    Despite all the doom and gloom... we still should have reason to hope. We are in a much better position than the 2009 Rockets that lost Yao Ming after Game 3. That team was 2-2 against the eventual champion Lakers led by Gasol-Bryant-Ariza. That team also lost Mutombo after two playoff games (and Tmac was long gone midway through that season)... That team still fought to seven games against the Lakers in the playoffs. This 2018 playoff team is up 3-2. We still have a home game. We still have a superstar... and a superstar that outclasses Ron Artest in his prime. We have better depth despite it losing confidence (Ryno and Luc). We still have Keith Jones... (scratch that one)... We can still WIN.


    Sons of Turbo, of Clutch, my brothers,
    I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.
    A day may come when the courage of men fails,
    when we forsake our ISO system
    and break all bonds of fellowship,
    but it is not this day.
    An hour of Timberwolves and shattered Spurs,
    when the age of Morey comes crashing down,
    but it is not this day!
    This day we fight!!
    By all that you hold dear on this good Earth,
    I bid you stand, Men of the West!!!
