    Setting such high expectations for next season may lead to huge disappointments. So if you had to taste bitter defeat, which way would you like it?

    i think we have to keep our expectations high(er) and more importantly we have to believe (!)in our team
    its our part to build a dynasty i guess

    stay humble stay hungry ;)

    Don't get me wrong, I hope the Rox win it all year in and year out, but I'm also a realistic guy. Like for last year, I think if the Rox lost in the second round, I would be ok with it. This year, however, I think I'd be okay with a WCF exit even though I'd be very disappointed.

    If they just HAD to lose, I'd want it to be in the WCF. I could tolerate losing in the WCF 'cause this would only be StroShow's first year here, T-Mac and Yao are still building chemistry, and only Yao's 4th year. Losing in the finals would be too heartbreaking for me. I believe it's harder to win the Western Finals than the NBA Finals anyways, so it'd be a huge letdown to lose to an Eastern team.

    But whatever, it's Rockets all the way this year, so this all "quite inconsequential."

    If my girlfriend cheated on me, I'd want her to do it with...

    A) ...my brother.

    B) ...my best friend.

    C) ...the mailman.

    D) ...former Dallas Cowboys QB Troy Aikman.

    E) ...Kam.

    I mean... There really is no defensible answer. Unless you're Kam.

    If we don't win it all, we might as well get a lottery pick out of it.
