ROCKETS NOTES: Bullard hurt in skiing accident

Ex-player suffers broken bones

Rockets broadcaster and former player Matt Bullard was injured in a skiing accident Wednesday morning and visited a Sandy, Utah, hospital for observation.

Bullard suffered a fractured orbital bone, fractured nose and a concussion. A CTscan was performed, and he was released from the hospital to travel back to Houston with the team.

WTF DM! STOP KILLING OFF PEOPLE FROM TEAMS YOU ROOT FOR

 

[Dizzan]

Predictions

Dallas will roll Golden State in 4

Kobe will push Phoenix but they'll lose 4 - 2

SA 4 -1 over Denver

Houston and T-Mac will squash the Jazz 4-2

Dallas - Phoenix WC Finals.......... Phoenix will beat them in one of the great series 4-3

And in the East

Detroit 4 Orlando 1

Toronto NJ... best First Round 4-3 Nets who are on a fat role and Carter back to where he started

Miami will be a semi-shock first round loser going down 4 -2. Bulls will have a good post season

Cleveland 4 Washington without Arenas.... 1


The mighty Cavs will ease through until Detroit where they will again be shown who's boss
Hopefully Bron has a career series against them and Verejao gets a few more minutes and they may be able to squeeze into the finals.

Just be happy your team even made the playoffs.

 

[Karakand]

Just be happy your team even made the playoffs.

It's hard to get excited about making the playoffs when your team has only missed the playoffs 5 times in its entire history.

 

[Bad_Boy]

LAAAKKKKKEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSS!

Are Laker fans the Atlanta Braves fans of basketball?

 

[Karakand]

Are Laker fans the Braves fans of basketball?

Considering the Lakers actually win championships with some regularity I'd say no.

 

[Benjamin1981]

So we are playing against Wade and the refs.

I think we won the season series 3-1 but this will be very difficult. Hopefully we will be able to use the homecourt advantage.

 

[Matrix]

Considering the Lakers actually win championships with some regularity I'd say no.

Seems you guys are too spoiled,after the season your team had I would expect some sorta excitement for just making it this year.

Instead you have Konex bitching about them.

 

[rc213]

I'm happy they had just enough to finish the season above .500!!! WOOOOOOOOO!

Unlike a fake superstar like KG, Kobe will always drag his scrubs into the playoffs unless he misses substantial time due to injury...

The Suns, who won the season series with the Lakers, 3-1, apparently don't believe a playoff series against them will last long, or so Stoudemire said last week.

"I don't think it would go seven," he told reporters in Phoenix. "I think we would take care of them pretty quick, hopefully, if everything goes as planned."

Bryant understandably disagreed when asked about it Wednesday.

"Well, we'll put his clairvoyance to the test," he said.

Ok, I'm getting excited now

 

[Matrix]

Man I really am starting to hate the Suns cocky attitude when they havent done shit in the playoffs.

Stoudemire and Nash *for his Rockets comments* can suck my Red Rocket!

As much as this pains me to say....GO LAKERS!

 

[Branduil]

Man I really am starting to hate the Suns cocky attitude when they havent done shit in the playoffs.

Look who's talking.

 

[Matrix]

Look who's talking.

Where have Rockets players made comments about the Jazz? Rockets are not even close to being a cocky team,T-mac and Yao havent even made it past the first round :\

If you're saying Im talking trash,please point it out.

I laughed earlier tonight cause at one point the Jazz starters were losing to the Rockets scrubs.I think the Rockets can beat the Jazz,but it will be a 6 or 7 game series,but its no sure thing.


edit- or are you talking about Amare being his usual douche self?

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

lol Raps are going to DESTROY Wince Carter.

 

[pilonv1]

The lack of WARRIORS or JAX in the thread title is disappointing. ITS ONLY BEEN 13 YEARS **** HIBATCHI

 

[firex]

I joined the pick n roll league but I'll probably lose, cause I have it going down to mavs/bulls and taking 6 games for the mavs. whatever team makes it out of the West should win this year, unless once again the refs hand the series to the Heat if they make it.

I was just ribbing you about the "Suns have done nothing in the playoffs line."

 

[Matrix]

ahh well my Rockets still have their back to back championships and knocked the Suns on their asses with the kiss of death


I'll always have that no matter how good the present day Suns team is compared to the present day Rockets.

I still stand by my original post about them.

 

[ph33nix]

It's gonna be really tough to support the Heat in the playoffs cause I'm going to hear the end of it about the refs if they win any game. Look! Someone already mentioned it and the game hasn't been played yet.

If Shaq can actually stay on the court every game, Heat in 5.
John Hollinger picked Bulls in 6---this means excellent things.

I'm already smelling another major injury (And not to wade because he's going to get "tummy-ache" regardless of wherever he plays) I mean, we're going to lose Williams or somebody key in the rotation.

Regardless, Chicago plays us well, so I guess if we lose I won't be surprised...just terribly hurt

 

[firex]

I won't troll the heat if they lose or be a sore loser if they win legitly. But if there's a bunch of shady calls they keep getting that determine some games I'll be pissed. It's just annoying when bad refs determine the outcome of a game, no matter the team.

Well, I'd feel the same if we won a bullshit way. It can get really old and annoying though, if people repeatedly complain...even before a series starts. And I know before every series starts before the Heat, there'll be talk about the refs. It has been a really tough season for Heat fans, having to deal with this shit regular season and the fans...and I know that every bad call will be thrown under the microscope. That's just what it's been like for me this year. I don't want my team to be the reason hate the NBA (it pretty much seems like that.)

People should know there's going to be some LOL fouls. And I know some of them will go chicago's way...thanks to #32.


So um...a runner up prize is NBA live 2007? great!

 

[Kak.efes]

West:

Mavs in 5 over the Warriors
Rockets in 7 over the Jazz
Spurs in 6 over the Nuggets
Suns in 5 over the Lakers

East:

Pistons in 4 over the Magic
Bulls in 6 over the Heat
Nets in 7 over the Raptors
Cavs in 4 over the Wizards

The raptors have been playing god awful defence in the last month, it'll probably do them in.

:\

 

[Malleymal]

Playoff basket ball back in Utah! This is the best I have felt since Malone/Stockton. This is the series I wanted, so time will stop when the series gets underway. Hopefully everyone on both teams stay healthy. Jazz 4 - Rockets 1.

That's one hell of a bold prediction..

 

[Master Z]

This is what I was thinking and then I remembered that the Nets don't have anybody to handle Bosh and the Raps have a way deeper squad. I say the Raptors take it in 6 or 7 games.

Should be a fun series Malley

Hopefully, but remember they handled him fairly well in the regular season. Bosh has been waiting for this for four years though, you figure he'll bring it, and bring it often- he's proven he can pass out of the double, so if Bargnani or Parker are left open, it's goodnight for the nets.




.. and for anyone who underestimates how much Torontonians hate Vince Carter

:lol

This series is going to be intense.

 

[Master Z]

I want one of those shirts.

Is that the only way Kobe can beat the suns? by using words Amare has never heard of?

 

[Meier]

****ing Pacers.. we would have beat the Cavs I bet. Pistons have our number and Darko is hurt. We're ****ed.

 

[Malleymal]

Yes it will be my friend!

 

[The Stealth Fox]

Oh ****. I'm excited! I can't wait till Saturday!

 

[methodman]

Do you update after every round? Or do you do it all right now? (i'm We Got Suck)

For those who missed it: JRich posted this for $100,000 (in the SJ Mercury and the SF Chronicle) last season. That's why I love this dude.

 

[dskillzhtown]

I love the first round of the NBA Playoffs. So many games, everyone playing their asses off, performances from superstars, role players stepping up their games. Saturday is going to be great.

What is on the menu for an all-day NBA marathon?

 

[methodman]

gracias senior

 

[Zep]

you got the first 2 on sunday mixed...Cavs gm is first.

 

[Kangu]

I can't wait to see T-Mac in playoff form. Say what you will about him never getting out of the first round but it sure as hell wasn't his fault. The guy is consistently spectacular in the playoffs, controlling the game on both ends of the floor, making plays, cleaning up the glass, getting steals or making shots as need be. Everyone who's a basketball fan should tune in to the Jazz-Rockets series because I guarantee T-Mac is going to put on a show.

I'm also interested in seeing what kind of intensity Yao comes in with. He's very inconsistent when it comes to his level of intensity, but he's proven time and time again that when something sets him off he can go Hulk on opposing centers. He certainly played with determination in big games against Utah (even though we lost) and Phoenix (who always give him fits).

Playoffs baby! I'm so excited.

 

[R_GILL]

Hopefully, but remember they handled him fairly well in the regular season. Bosh has been waiting for this for four years though, you figure he'll bring it, and bring it often- he's proven he can pass out of the double, so if Bargnani or Parker are left open, it's goodnight for the nets.

I am really excited to play the Nets, and kind of scared. Really the worst way to finish this season is to lose to Vince and the Nets.

 

[jobber]

Bulls take out the Heat in the best series of the playoffs

Nets/Pistions East final
Warriors/Spurs final

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Does anybody think there was an NBA fix to have the Bulls lose so Lebron and Wade don't play in the first round???

 

[methodman]

Does anybody think there was an NBA fix to have the Bulls lose so Lebron and Wade don't play in the first round???

I was just thinking about it, but I didn't watch either game so I don't really know. But yeah, I'd say there's something there.

 

[985boi]

Does anybody think there was an NBA fix to have the Bulls lose so Lebron and Wade don't play in the first round???

Nahhhh....there was a lot of offensive fouls but it was going both ways. Bulls was just playing shitty. The Nets wanted the victory more than the Bulls did.

Nah, the Bulls played like crap and let frikken Mikki Moore dominate them...
