Earlier today my wife prepared a wonderful meal of baked chicken, rice and gravy, greens, corn, & cornbread. And afterwards she said she wanted some cookie cake, so I thought since I was going by the grocery store already I would swing by and grab something. All they had there were a few different templates (icing borders with nothing in the middle), the templates were orange, pink, green, and then one stood out to me; it was a familiar red and yellowish gold, and it immediately brought to mind all of these thoughts about this years season. I do realize that things aren't looking good for this series, but considering where things were last year when we made the lottery for the 3rd time in 3 years, I can't complain. I also thought about the argument from last year about was it better to tank and get the 12-14th pick or make the playoffs as the 8th seed and almost assuredly lose, and my feelings are stronger now than they were last year, you ALWAYS opt for the playoffs! It's the best part of the NBA season! For the next week we'll see some things we'll enjoy as Rockets fans and some things that we definitely won't, but when it's all said and done we made it to the playoffs and had a good year. Let's not let the bleak circumstances inhibit our ability to enjoy our hometown Rockets being in the playoffs. And whenever we may think things are going bad, just remember that "things could always be worse" (see Toronto Raptors) .... so after thinking about alot of that this is what I brought home: Spoiler
yeah it actually tasted a lot better than I thought it was. 8.48@ Wally World (I know Great American Cookie company tastes better, but their not nearly as close.)
