us at Hooter's; SportsRadio 610 has hooked up with Hooter's to try to give away a trip to Belize and a huge flat screen HDTV just for paying attention to the upcoming college basketball games here in March. Danny & I broadcast live starting at 6pm.

Bring on New Jersey. I wish we had more knowledgable fans and analysts out there. Or at least some with enough time on their hands to actually watch a game every once in awhile. Can we please stop getting any more, "I don't understand how they are doing it." All that means is you haven't seen them play. That's all it takes to figure it out.Forget about the names on the jerseys. Just watch.
For the last 2 and a half months, the Rockets have been the...
- Best rebounding team in the league.
- Best defensive team in the league - hardest to shoot against, hardest to score against
- Best passing team in the league
And if you take the time to watch, it is very easy to see they are simply playing harder than the other team. That's the biggest part of it all. Watch their emotion and desire. Watch them grab nearly every loose ball and free rebound.
This is similar to what the Celtics did earlier this year, when they were destroying teams every night. (Although the Celtics were all healthy, unlike the Rockets who have won their last 6 w/o Yao). The Celtics won 9 straight by double figures, the Rockets will be going for their 10th win a row by double figures tonight at home against New Jersey. That will tie the all-time NBA mark set in 1946 by the Washington Capitols and matched in 2004 by many of these very same Nets.
Also, just like the Celtics, none of their greatness in the regular season will be as meaningful unless this exact same effort and result is what comes of it.
Regardless, it is embarrassing, foolish and downright ignorant to disrespect what they are doing right now. 18 game winning streak do not grow on trees. As Crash Davis said in Bull Durham about playing ball, "If it was so easy every one would do it." The NBA isn't bringing in ABA or D-league teams in for the Rockets to beat up on. It's the same NBA schedule that any other western conference team has and nobody else has done it.
----------------------------------
More for the non-believers.The Rockets record against the 8 other west playoff contenders since streak began (5-0, New Orleans twice, Denver, Golden State and Dallas)
By comparison here are the contenders' records in same span against same playoff contenders...
Mavs record (0-6)
Suns (2-7)
Spurs (3-3)
LAL (2-0)
NO (5-5)
Utah (7-1) But nobody cares about them b/c in same span they also have double-figure losses to Minn, Sac and LAC.
As usual the numbers don't lie.
-------------------------------------
Wish I'd thought of this one, although I'd probably have added more commentary. There are plenty of football movies, so why not a Movie character mock draft. (tip to DMN 'Boys blog)-------------------------------------
-------------more throughout the day, comments welcome-----WEXTake at look at these two newsies. A bit of discord, yes? Do you think any of the anchor/reporters in Houston have engaged in such behavior on air?
