T-Mac (photo. Marc Morrison)After the Rockets notched consecutive win #19, we asked in the DimeMag.com poll when T-Mac’s crew would finally lose. Understandably, not many of you thought last night’s game in Atlanta would be the streak-breaker. But there the Rockets were, in a one-possession game with five minutes left before Mac (28 pts, 9 rebs) took over and led them on a run to close out the Hawks and extend the streak to 20. As the final seconds ticked down — and Marvin Williams put down a bush-league dunk just to prevent ATL from becoming Houston’s 11th straight double-digit victory — the Rockets announcers acted like they just won a championship and one of them sounded like he was on the verge of crying. Next up is the Bobcats at home on Friday … Josh Smith had a monster stat line in the loss, putting up 16 points and 22 boards. Earlier in the day we put J-Smoove’s credentials up against the four players in the League with whom he’s most similar: AK-47, Gerald Wallace, Tayshaun Prince and Shawn Marion. Taking everything into consideration, which one would you want on your squad right now? … At least give the Raptors credit for walking into one of the toughest arenas in the NBA to play in without their best player, taking the Warriors’ best punch in the first round, and staying on their feet long enough to go the distance. Golden State still won by double digits, but the first quarter looked like the beginning stages of a 30-piecing. Toronto simply couldn’t keep up with Baron (23 pts, 15 asts) and Monta (33 pts), and Andris Biedrins was having his way inside without Chris Bosh around … Defining sequence: Baron was switch on to Rasho and Nesterovic immediately posted him up. When Rasho spun into the paint BD swatted his mess (seriously), took off on an end-to-end sprint and flipped in a layup high off the glass. Sam Mitchell took a timeout, but coming out of the huddle, Mickael Pietrus crossed up Jamario Moon and threw down a two-hander over Moon and Nesterovic … Golden State’s color analyst on Pietrus: “What a talented player when he puts his mind to it.” … Weird moment when Andrea Bargnani checked out and went over to the bench, wanting to sit down nearest to the coaches. T.J. Ford and Jason Kapono were occupying the spot Bargnani wanted, so he just stood there in front of them waiting for somoene to slide over. Kapono and T.J. must have thought Bargnani was just looking for dap, because they just put their hands out and didn’t pay him much attention. Bargnani kept standing there like, “Ummm, you wanna move?” for a few more seconds before Ford and Kapono gave up the seat … The previous round of our ongoing hypothetical 1-on-1 tournament had Chris Paul going up against Tony Parker. A pretty even matchup on paper, but the vast majority of you said CP would win, and last night he definitely got the better of Parker when they went at it in a 5-on-5. For the one who supposedly has the weaker jumper, CP gave TP a faceful of pull-up J’s in addition to leaving him flat-foot on some drives into the paint, finishing with 26 points and 17 dimes … The Hornets shut down San Antonio’s usual fourth-quarter rally, actually blowing them out of the water over the final 12 minutes. David West, who had left in the third with a hurt ankle, came back and got buckets, even sticking a three on the wing. West had 29 points and 10 boards … LeBron’s 42 points, 11 boards and 7 assists wasn’t enough to get a win in New Jersey. The game came down to Marcus Williams stepping to the line with 15 seconds left and NJ up by one. Marcus made the first and bricked the second, but Vince Carter came up with the offensive rebound and hit his free throws to ice it. Well, that’s one strike against the “Vince is soft and won’t go inside” case … Forget just making the playoffs; the Sixers might actually mess around and win a game or two in the first round. Andre Iguodala led the upset effort in Detroit, dropping 22 points and catching a serious dunk on Theo Ratliff’s head … Down one in the final seconds, Flip Saunders naturally didn’t call a real play, even though his first five have worked together for years now and consistently execute their stuff better than any lineup in the League. Instead he went with the Chauncey Billups iso, and after Chauncey pushed off of Lou Williams (no call), Rodney Carney ran over to double-team and help harass Billups into a miss … When Carney initially checked in during the first half, he immediately got the ball and tried a step-back jumper on Tayshaun Prince that Tayshaun smacked right back into his face … With the West as tight as it is, the Jazz couldn’t afford a two-game losing streak to Chicago and Milwaukee. They still had a hard time knocking off the Bucks, though, needing a go-ahead layup from Carlos Boozer, an AK-47 swat on Michael Redd and a Boozer steal in the final 45 seconds to escape with a win … On one play Charlie V tried to throw an alley-oop on a fast break from halfcourt to Dan Gadzuric. How do you think that turned out? If your first guess was that Gadzuric almost killed himself, you would be correct … Depressing Grizzlies anecdote of the day: Memphis held Allen Iverson to 2-of-12 shooting (8 pts) and ‘Melo to just 14 points, and STILL got waxed by 22. Why can’t Marc Iavaroni take off on a Pat Riley Scouting Vacation and get away from this mess for a few days? … Speaking of depressing, Mavs/Bobcats included a garbage-time stretch where Juwan Howard and Jamaal Magloire were on the court at the same time. Those two used to be All-Stars, you know. And it wasn’t that long ago … Wednesday night we hit up ESPN The Magazine’s 10th anniversary celebration at an absurd NYC space called Terminal 5. Three levels (one that had craps, roulette, and blackjack tables), open bars everywhere, and a live performance by Third Eye Blind — who we weren’t exactly fired up for, but still put on a fun show. We’re a little over half way to 10 years ourselves at Dime, and can only hope to be able to put on a 10th anniversary bash like ESPN did last night. Thanks for the invites and congrats on 10 great years. Definitely makes us feel old … We know it’s baseball, but this is too good to ignore. Astros infielder Kaz Matsui is on the shelf with the most embarrassing injury ever: Anal fissure. According to fantasy sports site Rotoworld, that would be “an unnatural tear or crack in the anus skin.” The report went on to say that while anal fissures can become a chronic problem, “the Astros hope using a different medication will sooth Matsui’s issue.” If there was ever a time to lie on an injury report, that was it. Can’t you just say he’s got a sore hamstring? … We’re out like Bargnani’s seat …

Gotta be frightening to know that Golden State or Denver will be an 8 seed in the playoffs. The West might have 7 game series every round in my opinion. People sleep on Dallas, but to me they more experienced than everyone (except SA,maybe Phoenix) and will be tough come playoff time.
I don’t think Houston get’s out of the 1st round. Someone will figure them out in a 7 game series.
Detroit really don’t have nothing to play for, they pretty much a lock for the 2 seed in the East. 5 games ahead of Magic, but 5 behind the Celts.
BD is too nice man. He and Monta gave it to every gaurd on the Raptors roster.
Congrats to the Rockets, Rick might get COY

Apparently Vince now plays defense? A big thanks to Cuban for the Kidd trade. I like the Harris + Carter backcourt going forward much more than Carter and old-Man-Kidd..at least Harris seems to care about winning
Charlie V. is on fire lately dropping 26,24 and 25 points in the past 3 games. Thanks to the Raps for him….oh and how’s TJ working out for you?
Another crap night from TJ “it’s all me” Ford going 8-18 in a big loss. Sam must be trying to improve TJ’s trade stock because because his playing time does nothing for the Raptors.

The Guy calls a time out to say what…Uhhhhh, Ok inbound the ball to Chauncey,, and Uhhhhh Chauncey you shoot it, Duh. Its the in of the season and we don’t even have a rotation half of Detroit can’t figure out why Amir can’t get more minutes and why McDyess is still starting dude ain’t gone have nothing left in the tank.

Anal fissure??…how the hell does sum1 do that to himself!!
back to basketball,the Mavs really are frightening me right now. I mean, they’re not playin great basketball but everyone is adjusting to the fact that Kidd can create for them, once they figure out how to play with him better, which should be around playoff time, they might go all the way.
How about the Celtics last night? Big 3 played 26, 25 & 23 mins. The Highest mins played was 26 by Posey and the lowest was 14 by Brown & Cassell. This from the team thats supposed to have a weak bench. Granted it was the Sonics, but you jus need to look at the Big 3 mins over the last 10 games to see that they can play 30 mins apiece and still get a blowout. The Bench definitely is stepping up and it’ll keep every1 fresh till the end.

Woodson is still the worst coach ever. Seriously, I have never seen so FEW actual plays than I do in Hawks games. There is so little movement, with or without the ball. There’s so much talent on that team…especially now with Bibby. If they had a real coach that could get their stuff together, they’d be good.

GEE...What happens in Vegas really don't stay there says:
BLACKJACK! 21 and we gone legally drink!
First off Houston up!
Second one thing that trips me out is how long the nay-sayers keep waiting and wanting. You know, sort of that “I told you so” syndrome. Everyone wants to be the one to correctly pick when the streak would end. I heard N.O. would take us down, heard LeBron, Dallas and trap games. Never-the-less my boys rattled off 20 (DIME you all know I was on some twenty sac stuff yesterday).
I am just saying sure eventually they gone take an L, but for them to defy err body up to this point. That tis a thang of beauty.
Now of course everyone is on some Kobe is going to be the one to stop the streak. I don’t want to get ahead and even start looking at Kobe but for nay-sayer sake I will. Kobe very well can put the clamps on Mac and then it’s Houston’s D vs. L.A.’s O. Considering Lakers just lost to the Kings, Houston winning is not a long shot. Of course I am sure Kobe would love to be the streak stopper, at the same time Mac would love to get one on Kobe. I am a huge Kobe fan, but if he gets hit with the .22 then it is what it is. If he stop Houston, they still got a permanent…PERMANENT…mark in history and considering the failure Rockets fans endure, it’s nice to be on the record breaking, winning, # 2 or 3 seed side of things. So first bring on the Hornets and then bring on his majesty.
Now the Rockets schedule is suppose to get harder as well. Hey you got to drink the sour with the sweet. So I guess the world will see how well we stomach a harder libation.
The anal thing is just nasty
I love seeing other West teams lose like San-An and others when they face off. I have to think, streak or no streak with the way West teams beat up on each other Houston would be in regardless with wins here and there. I am loving consecutive stuff right now though.
CP showed some heart last night and that was impressive. Not that he hasn’t always showed it. I just thought San-An was doing a lil extra and he came through.
Come on Bucks you have a little under 2 minutes and you just collapse. Utah is like a thorn.
The only thing I used to like about Philly was Dawn Staley and Cheese steaks, but I got to give it up for how they playing.
Vince? An offensive rebound? The NBA…where sparks of your former self happen.
Again that anal thing is just nasty.
I’ll ask 21 questions…
March 13th, 2008 at 8:04 am
Top Gun says:
Carter IS soft, but as i said before, he plays his best games againsts stars, like LeBron, Kobe, and Iverson. Yesterday he actually played defense, getting a clean block on a Lebron James layup. He also made other key plays in the end, stole the ball from LeBron and the rebound he got by pushing away Joe Smith. No biggie, he should be doing that on regular basis.
March 13th, 2008 at 8:22 am
Smitty313 says:
I still don’t belive the Rockets are for real but they are about to be tested. Starting sunday they play the Lakers, Boston, Hornets, Warriors, and Suns. If they come out of that with a winning mark of 3 out of 5 then maybe they are for real.
The Pistons better get there act togther. They seem like they coasted last year until they met up with King James and Boobie Gibson made a name for hisself. It was too late. Boston just seem like they want it more.

Celts Fan says:
“but Vince Carter came up with the offensive rebound and hit his free throws to ice it. Well, that’s one strike against the “Vince is soft and won’t go inside” case”
How is an offensive rebound a strike against that case? The “Vince is soft and won’t go inside” case revolves around his insistence on taking way too many jumpers and not being aggressive driving, not getting out-rebounded, that’s the Eddy Curry is soft case you’re thinking of.
and the biggest problem fans have with him is you can tell when he is and isn’t motivated. since the JKidd trade, he’s been working hard and you can tell, which just makes it that much more frustrating that it takes something like that. Then look at warriors like AI and KG. Regardless of game, they look the same all the time cuz they’re giving everything they have every single play of every single game they step on the floor. You just can’t say the same for Vince, and that’s a shame because he has all-time great abilities.

It’s good that people aren’t giving the Sixers credit, because that’s how they beat you.
If the Sixers draw Orlando in the first round, that series could be interesting.
Rasheed is a main reason the Pistons lost that game last night. He was killing whoever the Sixers put against him on the block, but yet he still chose to shoot 25+ ft 3 pointers. He shot 1-7 from 3.
Best way to describe that game is that the Sixers survived the Pistons, as much as Sammy D again tried to give the game away.
Seriously, can he be looked at for attempting to throw games???

they don’t suck, but how are they winning all these games? they really aint this good.
hawks are terrible. they are the clippers of the east.
gstate is a problem, but them boys lack focus. as you watch them play you can tell they believe they’re going to do the same thing in the playoffs as they did last year. they play like its their right and a given.
tj ford is more trigger happy than mo williams. how did these bums get contract extensions?
spurs got manslaughtered by the hornets again. i keep hoping every yr the spurs get bumped in the 1st round. they too boring.
cavs couldn’t beat the nets? drop em in the power rankings
philly is the ultimate sleeper team this yr. i dunno how they keep winning either. but they play together and believe in each other.
flip saunders sucks, but they only about 5 good coaches in the l anyway
bucks are horrible. suck more than porn stars
and how was dime invited to an espn magazine party? if slam had a party, would you go to that too?

To the dude who mentioned guys playing with change in their pockets. ANNOYING! First off ok it’s cool you bringing change for a drink or something, but don’t bring like your whole roll of quarters unwrapped.
Then they forget to take it out of their pockets and drive for a lay-up or get fouled and fall to the floor and you got change everywhere! Now we got to stop the game and watch yo simple @#$ pick up quarters and ish!
Say No to playing with change in your pockets.
Public Service Announcement 255.
But talking about annoying things. Can’t really help this one but boy does it stop a game cold! Contact lenses! Man I promise in 1 night of ball about 3 dudes had their contact lenses pop out, and you know it usually takes a long minute to find them. Got dudes all down on the ground tryna find it, yellin out false “Here it is”s . We need to bring bak them Jabbar goggles!
Boy I tell you, 20 wins will bring haters out in mass. Can’t trip though, cause had it been any team, haters or lets say dislikers would be still finding something.
Straight up I really hope they get 21 though cause then they not tied for the second best streak they HAVE the second best streak since the 70’s. After 21 all other wins will just be extra gravy!
Did anyone see Melo take like 20 steps on a delayed skip pass? How a ref. doesn’t call that I don’t know.
Teams that seem to get so bored with the regular season. Detroit and San-Antonio. I bet they wish it could just be 41 games and the playoffs, cause sometimes them cats look so bored.

Guys playing with glasses is the WORST, in my opinion. I used to have to do it (pre contacts), and it was even worse for me. Even good players have to deal with it. At least the change guys have a chance to be good.

Worse than contacts or glasses are the pretty boys who come to the court with all their jewelry and don’t take it off.
Ya know…their chain and link, rings and especially their white gold-fronting-like-its-ice-diamond- bracelets.
side note:
2yrs ago I was balling at an outdoor park with the fellas, and this dude (young kid perhaps–teenaged) had an (un)official Rip Hamilton face guard on! I shit you not. I thought those joints had to be specially made.
We couldn’t stop laughing at the brother. They look hellish on the court in person and they get fogged up!

How bout the guy who has to stop to answer his cell every 5 minutes.
Or (and I pray you have not) the guy who stinks, not plays bad, but literally stinks and smells and you have to guard him. Those are the times I love a nice zone D lol.
Have you all ever had the dude that plays D wayyyyy to aggressive and is practically all on you …EVEN WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE THE BALL!

I like them better without Yao. Skip and T-Mac seem to push it a bit more cause they dont have to wait for Yao to get his ass up the court.
I wonder what a package of Yao and Head would garner in the off season?
March 13th, 2008 at 12:47 pm

Oh and to all you guys throwing stories have bad ballers out there, why play with them. I just refuse. If you showed up at my court doin half the stuff you guys are talkin about you would be told to go home, no discussion.
(sory for the double post)
March 13th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
GEE...What happens in Vegas really don't stay there says:
DH I feel you in respects to they do push it more. Although there have been times when I have seen them literally waiting on Mac. When he gets in ball stopper mode.
Anyway if they when it all, call that the modern day miracle. Still I believe in Clutch City. Now as far as packaging Yao….Whoaaaa!
The playoffs are a totally different animal and I really think we will miss his presence and scoring inside. I wouldn’t be quick to trade off a 20-10 center at all.
Of course most would depend on who you getting in return.
How bout the guy WHO BRINGS HIS BAD @#$ KIDS TO THE COURT! They either running around through the court during the game or they have their own stinkin ball and it’s rolling through during game play and you got to stop to kick that ish away. Then you have to stop game for dude to tell his son or daughter “sit down”.
Worst is the kid gets hurt from accidently roamin on the court and the dude wanna get heated with you because his bad @#% kid was on the court while you was driving?!?!
Or the overly sweaty big man…so disgusting. Then he is the most physical dude on the court and you end up getting drench because of his big @#$!!
Or the dude that wanna call back-courts, kick balls, goaltending, and anything else he can think of to hide his lack of skills!
Dudes be comical on the courts these days!

GEE, I got no problem w/ guys calling goaltending (if you can jump that high, it’s something that’s a legit beef) as long as it’s obvious, backcourt = out of bounds for us, and kick’s only called if it causes a TO, but those are legit calls. I hate the people that want to call palming or traveling (on something like shuffling your feet, if you take 4 steps that’s a walk, if you drag your pivot foot a little bit, no one should call shit)

GEE...What happens in Vegas really don't stay there says:
I don’t know Celts you sound like one of them dudes lol. Just messin with ya.
Naw for real I feel you on the goaltending, but backcourt is regular backcourt for us, and 1st shouldn’t no dude be going that far back with the ball and 2nd that isn’t something that should be called in a gym or something. I agree with the kicks if it’s a turnover.
The main thing though was to point out the dudes who be making a bunch of calls on other people to hide their flaws. I feel what you saying though.
How bout the big man who always wanna be outside shooting and dribbling but HAS NO RANGE!

“How bout the guy WHO BRINGS HIS BAD @#$ KIDS TO THE COURT! They either running around through the court during the game or they have their own stinkin ball and it’s rolling through during game play and you got to stop to kick that ish away. Then you have to stop game for dude to tell his son or daughter “sit down”.”
LMAO , Gee, you will get me fired for rollin on the floor on the job
DH
playa, you can’t just bounce cuz there some scrubs on the courts, you gotta stack your squad and just hold the court. You can usually bounce those dudes quick in a game to 7.
Anybody else think Bowen’s got a future as an actor with the looks on his mug whenever he does some dirty shit?
Houston, please don’t choke against the Cats cuz that game on sunday is gonna be hot

Kevin, TJ was probably preoccupied planning out his next shot.
I don’t know why the Rockets seem to play so well without Yao. It’s not like they couldn’t have been pushing it before (really? you think they’re waiting for 50 year old Mutombo?). Obviously Deke plays better D than Yao, but Yao plays DRAMATICALLY better O than Deke does. If they rebound the same, and bpg goes 3 a game to 1.5, that’s what? 3 less points a game when Deke is your starter? YAO AVERAGES LIKE 10 MORE POINTS A GAME. And he’s a better passer. It must be a mindset. Either way, I can’t see the Rockets winning it all, though I do admire their heart.

K-DIZZ I am so for real man it’s so crazy how you meet so many different types of dudes on the court.
Like we got one dude who plays with us from time to time, and I swear he got the most horrid guts in the South-east! He is constantly, CONSTANTLY burping or fartin! I ain’t talkin bout no lil ish. I am talking if you walk into the burp you know what dude has been eating that is souring in his stomach. His farts are so bad, they will let you just leave him open on O cause you ain’t gone wanna follow his @#$ around smellin like that.
Have you all ever encountered the girl baller who looks like a dude but is just over as a female. Of course she can ball, but it just feels akward having her on the court.
It’s treacherous out there!

-exactly GEE, legit calls should be made. We treat backcourt as out of bounds. It’s not like we’re gonna flip out if you step on it bringing the ball up, but once you get into that offense, if you go that far back, you’re an idiot. For the most part, everything that’s called, everyone agrees on, so you know it’s not called unless it’s blatant…

-I HATE THAT GUY. I also hate the guy that has range, but because of that, he feels the need to take 30 foot jumpers cuz he can drain 1 out of 10, meanwhile, everyone else wants to jump him. Then, inevitably, that guy gets annoyed at someone else for not playing hard enough D or something as he’s 3 for 27 from looooooong range. I HATE the guy that feels like just cuz he’s a good shooter, he should shoot it every time he gets the ball. Pass the fuckin ball man.
