    Yes, the odds of us winning it all this year are still next to nothing. Majority of the rotation has no playoff experience, and the ones who do (FVV and Brooks) are not "carry you to a championship" types and never have been. My hope is that we'll finish a top 3 seed and clear the first round and go to 6 or 7 in the semifinals and get lots of experience. Anything beyond that would be wildly exceeding expectations.

    Just happy we're a good team again.

    Every party needs a pooper. Why not be optimistic? I honestly am more optimistic about this team and the talent that’s growing than the Harden teams with talent that was declining.

    I would be optimistic if the league was not rigged

    I want to see these posts. Who’s talking about a ring?

    Please don’t tell me you’re talking about that awful troll (and likely someone’s alt) Jorge Gutierrez.

    Who’s talking about a ring? Is it bad that fans are happy the team is winning right now?

    Who says anything about winning a ring??? People are excited about the fact that we’re good for the first time in a while. And even if we were discussing a “ring,” why would you care? Seriously, analyze your sad life.

    Topics before we're winning a ring:
    1. So and so is the real franchise player.
    2. So and so is awful, trade him.
    3. Who do we trade for?
    4. Ime needs Joe Brady to run an offense.
    5. Halftime shows
    6. We're not winning if we don't have a star.
    7. We won't stay at .500 with the upcoming, upcoming schedule.

    Rockets arent winning a championship this year. They aren't even a contender. Maybe next year. But they still have a lot to improve on to win a 7 game series.

    Anything less than a 4-0 Finals sweep would be stunning IMO. We got it LOCKED DOWN.

    How do you go from bottom team Toronto who hung around to winning a ring......that is thinking Canada big.....

    That is why they call March Jalen the Real Jalen.

    Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4….10 championships this year. The Rockets might just win the Super Bowl too.

    Jae’Sean Tate MVP, Jock Landale passes LeBron on the all-time scoring list. Larry O’Brien trophy renamed after assistant coach Royal Ivey. Jack McVeigh signs lifetime endorsement deal with Nike. Tilman unveils bronze statue of Aaron Holiday in front of brand new $5 billion Enron Arena.
