    I know the season didnt end the way we all hoped for but I have to say I am going to miss this team. I just watched highlights from this season and feel sad that we are going to lose some nice players and great guys.

    to the 04/05 Rockets we will miss you.

    maybe we can talk about what we enjoyed this last season.

    1. Watching Yao/Tmac and a bunch of scrubs play team basketball and win games.

    2. Highlights that R2K provides (awesome job, thank you so much)

    3. Yao's behind the back dribble against Blazers (around SAR)

    4) I like Jon Barry's behind the back cross court pass to Tmac for a dunk.

    despite the way we went out in the playoffs, i liked everything about this season. not to bash francis, but it was nice to see a "real team" out there playing smart, professional basketball. 5 years was too long!

    i enjoyed seeing t-mac play and i love having him here on the rockets.

    Last night at a party I told a friend of mine, last season's squad was one of my most favorite ones ever!

    The emotions they had and passion. Sura, JB, Deke.....

    Then our awesome and humble superstars....Yao, TMAC.

    I couldn't agree more.

    This past season has reviatalized my passion for the Rox. I can see nothing but blue skies ahead.

    Not since Ralph Samson, have we had a point center!

    I enjoyed the teamwork of the last half of the season that made the Rox a truly enjoyable winning ball club. The off season will be exciting to watch to see what tweeks/splashes are made to improve the team. It will also be sad, because some of the players that made this team click will be gone.

    To the players that come back, "It's good to see ya again!" To those that don't return, "Good luck & thank's for the memories! You'll always be Rockets in our hearts!"

    I loved the season. After five years of the dumbest basketball I have ever seen, 04-05 was a welcome relief. They played smart, they player hard, and won over fifty games (regular season). Great year overall, very entertaining. My only disappointment was the performance of Ming. When you review the whole season, he had very few really outstanding games. I expected much more from him, and I am starting to have doubts that he will ever live up to our expectations. His lack of stamina is just killing his game. The bottomline for the season was that the Rockets lacked a true point guard and a true power forward. Howard would have helped during the playoffs, but the Rockets frankly need more talent.

    it's never a great season when you lose in the first round of the playoffs.

    Spoken like a true hall of fame center. Come back more often Hakeem

    It was still a very enjoyable season. Very fun team to watch.

    it was a good and productive season but that's it. we got better than the year before but great is reserved for finals appearances and championships.
