    man if you switch out Harden and Howard on to that Pacers team, they would 3 peat.

    seriously the Pacers won four more games than us, just four! and that was without us having Howard

    I disagree.....
    The gap IS that large.
    I swear man, haters just see what they want to see. I wouldn't take George AND Hibbert for either of those two. For reals.

    The other day after a pickup game one of my friends, with a straight face, said that he would rather have Noah than Dwight. We aren't friends anymore.

    This is going to be a great pre-season game.

    So I just came back from the Philippines a couple of weeks ago. (Gosh I love that country).

    They're all huge basketball fans. The moment they hear I'm from Houston, the next question is about Hakeem Olajuwon. And then Dwight Howard. And then "oh - the Rockets are going to play in Manila soon! Did you hear? But the tickets are soooooo expensive!"

    The above conversation happened about 5-6 times with different people. Basketball really is the #1 sport there. Their sports channels are constantly showing local college and pro leagues. Even in my company's offices they have intramural leagues etc.

    I also lost my cellphone in a Manila taxi. And the driver brought it back 6 hours later. Thank God!

    Great experience I will never forget. I hope to go back there again soon.

    Wow, didn't realize this was a morning game. I'm on the West Coast so it'll be a test of will to see if I can get up to watch a 4:30AM game. Also, my last impression of the Pacers is the UGLY offense and mind-less turnovers (even uglier than Houston's) in the post-season. This matchup should be fun. Really wish Omer was healthy and is playing.

    That's what I'm thinking about EVERY NBA GAME. Welcome to European time... although NBA games start 1:00 and 4:00 Central Europan Time and not that late in the morning (or should I say late in the night, heh).

    I'll watch this. If only I'm in Philippines, I'll actually go there. This should be fun. Hopefully Asik can play. I want to see Howard and Asik playing together.
