Kryptonite in superman’s back
So Dwight Howard is done for the season and will undergo surgery to repair the bulging disk in his back, so whats next for superman? Will he stay in Orlando or will he split and go play in New York (not with the Knicks but the Nets) where it seems like Deron Williams is likely going to leave? So many questions and now the Magic are right back where they started, with no firm answer on where Dwight is headed. Dwight went from the leagues biggest kid who worked hard and always had a smile on his face to acting like a "Big Baby" (no offense Glen Davis). He has handled this whole situation about as bad as you could he is one TV special on what his "decision" will be away from taking the crown as the bad guy away from Lebron. I hate to say it but told you so Magic you should of got rid of him when you could of got something for him, but now your SOL.

Rockets down for the count
Well there was a slim to none chance of the Rockets making the playoffs and slim is creeping out the door. The Rockets have lose 6 in a row and unless they win 3 straight and the Jazz and Suns lose 2 of their remaining 3 games respectively the Rockets wont make it. Now if they lose 1 more game and the Jazz and Suns win 1 more then the Rockets are locked into the 10 worst record in the west and that means another Patrick Patterson/Marcus Morris type player in the draft and with the expiring contracts of Courtney Lee and Goran Dragic these Rockets are in for an interesting off season. The season is all but over and now off season questions will start with what do you do with Martin and Lee?? I hope they trade Martin and keep Lee, Lee is younger faster and PLAYS DEFENSE something Martin didn't know existed in the NBA.

Astros swat the Nats
Well what a way to end a 4 game losing streak then to rout the Nationals 11 to 4. In the Astros win they also made a little history hitting 3 triples in one inning something they only did once last year and it took a whole game to hit 3 triples. The Nationals got as close as 5 to 4 then the Astros scored 5 runs in the 6th and another one late to win 11 to 4. The bats for the Stros came alive and really haven't been that bad as i expected all season and they did alot better with runners on going 9 for 12 with runners in scoring position. This team was not suppose to have 5 wins this fast or average 3 runs a game or have a 3+ run differential 2 weeks into the season but they have and are doing it, so lets see what else these young Astros can do and how long they can keep playing better than we expected. Root Root Root.

Rockets running out of fuel
With the loss last night to the Mavs the Rockets playoffs hopes are on life support. They must win out and have a few things fall their way in order to get the 8th and final spot in the playoffs. I'm not one to be pointing fingers for a loss but the Rockets did all they could and the refs are blowing bad calls now i know every team thinks there team doesn't get calls but look at the tape and see how many times the opposing teams gets BS calls in their favor. These guys are professionals and the Rockets nor their head coach wont complain they just keep working and have a few things fall their way this team could enter the playoffs and be a tough match up for the Spurs or OKC in the first round.
