Rockets won only one playoff series in last 17 years, second worst to Botcats among 30 NBA teams. But Botcats was founded merely 10 years ago....
I think I have a legitimate argument here. Houston is a joke sports city... especially over the last decade+ Texans lmao worst team in the league 3 years already in their short lifespan Rockets lmao can't get out of the 1st round EVER Astros well... obvious
Wait guys I think you are all piling on OP for the wrong reason. The original thread title was just "CURSED". I don't know why, but the title changed.
Don't know if "cursed" is the word in this instance; what the Rockets were was "unlucky". We should have won games 1, and 3, and 4, and 6. Miracles shots by the opposition. Botched plays on our part. Bad calls from the refs. I would say that it was a minor miracle that Portland won this series.
Mods, please Ban this thread, delete this user, lock this post. Clutch city had nothing to do with the above mentioned players. You Mega-Fail at Houston sports history. Please return to Cleveland or Portland or Utah, or wherever you come from.
At least the draft is next week... And we draft Blake fu**ing Bortles!!!! You know it's going to happen, god I hate this city.
Sorry for the rant... I guess it'd be one thing of Houston literally sucked at every sport (outside of baseball lol). But they don't. The Texans and Rockets actually have legitimate talent.. enough to where they SHOULD make deep runs into the playoffs... but nope. If they even make it, they get bounced early. Why? Terrible coaching, terrible execution, no leadership. Texans: QB has sucked, but how you gonna have arguably best RB in the league, best WR in the league, and best DE in the league and not even come close to a deep run in the playoffs? (I'm talking over the last 3-4 years here). The Texans are an anomaly. They don't know HOW to win. They don't know HOW to make the big plays when it matters. This is why I'm so for Johnny Manziel. At least take the gamble on a guy who can come in and bring that swagger, confidence, winner/playmaker mentality. He can single handedly turn this franchise around for the next 10 years. Clowney is nice and all, but is he gonna single handedly turn them around? If JJ Watt couldn't do it without a QB, then Clowney won't be able to either. Just my 2 cents. We draft a damn D line guy every freaking year!!! Mario Williams, Amobi Okoye, JJ Watt, and probably other defensive guys I don't know of. All of which has inevitably lead to the EXACT same position - #1 in the NFL Draft to do it all over again with Clowney... SO FRUSTRATING Rockets: How you gonna have arguably the best center in the league and best shooting guard in the league and not make a run in the playoffs? Talk about recipe for success... well the Rockets don't know how to cook. Here are some top Center + SG combos to win the title. You'd think ours would AT LEAST make a mini-run past 1st round. Shaq + Kobe Shaq + Wade Duncan + Parker/Ginobili (a stretch, but still) Hakeem + Clyde People say I'm a terrible fan for my home teams. I tell them they're naive and blind for believing differently. Getting real sick of this "maybe next year" BS.
