Hey, it's all part of being a Rockets fan. You should know that by now. Rodney Dangerfield gets no respect, but hey, how sweet it is when ya get the respect the best way possible - by earning it.
Yes, I know that. My post is to show this Dangerfield treatment (You should know that's why this was posted). This is great locker room material. In the end, they still have to *prove it* on the court. And they will.
Isn't this a good thing? The Rockets are at their best when they're underdogs. Everytime the media jumped on the bandwagon this year, they'd promptly go out and get their asses handed to them.
et tu, Kelly? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20.../playoffs/2005/04/22/experts.picks/index.html Just kidding. Frankly, I'm not going into this with the expectation that the Rockets will come up on top, although they certainly could.
They are all just predictions. Jeez! The Mavs have been a better team all season, with the better record than us, and better record against playoff teams. It's not out of the realm of possibility that they win the series. As a matter of fact, it's easy to say they have a better chance at winning the series than we do. With that being said, I'm sure the Rockets will be competitive and i certainly hope we take them out. but these analysts have to base their predicitons on something and i'm quite sure it's not from watching both teams playing every night. once again, they're just FREAKIN' predictions.

I'm sorry if I'm out of touch, but should I know ANY of those guys outside of Steve Kerr? If so, sorry. I still pick Rockets in 7, 6 if the Rockets can continue to shoot the 3 the way they've been shooting it the past week or two.
**** all these idiots! The Rockets will prove them all wrong! THEY WILL SHOW THEM!!! Then, they'll face most likely Phoenix and still won't get their due respect. AND WE'LL SHOW THEM, TOO!!!
