    Still way more talent than what Tmac had at any point of his career in Houston, save for 2009 when he "quit" on the team.

    2005:
    PG: Sura (good but old and injured)
    SG: Wesley (Poor man JET)
    SF: McGrady
    PF: Howard (Good but injured in the playoffs)
    C: Yao (Just starting to realize his dominance and size, still could not solve being forwarded in the post)
    Rotation: Mike James and Deke were the only notable ones unless Barry was hitting 3s
    Bench: Old vets of spare parts like Padgett, Witherspoon and Ryan Bowen

    2006: Wash Year with all the injuries

    2007:
    We played Luther Head for serious minutes. Chuck Hayes at center at times...

    2008:
    Team started getting better with additions like Bobby Jackson (still old), Scola and Landry (Brooks got zero time)

    2009:
    Only team that could resemble a championship team around T-Mac, but then TMac optioned for micro-fracture.

    All of Harden's team had more talent than any of T-Mac's (except for 2009). The last two teams of Hardens has had more talent than even the 2009 squad.

    The inability to hit shots from inside the arch had killed the rockets the entire series. No Flipping in between game to speak of. Absolutely no post up offense.

    Lol ariza probably missed every mid range jumper of this series. Yet he continues to shoot them.

    Most embarrassing loss in Rockets playoff history. Surpasses Game 7 vs. Dallas in 2005.

    If that ejection was for "throwing the ball at the ref", which wasn't really explained, that was hilariously weak. He basically passed it to him except when he wasn't looking.

    Not even mad, I needed some comedy.

    Houston never had a top defense.

    game's lost. A ACL tear can happen in any moment.

    As a fan I don't even want him to play game 5. At least give us hope for next seasosn.

    There wasn't even a technical freethrow. Pretty sure he left because of his 6th foul
