Its a more fresh version of House and not as repetitive. Great show and Tim Roth is entertaining as hell.

I haven't been able to watch lately (parents cut off the cable) but I might Hulu it in the future or if its ever on the 360 Netflix.

Oh my goodness. I have nothing else to add.

Rank you top 5 favorite game systems based on how good they were in their own generation. 1. Playstation 2 - personally I think this might be the greatest system of all time. There were just so many good games to choose from, rarely do quality and quantity work so well. 2. Nintendo 64 - I played this almost every day with my friends in the neighborhood. So many good games for a 7 year old kid to play, I feel like the Nintendo games now are cheap copies of the 64 stock. Zelda, the Mario games, all so awesome. 3. Xbox - not the 360 but the original xbox, game crop was way better and the fact that it had Halo 2 brings back so many fond memories. 4. Nintendo Gamecube - Nintendo raped with this console, best group of video games they ever had but the sales weren't so good because it didn't appeal to younger consumers. 5. Playstation 3 - I just bought mine 2 months ago and I already love it. It is arguably the best system ever (as in the console itself, not including the games). Honorable mentions are Sega, the Nintendo handheld systems and 360. I'd say Super Nintendo but I never owned one.

I thought this was probably the best Harry Potter movie. Absolutely loved it.

A young prospect like Bayless and a $15 million expiring should get you a whole lot more at the February trade deadline. Edit: just read they get under the tax Also if the Hornets wanted to save money they would have just let Peja expire.

Both would be tremendous to have right now. What I don't understand is if Morey was planning on competing this and last season, why didn't he resign Ron Artest, who had proven enough to the organization? If the Rockets rebuild like I think they will come February then I'd absolutely would LOVE to have Batum right now. Strange that he was the original pick we made. If I had to rank the players: 1. Ron Artest 2. Nicolas Batum (interchangeable with Artest) 3. Trevor Ariza 4. Courtney Lee 5. Donte Greene (I think he could have been something special had Houston been able to keep and groom him) 6. Darrell Arthur Yes we drafted him in 2006 and yes I regret that Shane Battier trade so much.

Alabi performed MUCH better than the guy selected 36 spots ahead of him. I am baffled.

Like Flash said Beasley is playing so well because he's being able to have all the ISOs he wants in Minny, he rarely got ISO plays by just playing with Wade. Add Lebron to the mix and things would be much worse for Beasley. Bosh was a ISO player in Toronto too but his game is better suited than Beasley's for playing next to Wade and Lebron.

I don't understand why the hornets do it, they can get so much more for that package.

On the night of the extremely talented 2008 NBA draft, the Houston Rockets were sitting on the 25th pick in the first round. Normally many wouldn't expect anything more than a long-term project or 9th or 10th man off the bench, but tonight was different as the draft was stocked with great talent in both rounds. Houston tried to move up to the 'teen picks to try and snatch Brandon Rush or Courtney Lee, but Daryl Morey came to no avail. After the Orlando Magic selected Lee with the 22nd pick, the Rockets didn't pout and they set their sights on another prospect. Houston selected the ever so talented and potential loaded French native, Nicolas Batum. Batum was earlier thought to be a lottery pick but slipped to the Rockets' lap. Sounds like a great pick right? Sure but Daryl Morey and the Rockets were not done. Shortly after the announcement of the 25th pick, Houston traded the rights to Batum to the Portland Trailblazers for the draft rights to Darrell Arthur and Joey Dorsey. Arthur was considered to be a late lottery pick and many predicted to go to the Sacramento Kings at the 12th pick (they would take Jason Thompson instead), but a heart condition recently discovered in his physical caused him to drop. By making this trade the Rockets c-blocked their divisional rival, the San Antonio Spurs, and also picked up another pick (Dorsey). Arthur was a Rocket (most consider this a three team deal but many Rockets fans recall Morey trading for Arthur's rights) for all but 30 minutes to an hour. Houston would make another deal, this time with the Memphis Grizzlies, in which Arthur draft rights were traded and in return the Rockets finally received the player they were targeting all night long in Donte Greene. Greene was another projected late lottery pick but his stock dropped after word got out of Donte's poor attitude in a Nets workout. Houston was absolutely enamored by Donte's length, athleticism and high scoring ability. The sky was the limit and Tracy McGrady (at the time) seemed like the perfect mentor for the rookie. Just a couple of weeks after Donte Greene scored 40 points in a Rockets summer league game, he was traded along with Bobby Jackson and a future first round pick (Omri Casspi) to the Sacramento Kings for the controversial Ron Artest, Sean Singletary and Patrick Ewing Jr. Artest, a former All-Star and regarded as one of the NBA's elite perimeter defenders, would help lead the Houston Rockets to their first second round appearance in over a decade and force a game 7 with the future NBA champions Los Angeles Lakers. After the season many thought the Rockets would resign Ron Artest to a multiple year deal but after news of Yao's season ending injury got out, Houston got cold and merely offered Artest a $10 million one year deal. Artest was offended by the Rockets short term offer and would bolt to the team that ended his Rockets' season, the Lakers. Houston in turn signed the Lakers young athletic forward Trevor Ariza to a Mid-Level Exception (MLE) multi-year deal. Adelman would later state that Ariza would be the Rockets new #1 option as they try to turn him into an all-star. The experiment failed miserably but Trevor put together a strong performance in the second half of the season that included a triple double game against his future team, the New Orleans Hornets. With no sign of warning Daryl Morey traded Trevor Ariza in a multi team deal for the player he targeted 2 years ago, Courtney Lee. Morey and Adelman spoke very highly of Lee, praising his work ethic, basketball IQ and defense. Unfortunately the Rockets would struggle early on the season with a 3-9 record and Lee hasn't been able to show the skills that Morey has sought after ever so much. With rumors of a potential trade for an all-star to help the Rockets get back into form, could Lee be packaged? Or will Houston decide to keep Lee if he shows improvements as the season goes along? Only time will tell.

Jeff Green for Scola is a trade that has been thrown around a lot recently. Thunder get their inside presence and the Rockets rebuild with a decent small forward prospect. Makes sense for both sides. I'm not sure what I would want from the Pacers besides their unprotected first and Paul George (highly doubt they let him go) Right which is why I'm saying that any Scola trade would have to happen some time around the February trade deadline. To be honest though you may be the only poster here that still believes in this team. You and Yugo maybe. .

I know and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

Stole the thread from clutchfans but I think its a pretty interesting situation with Luis Scola. If the Rockets are still struggling (10th or below in the standings) at the February trade deadline, should they trade their second leading scorer and rebounder? Scola is in his 30s and has a big contract that runs for another 5 seasons, and if Houston decides to rebuild they will be better off with the addition cap space. There are many teams that would be willing to let go of some good pieces for an elite post up big man like Scola. The Thunder, Magic, Hawks and Suns are a few teams that could use him.

Patterson were pretty awful in his first game, he's far from being 'the savior'.

JVG - ridiculously poor offense Adelman - ridiculously poor defense Pick your poison. Only coach that remotely interests me right now is Tyrone Corbin.

Darko was [expletive]ing amazing tonight. Love on the other hand was abused and never was able to get into a groove.

Surprising: Ish Smith - great court division and controls the pace well and makes some good passes. Great young pure point guard, only issue is shooting. Disappointing: Courtney Lee - Morey and Adelman praised Lee over the summer for his work ethic, skills and tool set. They loved him so much that they traded away our starting small forward (a position we are now weak at) and also one of the best defensive wings, but Courtney has done nothing but disappoint. Decent defense but he's not particularly well at anything else and he's horrible down the stretch.

And just who are we going to replace him with? The coaching crop isn't very good right now unlike this past offseason.

Raptors: 4-9 Rockets: 3-9 Sixers: 3-10 We are in striking distance of the second worst record in the NBA. Time to tank, this team is clearly going nowhere.
