as much as it pains me to say this, the better TEAM won. 1. utah won much more decisively on their floor than we did on ours. 2. in many ways, we were fortunate to win the 3 games at home 3. utah has legitimate starting players at every position, and several off the bench. they lack a second star, but they have better overall talent. 4. We have 3 legit starters, 6.5 legit rotation players for a playoff team, perhaps 6 rotation players for a real contender. 5. i absolutely cannot stand the fact that our team is not as talented as the stupid, freaking, flopping, utah jazz. But the truth hurts. They have more talent, are tougher, execute better. We would be in round 2 if we had signed Mike James. Love him or hate him. He would have been a talent upgrade. We might be in roudn 2 had Van Gundy switched Yao on Okur. Chucky was frustrating boozer. aw, hell, nevermind the if ands and buts. The better team won. That's usually what happens in a 7 game series.
you are right man. rockets didnt play a single good game in the entire series. the 3 games we won is because utah didnt play as good. we need better managment. i am glad CD is gone. hopefully jvg now too.
