Brent Barry News

I've been talking with the folks over at The Dream Shake since this morning. They're on to an idea that before recent events seemed near-unthinkable. They're pondering shopping Shane Battier.

University of Central Florida star Jermaine Taylor was selected with the 32nd overall pick in today's NBA Draft, but he was traded from the Washington Wizards to the Houston Rockets minutes after being selected.

Lakers 89, Rockets 70 Rarely do I have these, but there was one point in the game where I knew this wasn't going to be the Rockets' afternoon.

Kobe Bryant relishes Game 7s, but this is one he probably didn't expect to be playing.

There's a high price to pay for stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kevin Bacon to get courtside seats for an L.A. Lakers playoff game -- like almost being smeared by Houston Rocket Brent Barry when he dove into the stands during last night's game.

Von Wafer was a hero in the first round, scoring 21 points in 27 minutes in Game 2 and sparking the Rockets with an emotional return in the series-clinching Game 6 just two days after suffering a bulging disc in his lower back.

The journey continues? Not Monday night, it didn't. The Lakers, who gave out "The journey begins" T-shirts in the first round, gave out "The journey continues" T-shirts before Game 1 of their second-round series with the Houston Rockets, but the itinerary just got changed.

Can Houston win series against Los Angeles? Yao's play will be the key. The sight of Yao Ming crumbling to the floor and grabbing his knee Monday night was the worst-case scenario.

The final stats didn't tell the whole story. They never do with the Rockets, a team that has shined since losing its leading scorer and is captained by a player who averages around seven points and five rebounds a game.

Von Wafer Out: He's not a starter, and he's just averaging a modest 10.6 ppg so far in the series, but the high-flying super sub who has energized the Rockets twice in the series, will not play in tonight's game due to back spasms .

Houston Rockets guard Von Wafer has been ruled out for tonight's Game 6 playoff contest against the Portland Trailblazers due to muscle spasms in his lower back.

Once again the Houston Rockets find themselves in a similar scenario: playing as the No.

A few posts below this one is CDUB's response to a couple of questions we had regarding last night's matchup.

On paper, the Houston Rockets certainly have the talent to do what they did against the Portland Trailblazers but I have to be honest, I didn't think they could do it like this.

The Portland Trailblazers have finally made it into the postseason again after their streak of 21 straight appearances ended in 2001... by Bhavik Darji 17 reads The Portland Trailblazers have finally made it into the postseason again after their streak of 21 straight appearances ended in 2001.

Considering Yao Ming's flawless shooting in Houston's playoff-opening victory over Portland, the Trail Blazers are rethinking their strategy for the Rockets' towering center.
