It's not over yet. The Houston Rockets have extended their win streak to a franchise high 19 GAMES. Winning this many games in a row is almost unheard of in the NBA. And they're doing it without out their (supposed) marquee player, Yao Ming. Plus, a rookie they drafted at the very end of the 1st round, Carl Landry, is playing out of his mind! Tonight, they will be going for 20 wins, as they host the New Jersey Nets. If you get a chance to watch these guys, DO IT! It's an exhilerating experience.

In other NBA news, it seemed that the Shaq-to-Phoenix trade was a bust, as the Suns won just one out of their last six games since Shaq joined the team. He just didn't fit in with their fast-paced, run-and-gun offense. However, if you've followed Shaq's career, you know one thing -- he saves it all for the playoffs. This is no hunch either. He literally admits this stuff, saying things like 'I think I'll keep resting until the playoffs' or 'The season doesn't start until the playoffs. Also, last night, the Suns won a convincing game against San Antonio. And San Antonio is the team that the Suns can't seem to get past in the playoffs. So maybe it seems like the Suns may have made a smart move in acquiring Shaq. It will be exciting to watch this scenario play out.

There was a marquee rivalry match-up in college hoops this weekend. Some even consider North Carolina/Duke to be a fiercer rivalry than Yankees/Red Sox. Primarily because of the close proximity between the two schools. These people hate each other, and students have to camp out for months just to get tickets for this showdown. In this battle, #1 North Carolina prevailed over #5 Duke on Saturday 76-68. However, they could meet again in the ACC Tournament (and maybe even the March Madness Tourney). Tournament selection is on Sunday, March 16th. 

And the most notable news of the week -- Brett Favre's retirement. After 17 great years, he's finally had enough. He didn't win a Super Bowl in his final year, but he's certainly going out on a high note, leading the Packers back to elite football status. The suspense of who will draft Favre in your fantasy league (and in what round), has finally come to an end. His presence will be missed in Wisconsin and on Sundays in September.
