I feel the worst for the people who spent their hard-earned $

I don't care about the corporate "fans" who show up late each game, including in the playoffs. I feel terrible for the middle-class people and families who spent more money than they probably intended or felt comfortable doing to see a Rockets playoff game. Thinking this was worth the expense to witness what should have been a dominating win to force Game 7 against the Spurs, instead was a complete embarrassment before the first 12 minutes were over. Millionaires 20 times over can go home, or better yet jet off to some foreign locale for a vacation, while people working their 9-5 have to deal with spending their bonus check or vacation money on something that no one should be forced to pay for. To each their own, and these people willingly bought these tickets, but they expected effort, a semblance of trying, something out of their home team. Instead nothing, the millionaires can go on living the high life not caring about the ordinary people while they have to leave the arena and drive home knowing they got screwed.

This game is a microcosm of what the Houston Rockets have been for over 20 years, occasional high expectations followed by heart-wrenching defeat.

 

You think the Spurs, over the course of an 82-game season without Leonard playing would be seeded higher than the Rockets this year? We disagree there.

 

I'd be at a loss for words
