Basketball is all about matchups, and if you want to see competitive basketball, when Phoenix plays Houston you should treat it like a bad car wreck and look the other way. Some teams just can't hang with other teams, and that is definitely the case with the Rockets and the Suns.
The Thursday before All Star weekend, the Rockets visited Phoenix and were treated to a monumental ass kicking, losing by 34 points in a game where they were down by as many as 46 in the third quarter. Tonight in Houston, the home team was determined not to let that happen again. They jumped out to an early 10-point lead at 25-15...and then proceeded to get outscored by 27 from that point en route to a 17-point loss. For those with a calculator, that means Phoenix beat Houston by a combined 51 points the last two times they played. Thankfully for Houston, they don't have to face the Suns for the rest of the season.
I bring this up because I think it's ridiculous to talk about Houston as a legitimate playoff contender. It's true that coming into tonight's game the Rockets were 10-2 in their last 12 games. Impressive, right? Maybe, until you look and see that they were 3-11 in the 14 games before that. The Rockets are a bad team with a bad coach and will definitely not make the playoffs this year. I know they have two stars in T-Mac and Yao, but the Rockets are 7 games below .500 and going nowhere, so can the NBA please stop hyping up the Rockets and putting them on national TV? Great, glad we got that settled, thanks.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
