HOW are the Rockets able to keep Asik and Dwight?

I dont get it. Asik is a starter around more than half the league. How do they keep him there?

Not sure, but they need to put Asik on Lamarcus Aldridge all series. Terrence Jones just can't match up with him.

I was really surprised at how the rest of their team answered up last night because Aldridge was on fire and it just didn't matter - they literally BURIED Portland. Until the last few minutes.

I actually had to give Howard some props because at times he looked dominant in the paint. NOT offensively mind you, but otherwise.

Rockets gave Asik a backend loaded contract to sign him away from Chicago. Nobody wants to touch it. He's way overpriced for next season. They did the same thing with Lin.

LA did it again tonight. Averaging 44 a game in this series.

Aldridge is amazing. When he wanted a board he just took it. He was the man out there.

Yep - As a Rocket fan, I hated it. As a basketball fan, it was very impressive Back to back games with extremely good play by LA. I hate my NBA team getting beat by a Horn.
