    Man.. Tell you the truth.. Winning sure is good..

    SHOULD WE TANK OR NOT!!!!

    I say make a run to the playoffs. Then trade our draft pick and MObley to get like a good pick.

    Othella Harrington, Kenny Thomas, Cuttino Mobley, Sam Cassell, Michael Dickerson... With picks like that, who needs the lottery?

    ------------------
    WE WILL WATCH THEM FALL.

    Right on.Rudy and CD can find the talent.Kenny Thomas is a good example of that he will be known as the steal of the draft.

    I never said tank on purpose, just let the young kids play.

    They are learning in a hurry.

    I am just glad that Thomas is getting his just due, I have been SCREAMING for him to get some time. He has the best court awareness of any of the Rockets, and he rebounds with ferocity. I like him.

    Like that feeling, huh?

    Well, get used to it because this team isn't going to the lottery.

    Will we make the playoffs? There is a chance. This ride ain't over yet boys and girls!

    Tanking is not acceptable. End of story.

    I'm not gonna get cocky just yet. Tonight was merely a stepping stone. It's all about building on a game like this.

    Damn, Dream sure did look tired out there.

    No, this did not feel good.

    I don't mind us playing well, as I've said before. But we didn't need the W tonight. To get to the lottery, we needed the L.

    We're not going to the playoffs this year, so what's the point of a meaningless rise of 3 or 4 places in the rankings? All that does is take us farther away from drafting the players we need.

    The whole thing has me really depressed . . .

    NOT!

    EAT MY SHORTS, SCOTTIE PIPPEN! WOO HOO! Get used to the smell of Steve Francis' shoes in your face and Kenny Thomas' fat butt in your rib cage. I LOVE THIS GAME!

    Don't EVER underestimate the heart of a champion-two-or-three-years-after-we-pick-up-one-more-great-player-in-the-lottery.

    Mobley would be a top 10 pick in this years draft knowing what we know now. With awsome talent evaluators as the rockets have, what better can the rockets do with higher picks. Last year Dickerson was their man, even if they would have had a 7 or 10 th pick.

    We'd just boo the rocks for taking a guy with the 6th pick that no scout even had on their top 100, then everyone would say how the top pick was the bust and the rockets pick would win rookie of the year.

    Who needs high draft picks. Everyone but the rocks and Jazz. The Jazz may be even better than the rockets or a close second. Talk about using the draft to fill up needs.
