Are we the biggest disappointment of the league this season?

Actually not really. There's not a single one of the players we've let go in the process (either by waiver or trade) that I wish would be back. I mean...Baxter, Anderson, Moochie? Surely you don't miss those guys. And none of the guys we've picked up in the process is going to give us problems ... in fact, we're better off than we would have been if we hadn't let go of these guys. We got two trade exceptions from the Moochie and Anderson trades. Brunson and Frahm are going to be waived once the season is over.

The one problem we have is that our long term contracts (notably Juwan's, combined with Yao's new max salary) are likely going to prevent us from making any big splashes, unless CD can someone wave the magic wand and get someone to accept JH in a trade. At which point many of us here would probably go to his house to worship and pay obeisance every evening for the next 3 years.

Baxter and Hayes have given us the most inspirational play at the PF slot this season. I do miss Lonnie. He earned more minutes than he received.

I don't quite know what to make of DA. It sure looked like he was going to be a significant contributor to this team during preseason. Once he got injured, he never came back. Now he's seeing spot minutes in Miami, so obviously he was ready to play. Obviously, something went wrong between him and Coach.

Injuries to your best players doesn't make you a disappointment. We'd be a disappointment if Mac was healthy, Yao didn't have toe surgery and we still sucked.

Yeah, they're the biggest disappointment because, I for one, was expecting Western Conference Finals for sure. But, this season has one HUGE asterisk on it. I still have complete faith in JVG and T-Mac. It'll be incredibly hard to stop this team next season if there are few injuries.

I remember Charles Barkley calling the Rockets the Second Best team in the West during the charity game. Many of us were hoping for a birth to atleast the Western Conference finals after so many years. With the high expectations for this team during the previous offseason, how much of a disappointment are the Rockets compared to some of the other teams who's plans flopped this season. If not which team is?

The Rockets by far have had the most disappointing season without any other team being even a close second...I think this season has been certainly the most disappointing in their history, though, I, also, was reminded of the really horrible disruption of the 1987 season. In fact, I think either the 87 or 06 season could arguably be the the most dissapointing in the history of the NBA! The only true bright spot has been the emergence of Yao as a powerful and dominating NBA force!!
