Well after three weeks of sub-par Sawyer-isms due mainly to the unexplainable disappearance of 85% of the show’s cast, including The Blot’s favorite character James “Sawyer” Ford, this weekly feature is coming to a swift and abrupt end. But fear not loyal The Blot Says… readers, because every end marks a new beginning! Thankfully CBS moved swiftly to restart their highly rated line-up of Monday night comedies, which can only mean one thing…the return of The Blot’s Barney-ism of the Week! Tonight was a true return to form for How I Met Your Mother and hopefully marks the show’s eventual renewal. So while I won’t be forcing lame Lost-isms on you anymore, be on the look out for some hilarious Barney-isms tomorrow. I promise it'll be legend, wait for it...

Houston Rockets Take Consecutive Winning Streak To 22 Games With Defeat Of Lakers

The Houston Rockets - Bobby Jackson, Rafter Alston, Tracy McGrady and Luis Scola
Well to say The Blot was disappointed in the ending of the Rockets vs. Lakers game on Sunday is an understatement. Without Pau Gasol the Lakers looked anemic and very weak in the front court. Considering the team they were playing only gets 15-20 min out of their center makes the loss even more discouraging. But, I have to give the Rockets and the city of Houston credit in that it was by far the loudest and most excited regular season NBA crowd I have ever witnessed. The stadium erupted with every made basket and the crowd was truly electric.

The NBA All Time Consecutive Win Streaks List
The rockets have now extended their winning streak to 22 games, just 11 behind the all time record, and must face at home the top team in the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics. What a great matchup this game turned out to be with the Rockets now owning soul possession of the best record in the Western Conference. The Celtics will be without their All-Star guard Ray Allen, but I still expect this match-up to be a hard one for the Rockets with Celtics forward Kevin Garnett nearly unstoppable.

At this point I would love to see the Rockets continue to win, if for no other reason than it makes watching Rockets games actually watchable, especially since The Blot cares so little for the team. Regardless, I still see it highly unlikely that Tracy McGrady and the Rockets make it out of the first round of the NBA playoffs this year. Why have it be any different than every other season of TMac’s career? But, if the Rockets can hold on to the top spot in the Western Conference then maybe, just maybe, they have a shot to beat a team like Golden State or Denver.
