    How does this whole pick [+8.5] thing work? Are you really picking the Grizz and the Wolves to beat the Rox? Bad move. I don’t think that’s what you are doing though, I think it has something to do with the score. What it has to do with the score, I have no idea. If you are picking who wins, you shouldn’t have picked against my guys when they play crappy teams…we usually take care of bussiness. If your picking against the Rox, take the Suns on Wed night. Rox are TERRIBLE on the back to back and they have only beaten the Suns 2 times since Yao and T-Mac have been together. Not good.

    On a non-Rockets related note: I’m currently listening to the Fixes I missed over the past few days when my only access was dialup, and how have you not talked about J.R. Smith more?? In your “Fastbreak” or “Face off” or “PTI-like” segement (I fotget what you called it, and you guys have changed the name of it from the original podcasts), Skeets, you claimed that Melo will beat Iverson for the scoring title (I think it was you Skeets….or my bad Tas). The reason why I agree with you (and I’m not kidding): JR Smith can not be left open. He is killing teams for doubling Melo. And oh yeah, Melo is just killing people in general. Who does AI have….AI Squared (because I can’t spell his Andre’s last name)can hit a jumper (though he can dunk). JR Smith has become a baller….maybe a poor man’s Richard Jefferson?

    Oh, and the KD interview was one of the funniest things I have ever heard in my entire life. No lie.

    Slim, I like you, so let me break it down:

    You got the right idea. “Minnesota [+8.5] over Houston” means we are picking Minnesota to NOT lose to the Rockets by 9 or more points. If the Wolves lose by less than 9 — or win for that matter — we win our bet. Follow?

    Our PTI-like segment is called ‘One-on-One’. (Although Tas sometimes pretends we’re Mexican and refers to it as ‘Juan-one-Juan’.)

    I backed the ‘Melo Man for that scoring title question. (Tas took Iverson.) Great point about JR helping Carmelo though.

    And yeah, I’m convinced Kelly Dwyer might be the 2nd funniest person in basketball. (Jerry Stackhouse will always be #1…)

    I think my fucking head just exploded.

    oh and skeets, Stackhouse is pure evil.

    i got a chance to talk to Salim during halftime warmups, i told him how good it was to see him getting minutes. Obviously he responded with 8 points on 3-6 shooting and 2-2 from distance.

    best shooter in basketball…there is no argument.

    Did you tell him to read The Basketball Jones?

    didn’t have time, his coaches probably don’t like it when he walks off the court to chat. some people sitting around me were confused why i was wearing salim’s arizona jersey under the hoodie. especially when came over to give some love. i hope gil was jealous.
