Rockets' Inconsistency is Just Another Thing to Get Over

The Rockets always do well against the teams with winning records and every time it seems like we are about to string a winning streak together, we lose to teams with losing records. Two years ago, our problem was, like this year, different from other teams. In 2000-2001, we were winning on the road, but losing at home.
What I am trying to get to is that we are capable of beating anyone and that if we take the games that we have the advantage in, we would be an elite team. The Sixers of two years ago, were not full of talent outside Allen Iverson, but they took care of games that they were expected to win and beat great teams to not only have one of the best records, but make it all the way to the finals. With Eddie Griffin doing a good job of blocking shots, Yao Ming dominating, Maurice Taylor finding his comfort zone soon, Kelvin Cato's hustle and the guards' play, there is no excuse now.
