Is this going to get any worse? This is the lowest I think I have ever felt in rooting on the Rockets. I know because of all the ****!ing injuries, we can kiss the playoffs goodbye, but goddang it, even the bad teams win every one out of five! To lose 13 games in a row, no matter who is playing is just astounding. I still can't fathom how this is possible. Kenny played his ass off and most of the other guys did everything humanly possible, but we still can't get a break if our life depended on it. Moochie Norris reminds me of Curly Neal (from the Globetrotters) with hair with all this damn DRIBBLE, DRIBBLE, DRIBBLE, DRIBBLE, DRIBBLE, DRIBBLE, etc. He needs to quit the Rockets and take up touring the country with his freaking dribbling exhibitions! If he could do anything other than this maybe we win this game. Instead we lose to the team with the players that were good at one time like Jimmy Jackson, Kendall Gill, Brian Grant, Rod Strickland, etc. God, I wish I could get my money back on this ****!ng League Pass. Sorry for the profanity...but I have never felt more frustrated with a sports team in my life.
I have cut back drastically on my posting because of "burn-out". I didn't say that I would never post again....just not much. Besides, when you see your team lose what seems like their billionth game in a row, you sorta have a tough time keeping the frustration inside of you...at least I do.
Man, I feel so bad for these guys. They are still working their asses off and they just SUCK! All I want for Christmas is Steve Francis back.
I feel terrible because I want Francis to come back to save the team, but on the other hand, I know we're not making the playoffs, so Steve's return could do no more than mess up our draft position. It would be a shame to both miss the playoffs and wind-up with a Jason Collier type pick at the same time...
While it was hard watching another loss, I am very proud of their effort. I thought Zo would kill us in the post, but KT, EG and Willis did a very good job on him. While we desperately need Franchise back, I think it is relatively clear (IMHO) that we are not missing Rice or Cato. We are getting more production from Torres at the SF spot and Willis is holding his own at the 5.
If the Rockets fail, they must fail trying and the effort is the solace which adds the content in the psyche.
Call me a diehard. I enjoyed watching the game last night and saw several encouraginging signs. KT's play. Moochie is not dribbling as much. TMO hit a couple of shots. EG had a turnaround in the paint and several blocks. He also showed some real drive when he went diving to the floor to get that ball. EG did a lot to erase some doubts I was starting to have. I don't get into the nailbiting stage until the playoffs. Too bad they probably won't make it this year. I only get cranky when the Rockets take the day off. It could be a fifty game losing streak; I still enjoy watching them. Is it a big surpise that an all veteran lineup with probably at least 7 yrs of experience at each position performed better down the stretch? Remember all of the Miami starters have been all stars or near all stars in the past. None of the are geriatric cases either. Though he won last night I bet Riley would trade his team for ours.
