Von Wafer. What a name, right? For Lakers fans the name brings up icky feelings. You see, the Lakers took Mr. Wafer a pick ahead of Warriors star guard, Monta Ellis. Ellis has turned into one of my favorite players in the league, while Wafer has been tossed around from team to team for the last few seasons.
Anyhow, despite my obvious hurt feelings over the Lakers missing an opportunity to have Monta on their squad, I was happy to see that Wafer finally secured a home with Houston Rockets. Wafer has probably been on the best roll of his career as of late, scoring double figures in all four of his games this month. But last night, he got a little too big for his britches and ended up embarrassing himself a bit. Here's the footage:
After I saw Wafer get hung like that, images of a classic NBA commercial passed through my mind. See the commercial after the jump.

The Rockets ala LA are in need of a real playmaker
or a pg as well right now Houston has none, for real
so are the Lakers.

Hey reggyray , a.k.a. PHIL ! what's your problem ?
Just one question, why LA was blown out last year by the Celts ?
In the history of the finals of the NBA no team lost by
that margin and that really was an embarrasement for any
team finals or not , plus the Celts coming back after they
were down by 37 ???
Your anger has to do with your loving Lakers not with me
and by the way I don't hide my name for this blogs.

I guess it's not that important that the next time up the court Wafer drilled a dagger 3 that basically put the game away. phhht.

I don't know why Wafer hasn't stuck with a team.. because watching him play...I noticed he has a good 3pt shot, has a quick first step, isn't afraid to take it to the hole, and he can jump like mad. I think at this point I would rather have him in the game than Tmac. (let him rest until he's 100%)

frank mate omg hahaha did you read anything I said? my problem is you buddy - what happened in game 6 is totally irrelevant i never said anything about the celtics in my comment and you metioning last year's finals doesn't serve any purpose. see, what you keep saying is non-sensical, as it does not counter, or even relate, to what I brought up. what I brought up was how stupid your comments are how bout you explain why you seem to think alston/mcgrady are better than kobe/gasol (that argument is a complete joke anyway; gasol kobe > mcgady/alston, by a mile), or even better than that show me a comments of yours THAT MAKE SENSE and has a PROPER POINT! for example here's a bit of what you said: "I don't hide my name for this blogs". "this blogs" DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. why is 'blogs' in plural is 'this' is a word that specifies ONE THING. illiterate much? you say before that i am angry at the lakers wtf? why would i be angry at the team i barrick for, for having the best record in league (tied with cleveland)? hahaha celtics fans would be more pissed at their team then laker fans would be pissed at the lakers seeing as how they've lost so many games the past few weeks. in short it was a stupid, and completely irrelivent thing to say frank a.k.a the illiterate one. i'll stop now becuase i don't think you can really handle an intelligent contention (you probably don't even know what contention means lol)

think he will pull it off , this year for sure, go figure.
