    yeah i've never understood the strategy. if it led to lots of win, i would get it, but it doesn't. drive to the basket. we're 2 for 2 on lebron not driving in quarter 1 of a series and getting blown out in quarter 1 of a series and eventually losing the game.

    also he is like 3-12 in road game 1's, with people usually saying he's trying to figure things out. i don't know if that's true, but if it is, everyone else seems to be able to just play and win game 1. i guess you can't really argue with his series results, but it's just a weird strategy.

    Pretty much. If they hadn't already fired Casey, he would've been gone tomorrow after Toronto management witnessed this beatdown.

    Then you know about 1994 when Seattle (the Rockets' nemesis) lost in the 1st round to the Nuggets. Many of us thought the Rockets had a championship in the bag because it was clear none of the teams left could compete with them.

    Choke City was born after they fell behind 0-2 to the Suns in the 2nd round after blowing big leads in both games (at home). They also fell behind 3-2 in the Finals to a Knicks team that wasn't very good.

    All I'm saying is don't be overconfident if they make the Finals and play the Celtics.

N get some dranks at that bar I forget what's it call. Island something next to engine room

    Oh trust me Houston sport disappointment has been pounded into me. But the stros broke the curse. Plus this rockets era has has it's fair share of defeat which gives them that hunger. Hunger is the best key...hunger paired with talent. I believe. I also believe n good vibes. I'm not gonna be scared to dream big. I hate that about Houston fans. It becomes self fulfilling. On the Astros run any lil bad thing that happen...hell even when the rockets lose one freaking game in a series it's always "Houston sports" almost punched a guy at shamrocks during the world series for saying that ****. Believe in ur team

    I think most of us believe in the team but realize it won't be easy and there will be plenty of drama. It's the Rockets' way.
