I must say... I'm a full blooded tanker and I want nothing more than to lock up a top 5 pick (and root for Toronto to make the playoffs). However, I was impressed beyond belief last night at the intensity and pride that our guys played with. I was absolutely blown away by the determination that we had to win that game. Kudos to Rudy and the guys for puting on the performance of the season last night !!!
Why can't they do it night in and night out with the OCCASIONAL lapse ... instead of the occasional UPRISING?!
A thumbs up to that, NJRocket, compared to the all thumbs overall performance this year (albeit, forgiveness is order for the stubbed toes).
Winning a game like this one is an essential part of any good tanking program. Every so often you need to pull off a comeback to remind yourselves that you can turn it on when you want to and that the rest of the time, you're playing below your level of ability.
Agree, the Rockets could have easily won the Orlando and Miami games this week, but what is the point? Let's save our last victory of the season for the Mavs. You should have heard the Mavs announcers after the game about how the loss to the Rockets ruined their chances of winning the Midwest Division. I love it!!!
