    1.) We have been "in" every game. We have not been blown out and we have led in every game.

    2.) We are a much better three point shooting team than we have shown. It should get better.

    3.) Our schedule is about to get really really easy.

    4.) Numerous other western conference playoff contending teams are not exactly running away with it (Nuggets 2-2, Jazz 2-2, Suns 1-3, Thunder 2-2, Grizzlies 2-3)

    5.) Yao is looking better than expected. (for me anyway atleast)

    Go Rockets :grin:

    We Suck were 0-4 our center hasn't finished a season in over half a decade.

    Our coach is likely to retire after this season, we have no stars just role-players.

    We are aging and not getting any better. Younger teams in the West will overtake us soon if they haven't already.

    Also we've won 1 playoff series in the last decade!

    Whats a debbie downer?

    we are 0-4 to start the season, what else can be worse than that.

    when you realise that, you will be able to just relax and see how things would fold out.

    The blown out game will come as we lose more games and mentally collapse.

    really?

    say hello to 0-5.

    lakers are 5-0,

    we're still gonna make the playoffs.
    a trade is def in the works.
    we still have daryl morey.
    we don't have tmac & rafer.
    we don't have walt williams & kelvin cato.
    we have deeeeep talent, very good starting talent.
    82 games is sufficient time for the rockets to get these talented pieces to come together and play well enough to make the playoffs fairly easily and contend well into the playoffs.

    losing games further destroys chemistry.

    (1) Our first halves have at least looked good.
    (2) Jordan Hill looks active on the boards and even showed signs of being a decent shotblocker.
    (3) KMart was perfect from the line until tonight.
    (4) Brad Miller didn't play tonight :p
    (5) CLee and CBud have shown chemistry.
    (6) Lowry's back.
    (7) Scola's offense.
    (8) Yao.
    (9) Team FT shooting.
    (10) Most importantly - it's only been 4 games.

    The world has not yet ended with the Rockets' first four losses.

    I'm surprised the team hasn't made a suicide pact yet to be fulfilled before the Spurs game. After losing their first 4 games how could they ever think it is possible to pull off a comeback with only 78 games remaining.

    Yao is not better then expected. Defense is very shonky indeed.

    A losing streak at the start of the season is a helluva lot better than a losing streak at the end of the season.
    The team's still trying to get to know each other. People have got to lay off the panic button.

    1. We'd Be able to have a Top 4 pick

    2. Most Likely that pick is going to be 1st or 2nd

    3. At first or second pick we have Harrison Barnes and Perry Jones, 2 Small
    Forwards with amazing talent and we'd have someone to build around and replace Battier.

    4. We look smart not extending Brook's Contract.

    5. We can still be the Mavs who won 67 Games after a 0-4 Start, and losing in the first round.(0.0000000001% chance)

    6. We have a chance be the Championship Rockets team who went 0-4 to start and won it all in the end. (0.0000000001% chance)

    Thats all the positive things I've gathered from this 0-4 Start so far.
