Because watching the games our team just doesn't have IT. We're going to get demolished by SA or Dallas even if we won this series somehow.
T-Mac and Yao had IT? They got bounced out of the first round every playoff series and sometimes even FAILED TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS.
I said 05, 07, 09. Those close losses hurt more because we actually had heart on those teams. Certainly more poise than this ****ty collection of players.
In 2005 we had a championship level team and we got bounced by crooked NBA Refs who called moving screens on Yao to take him out of every game. It was sickening and Im still not over it.
I'll agree that Houston didn't show much heart in the second game. THEY PLAYED THEIR HEARTS OUT IN THE LAST TWO GAMES SO QUIT DOGGING THEM.
and when did a healthy Tmac and Yao not make the playoffs? RedRedemption isn't the sharpest tool in the shed
I agree 05 team was my fav rockets team in the 2000's. Championship caliber completely ****ed by Refs. Im still not over that series This series I'm hardly angry
Oh please, that 05 team was fun to watch especially in the second half of the season, but they were not going to beat the Spurs that year.
That Jazz game 7 loss at home was a heartbreaker, but the T-Mac and Yao era had run its course. 09 was amazing. We took the Lakeshow to 7 games with Ron Artest puttin da team on his back.
For some reason that 09 is very bothersome. Tracy was never really healthy that entire season, but we still had a contender w/out him. He was clearly still our best player, pre injury. Yao going down, was just the bball gods way of saying screw you guys.
07 is the worst for me too. Because we were at home in Game 7 with the lead in the 4th. and we were going to play the EIGHT SEEDED warriors in the next round We were a shoein for the Western Conference Finals
09 was the worst. Had Yao not gone down we would have bested the lakers. Who as we all know won it all that year. 09 was Yao's year, so heartbreaking his body couldn't hold up.
2005 was my favorite squad, but 2007 hurt the most followed by 2009. 05 07 09 Jeez, the Rockets came so close so often.
In terms of specific games, the game tonight is up there for me. I'd say games 1 and 4 are two of the worst Rockets chokes I've witnessed. Game 7 in 07 is #1 worst for me though. 05 series as a whole hurt bad, but we didn't really choke away any games. We just didn't play well enough, then there was the refs as well.
07 Rockets only had four guys who can score a point at all and one of them is Juan Howard. Come on, that wasn't a good team.
