Relax fellows...it will be fine

Sports are supposed to be fun. However, we love our team and are f****** pissed to go out to this same team again and again. “Run it back” and all that nonsense. Blow this up, we need to reset. This team doesn’t have the heart (outside of a couple individual players). They need to rethink this philosophy of play and our team. Disheartening.

It’s not life altering or anything, but I am a bit sick of this team not showing up for the biggest games. That’s why we are fans - fanatics. It can still make you upset, it’s obviously not going to take over my life, but when you follow a team for 25+ years... it’s tough

 

Yeah, in times like this, you have to step back and realize this **** does not matter. Rooting for the Rockets doesn't affect your money or your family. That's what I have to keep telling myself.

Another thing (Not that I am holding my breath): Dirk came back and won a championship the year after he was humiliated losing to an 8th seed.

I don't have that patience.

 

I'm right there with you bro. I'm out, I think this time for good. These last five years have been a colossal waste of time and resources. I'm not doing this anymore

 

We agree for once @SamFisher . I’m not upset, I expected this. Didn’t really shock me.

I watched it to appreciate the hustle and fire in tucker, rivers, and harden to some extent .

Told myself the same thing, this is entertainment can’t let it affect me. Stay positive guys

 

Sam -- you're absolutely right. Sports are stupid. We are just spectators and have no impact on the game. If the storyline is not enjoyable, no point in sticking around.

 

Agreed. Rocket's will take the position as the team that won the most games against the Warriors.

Warriors have Curry, Thompson, Green and Freak'ing Durant. Deep down we all know they are a much more talented team and it's not fair to demand Harden to beat them.

 

Thanks.

We will be fine. You don't knick's fans go crazy because knicks not making the playoff.

We are just not good enough.

 

First thing I did was go tuck in my daughter and kiss her goodnight. I recommend the same, find someone you care about and spend some time with them. Step back from this one bad thing and feel how much else there is in your life. Peace.

 

Harden and CP3 are going to get massacred by the press for this failure. So we all feel that the Rockets would have won last year if CP3 hadn't gotten hurt in Game 5. Now, we have a dream scenario in which KD gets hurt and can't play Game 6 and we can't even beat the Warriors on our homecourt?? Pathetic and you know, I am not going to have a problem seeing Harden and CP3 get skewered by the media over this latest failure. I find it hard to believe that Trevor Ariza made that big of a difference but maybe he did.

 

Its the Philosophy that has to change. We need a championship philosophy. We put a team together on the fly. The Warriors had their team the entire year. We need to commit to a team at training camp so that thru the regular season we are getting better

 

At least we are not Celtics fans.

 

Yikes many of my recent posts didn’t age well. Clearly it’s disappointing and the front office has some difficult decisions to make this offseason. Also, I like winners and players that play with fire, grit, toughness, focus, clutch genes. May need to blow this up. Sheesh.

 

So true. The Nba means nothing. Nothing at all to any of us.

Why are any of us so invested in this money making machine that was designed to extract resources from our pockets? The players get paid, the owners get paid, the media gets paid. The only suckers in this whole thing is us... the fans.

 

I really don't like saying this but just like the teams that had to deal with Bird and the Celtics and Magic and the Lakers, we are stuck having to deal with the Warriors. Probably our best hope of conquering them in the POST-SEASON is if their team breaks up like Durant leaving and Thompson, too. But then again, they just beat us on our home floor without Durant so we are probably doomed to lose to them as long as they have Curry on their team.

 

Yup. Fans need to take a step back and realize they are the only ones paying for everything. Vote with your dollars.

 

I'd say blow it up but you cant.

Trade James and don't play Paul for 3 years. That's literally all we can do.

 

Good reality check post Sam.

I am not even that upset honestly.

The big reason being that I know my team and its shortcomings.

I dont fall for the yearly MVP MVP MVP hype. I hate the annual campaigning Morey does for MVP award.

I knew we were in trouble the way we started the offseason. The offseason was the most important time for this team coing off of that 7 game series loss.

And Morey absolutely blew it. The rest of the season was playing catch up.

Even then the weaknesses were all there to see; Over relying on Harden, predictable schoolyard offense, cutting corners and saving money instead of spending, average coaching and poor in game adjustments.

I kept hearing that this team is deeper than last. No it wasnt. Just because you add players does not make you deeper. They were outcast and reject players that we picked up because we were too cheap to spend.

The margin of error was very small going up against a very stacked team and we actually got worse this season.

All this being said, I give Rockets credit for fighting and making every game a close one but in the end a 7 game series will expose you and that it did.

We finished as 4th seed and lost to the number 1 seed in 6 games in 2nd round.

Guess what? That's a realistic outcome.

 

Trade Capela and Gordon as well
