    Honestly, you've got a distinct posting pattern that suggests you don't. It is what it is.

    Here are your own words.

    I'm not saying it's any sort of indictment on you or anything but in your own words you don't seem to get any real enjoyment out of the regular season. I'm not sure how many other ways there are to interpret that statement.

    Regardless, it's your experience not mine. Cheers.

    Seriously, it's not a big deal. I hope you do enjoy the regular season a lot. :)

    Okay, now I think it finally sunk in and I'm loving it!! So amazing what we're doing here with all the injuries. Would love to attribute this to McHale and the coaching staff, but it's all on the players baby. Still cannot be too hard on our coaches, 51 wins so far with all that has happened, Harden is not that great, or is he ;) Best regular season since 08-09 in terms of feel and how we just cannot be out in the 1st round, it just cannot happen, we got this!!!

    There are bad bumps and there are necessary bumps. This falls into the latter category.

    I love D Antoni saying 60 would be nice. Not celebrating 50.

    but the rockets play so dumb
    Harden turns the ball over too much
    they don't play like the spurs

    Someone on one of those stupid espn shows said that Houston was the healthiest team all season in order to dismiss their success (Brian Windhorst i think) and i don't have anything to back that up but i felt like we had our share of injuries and then some. Anyone know how to look that up?

    The last two years. . . . Golden State has been the healthiest team in the NBA

    Umm...yeah Waffle House Windhorst is correct, because, unlike the Cavs, Spurs, Warriors, Clippers, the Rockets have not had to deal with losing All Stars/All NBA/MVP guys like Kyrie, Love, Durant, Paul, Griffin, Aldridge go down, and they don't give their stars "DNP-Rest"

    This is because, other than the obvious one, they don't have any of these types of players.

    We have to rest freaking Nene. The Cavs/Warriors rest an all NBA player having to rely on mere all Stars to carry the load. Tough life! Lucky Rockets!

    Yep, It was Windhorst on ESPN's The Jump. They are trying to pull out all the stops to discredit everything the Rockets are doing this year. He was referring to COY I think.
