Judging from the title of this article, one might assume that I'm going to go right into some kind of extreme bashing rant on why T-Mac and the rest of the Rockets are overrated. How we see this every year from this team blah blah blah and nothing comes from it. Fact is, I love basketball, and while records and/or streaks have never really impressed me that much, I do however, have to tip my hat to the Houston Rockets.This team blows me away. The fact that they lose Yao Ming, YAO MING, the poster child of their franchise, the international icon, the 7’6’’ beast of a man, and still, somehow, continue to win is incredible. The fact that T-Mac, after years of individual success on bad teams, is finally showing his leadership ability on THIS Rockets team is absolutely great.

When people talk about NBA teams from Texas now, it's no longer just the Mavs and Spurs, but the Rockets as well, and I find that great. But records and long streaks mean nothing come playoff time.Just ask the Dallas Mavericks.This feat being performed now by the Rockets, has propelled them up to the front of the Western Conference Standings, behind the Lakers and Spurs.  While 19 wins going on 20 (c'mon it's Atlanta) is certainly causing some in the West to be concerned, one team that has proven that records and streaks don't really matter is the San Antonio Spurs.Yes, this same Spurs team that has quietly grown to become one of the most boring dynasty's of all time is secretly getting healthier and better as the month of March goes on. Parker's back, Manu's lighting it up, and Tim Duncan is being Mr. Fundamental once again, not to mention the addition of Kurt Thomas and the potential signing of Brent Barry.While some “experts” on ESPN (and fans let's be honest) would love to see another team from the West go to the Finals (or just Kobe and the Lakers), Pop and company down in San An know how to win big series and championships. And let's call a spade a spade here; T-Mac doesn't.Has T-Mac ever led a team to the Finals, or even out of the first round of the playoffs in his almost 10 year career? Has T-Mac ever elevated a team by himself much like LeBron or Kobe has done over the past five years? Even with the tallest center in the NBA T-Mac still hasn't accomplished the feat of becoming the next “Shaq and Kobe” of the West, which was suppose to propel the Rockets to dynasty comparisons of the 2000-2002 LA Lakers.My point is this: Pop and Company each year apply the “Spurs rules of winning” when it comes to playoff time, meaning simply they could care less about records or positioning in the standings because each player on that team has the confidence that they can win a championship. Tim Duncan, who should go down in history as one of the best C/PF AND leaders of all time, knows better than to get all caught up in the spotlight of being a dynasty or trying to win 60 games every year. They don't need to do that or need that kind of attention to win, which makes this team so humble and down to earth.

Team basketball, yes TEAM basketball, is how you win playoff games (see 2004 Pistons or last year's Spurs team).As for the Rockets, well it's a wait and see. While I think the streak is certainly good for Houston, and the NBA, in terms of getting on Sportscenter and morning talk shows every day, this team hasn't proven anything to anybody yet That's the sad truth nobody will admit Get this team out of the first round T-Mac That will show everybody something truly great..

There are many books out on Obama, but none, we believe, withthe thoughtfulness and beautiful production values of the OfficialCommemorative Edition.”The team of photojournalists who intimately captured this unprecedentedcelebration was led by former White House photographersDavid Hume Kennerly(Ford) and Robert McNeely(Clinton). Among the almost two dozen otherphotographers represented is Pete Souza, chief White House photographer forObama, who previously worked in Reagan’s White House. Additionally, for thefirst time in an official inaugural book, photographs submitted by the publicare included, recognizing the diverse perspectives of the American people atthis landmark moment.The book features commentary by legendary broadcaster Tom Brokaw, whosepreface states that Obama, “symbolized a new America … longing for anauthentic voice calling for hope in the face of fear.” Text portions alsoinclude a foreword by American Civil Rights leader and Congressman John Lewis(D-GA), and an essay by historian and Robert F.

With recent supernaturally-impressive wins over former champion Rich Franklin and Pride’s Middleweight champion Dan Henderson, Anderson “The Spider” Silva is virtually causing the Middleweight division to lose it’s credibility of actually giving Silva a run for the title. After Patrick Cote’s destruction of Ultimate Fighter winner Kendell Grove, Mike “Quick” Swick’s recent drop to Welterweight, and Evan Tanner’s unpredictable and unforeseen knee to the face, our possible top contender has been reduced to Yushin Okami who holds a blemish on his record from former champ Rich Franklin who was decimated by The Spider twice so far.

Although Okami does hold a freak win over Silva (by disqualification due to an illegal up-kick) I highly doubt Okami has what it takes to overcome Silva’s jujitsu and striking skills. Although Okami has been said to be as strong as an ox in heat, Silva still managed to get the back of an Olympic Greco-Roman Wrestler and choke him out, so I’d have to give Silva’s constantly-improving technique over Okami’s strength for sure. So who does that leave us? How about Middleweight newcomer and Ultimate Fighter winner Michael Bisping? I say after Silva wipes the floor with Okami, Silva vs Bisping should be next in order. Is there a trend visible in the UFC now? After BJ Penn proves that he is an unstoppable force in the Lightweight division with a future win over recently alleged steroid user Sean Sherk, I believe BJ Penn can hold that belt until he begins to develop a waist rash and gives it up. Although the Lightweight division is by far more in-depth with credible contenders in Roger Huerta, Frank Edgar, Kenny Florian, and Thiago Tavares to name a few, I still see BJ Penn as far superior a fighter than the rest of the Lightweight division.
