Midwest Division Champs 2009

Sorry to open another thread since it's being discussed in many threads but I feel we need to seriously think about what the Rockets can do here. If they win tonight, and they WILL WIN TONIGHT , it will be our first Division Championship since 1994. It's rare and even if we will not become NBA champions, we will at least be champions in the Division. I will take that any year, especially this year with a great team and a legendary player in Deke in his last year. What way better than to end your career as a Champ, possibly double Champ !!!!

I still cannot believe all the talk in here about losing this last game, not wanting home court advantage, thinking this is a bigger for Dallas than it is to us, worrying more about Utah than about our own HOUSTON ROCKETS and last but not least..............NOT wanting to be DIVISION CHAMPIONS OF 2009 !!! Seriously, why do people worry and let fear, emotions, take over their rationale ? It is spirit over body, mind over matter.

Think about the 94 playoff run,
What if Maxwell had played in fear during the 2nd half of game 3 in 1994 @ Phoenix ?
What if the Rockets had feared Stockton and Malone in the WCF of 1994 ? What if they had feared the dirty Knicks ?
We wouldn't be CLUTCH CITY and there would be no CHAMPIONSHIP in 1994 !!

Think about the 95 playoff run,
what if the Rockets had feared the Jazz in the first round ?
What if they had feared the Suns with the better record and no home court advantage ?
What if they had feared the Spurs ? We wouldn't have that Double Clutch CHAMPIONSHIP no way !!

Let's take at least one Championship home to Houston and possibly two. No more talk of not getting out of the first round, it's a non-issue. It is even ridiculous to talk about it like Artest has said many times. We have to think WCF / Finals, not first or second round. Do not fear Rockets fans, we can take the Mavs, Hornets, Spurs, Blazers and Nuggets any day. The WCF / NBA Finals is our aim and we should settle for nothing less. I am realistic so NBA Finals is probably out of our reach, but we can do it. Every analyst, commentator, executive, scout etc has said the ONLY team that can give Lakers problems are.............YES, YOUR HOUSTON ROCKETS !!

Anything is possible, just believe people, believe....

Let's cheer on this great team tonight at 2 AM, Europe time , and support them to the fullest so please no more talk, only action. We will be
MIDWEST DIVISION CHAMPS OF 2009, the first time since 1994 !!

And ride Yao and Deke all the way to the finish line, wherever that may be

 

My bad, that's what it was until 2004 Now it's Southwest Division
