    Remember how the board went crazy when Artest got traded in Houston. Everyone was like WOW! We are now one of the best team in the league. Some even thought that we would be ahead of the Lakers. We werent even talking about the first round. We were only talking about getting to the WCF and Finals.

    Now, T-Mac came up with his season ending injury and then Alston just got traded for some craps. 2008-2009 Rockets team may be the most disappointing Rockets team ever and also, the best team to never get healthy and play together.

    I would say the year with Pippen was more disappointing. Or the years around that year, but this one is definately up there.

    I had exact opposite feeling. I did not think Rockets can contend with Rafer playing 30 minutes a night no matter who you bring in. Now with new PGs, we might win something.

    I remember countless knee-jerk Rafer threads after many of games this season. hmmm.....now it seems like we just traded Kenny Smith.

    TMAC's injury is FAKE!
    The injury he claims cannot be shown as negative on MRI. I play with MRI images every day.

    You guys are so ****ing pessimistic. Am I the only one here who isn't baaaaaawing over Alston being traded for Lowry.

    The season isn't over. Things can happen.

    I have that feeling every offseason just to be dissapointed when playoff time comes.

    I couldn't of said it any better myself. I've thought this way for a while now and even if this is not the immediate answer at least it will pave the way for the Rockets to make a significant upgrade at PG sooner rather than later.
