    Even though the Rockets have played HORRIBLE this season, we are only 2 games out of the playoffs.

    7 LA Lakers 15 12 <----You know they suck.
    8 Portland 13 13 <----Overachievers.
    Houston 14 15 <----Underachievers

    you can say it's looking on the bright side..but when i see those three records and where we were slotted to be it's just sad to see that's all.

    Under achievers?

    For a bunch of old men running up and down the court (minus Yao and T-Mac) I would say they are probably overachieving.

    My 70 year old dad might decide his shot at the NBA has not passed him by after all thanks to the Rockets and JVG.

    don't start with that bull. We're underachieving and we can only get better.

    Underachieving: Sure
    Only get better: I am not sure, it can get worse also.

    Who slotted us to be better then we are presently? You guessed it......the so called experts in the sports media. Which I might add most of whom have never played sports in their lifes....lol :D

    The experts aside. I think everyone on this board slotted us higher then ninth seed at the moment.

    Some things in life are bad
    They can really make you mad
    Other things just make you swear and curse.
    When you're chewing on life's gristle
    Don't grumble, give a whistle
    And this'll help things turn out for the best...

    And...always look on the bright side of life...
    Always look on the light side of life...

    If life seems jolly rotten
    There's something you've forgotten
    And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
    When you're feeling in the dumps
    Don't be silly chumps
    Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

    And...always look on the bright side of life...
    Always look on the light side of life...

    For life is quite absurd
    And death's the final word
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.
    Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
    Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

    So always look on the bright side of death
    Just before you draw your terminal breath

    Life's a piece of ****
    When you look at it
    Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
    You'll see it's all a show
    Keep 'em laughing as you go
    Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

    And always look on the bright side of life...
    Always look on the right side of life...
    (Come on guys, cheer up!)
    Always look on the bright side of life...
    Always look on the bright side of life...
    (Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
    Always look on the bright side of life...
    (I mean - what have you got to lose?)
    (You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
    What have you lost? Nothing!)
    Always look on the right side of life...

    Bright side is we are 8-4 in December. At that pace, we will finish 7-10 games above .500.

    The easiest month, by far on their schedule, and the best they can do is scratch back to .500, maybe :/

    Also, it is 8-5.
