No Worries, the Rockets are still in Phase 2 of the season

and soon, the subsequent phases will happen as they often do for this team.

Phase 1: giddyness over upcoming seasson due to major offseason acqusition (McGrady, Swift, Battier, Scola/Adelman, now Artest).

Phase 2: Early season struggles as players feel each other out and get into better form. Fans freak out.

Phase 3: Hitting stride as the players and team get into midseason form.

It happened before, and will happen again. No worries.


And then around January through March, we are moving into Phase 4:


Major injury to Yao Ming.



Then mid April through Early May = Phase 5: First round exit.

No need to freak out now, everything will just go according to course.

All the future phases are coming.
