Lift Off in Houston

The "Rockettes" won their 16th straight game last night :o With MVP candidate James "Beard" Harden and Chris Paul "CP3" (God, I love nicknames), H now have the best record in the league.

That has always been a quality franchise in Houston. From Moses Malone to Clyde Drexler and the "Twin Towers" (you don't hear that nickname much anymore) of Hakeem Olajawon and Ralph Sampson, with whom they won two NBA championships, to Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, down to the present day Houston has always been an aggressive, model franchise.

Miami lost in Washington 117-113 in extra time. Weirdest stat sheet for the "Heat", all five starters in double digits in the minus rating, five of the six reserves with plusses. Erik Spoelstra does not have a handle on his lineups.
