http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/sports/bk/bkn/748645 The Rockets' situation is simultaneously amazing and sobering. Wins at Compaq Center tonight against the Charlotte Hornets and Saturday night against the Phoenix Suns would push the Rockets above .500 for the first time since the end of the 1999 season. Yes, the two-time world champions have taken quite a tumble since 1995. During that span, the Rockets have had lineups featuring three (not four) of the top 50 athletes ever to play the game -- Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler and Charles Barkley. No Quitten? They've drafted two of the finer young talents to recently enter the NBA in guards Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley. But keeping their heads above the .500 watermark has been a struggle. ------------------ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS..." - Mark Twain - Remember, A Vote For Nader Is A Vote For Bush...

This means the perfect storm has moved past us now and we're riding the wave to the top of the crest. How long? I don't know, but we are getting there baby. ------------------ Sometimes you gotta do the next best thing!
