    Although the Jazz are Satan's basketball team and i hate them more than the HPD, i have recently developed a hatred of the Spurs that rivals the Jazz. This team is just as dirty as the Jazz, flops with the best of em, and gets TONS of bs ref calls because of their status as NBA "darlings."


    The one loss i wish we could have back is the last game the Spurs played in Houston when they beat us by three. That fly in the ointment Finley (whose non buzzer beating, game winning three the other night f****d the seeding race up) was on fire, and even hit that buzzer beating half court shot right before the half. (does Shane guard him?) That loss really hurt and as usual, it sounded like there were more Spurs fans than Rockets fans in TC. We should have won that game (what were we like 5 for 28 from three point land in that game?)


    Honorable mention would be any loss to the j*zz, since we get robbed every time.

    If we face them in round one i got a bad feeling.

    Even minus Ginobli theyre a bad match for us. Parker runs floor on Aaron.

    FRIGGEN TMAC !!!!!!

    Up 10 with 4 minutes to go, Brooks with his first start, and TMac comes into the game and starts chucking...and missing.

    Meanwhile on D, Carl Landry leaves Bonner open 2 times in a row for wide open 3s.

    My wife and I sitting center court about 15 rows up, go from happy, to being taunted.

    YIKES !!

    I blew a coritid artery at the end of that game DD, I was pissed. I think the rockets would have won if Adelman had just kept the gimpy T-mac on the bench for the rest of the game.

    Ewwwww, that loss to Chicago was one of the more angering fourth quarter collapses weve had this season. That one had me drunk and trying to start fights at Fast Eddies on Richmond. Blown 20 point lead!!!!! :mad:

    After that first loss to the spurs, I KNEW it would eventually come back to haunt us. If we end up not winning the division, it's because of that game.

    We should of won in Portland and at home we should of won against Philadelphia. Both games Tracy should not have played.

    Spurs on the road, first time.

    There have been several. The 4 that stand out the most to me are the first game with the Spurs at home, Pacers at home, at Chicago, and at Portland. Those all hurt.

    A 9 way tie between losses against:

    Pacers (twice), Grizzlies (twice), Clippers, Wizards, Raptors, Knicks, and Bucks

    Not saying we should have won them all, but now all those losses against losing teams are haunting us. If we won just a few of those games, we'd have 2nd seed all wrapped up by now.

    Anyways i'm over it since we've come together since, but damn...

    Both the losses I attended live...

    the Pacers - no Yao in the second half - valiant comeback but no go
    the Bulls - 17 freaking points... 17... are you kidding me

    Plus I would like to add the Bucks loss to that as well.

    They are the most painful.
