    But you're agreeing with people who don't have that specific point of view. For instance vlaurelio was talking to me as if I said the Rockets wouldn't beat the timber wolves in this first round, when all I said is harden needed to step up and play like he's a mvp or no ring, I also pointed out that the Rockets haven't played well and need to play consistent to beat GSW. Several people have that same opinion and all got called whiner fans, they are even on the list, lol. Granted some people thought we would lose game 4 but it was a game thread, people are just reacting to what they are seeing and the rockets were not playing like the rockets in the first half at all, that's happened since the beginning of clutch fans people react to the game during the game. Granted there are some haters who seem to hate the Rockets but there's not a lot of them and they should not be put in the same group as people who love the Rockets and want to see them play better.

    LOL, I agree but there's not a lot of true fake rockets fans on here. This thread isn't needed just a place for a guy to call people whiners who don't agree with every little thing he says.

    "There was an idea, The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, see if they could become something more. See if they could work together when we needed them to to fight the battles we never could."

    It's not an assumption, it's an observation, the one game the Rockets lost they didn't play well at all. They were not playing Rockets basketball, it's not an unreasonble thing to expect the Rockets to sweep given their potential. The Rockets know that. Did I expect a sweep personally? no but given how the Rockets have played they could've easily played well enough to sweep if they just played regular Rockets basketball. There is nothing the Timberwolves did to stop the Rockets the Rockets stopped themselves.

    Don't disagree with the post, but...

    With every single one of his/her posts, I always find myself spending way too much time wondering how Rocket River decides to structure his/her sentences and paragraphs.

    Almost Totally Random

    BACK WHEN I WAS YOUNGER
    We typed on system with 40 character limits
    so words didn't jump the next line .. . they just broke into
    So . .. you have to gauge the 40 letter limit
    and hit ENTER (was RETURN) to move to the next line
    rather than have you words broken up

    It became a happen . . . .. . .
    WHEN YOU GET TO BE MY AGE
    You don;t change
    besides
    It's all about communicating . . . .. not structure

    To whine or not to whine, that is the question.

    The Rocket's had a .793 winning percentage. Assuming that the T-Wolves are just an average team means you'd expect the Rockets to sweep 40% of the time.

    The 99
    were by design
    the greatest Rockets fans of all time
    mountains
    we don't need to climb
    we're on top
    you begging?
    here's a dime
    shine
    these shoes
    while we unwind
    we don't want to change
    your mind
    but we hope you find
    some coffee beans
    to grind
    while we dine
    and drink fine wine
    one 99er
    is better than everyone of y'all
    combined
    Bye now
    we're going to watch the Rockets
    shine

    So here's the thing... why openly disagree with me when you also didnt necessarily expect a sweep, but thought it was possible?

    I said in my original post that while its definitely conceivable to do, it's not a reasonable expectation to only sweep or disappointed over if it goes 5.

    Your assumption was incorrect for myself in regards to expectation and title follow-through, so why should it be true for everyone else who didnt expect a sweep? The TWolves played well in Game 3, and we did not. We could've played well enough to compete, sure, but that doesnt mean they dont deserve credit as a professional team that handled their business. We are good enough to sweep them, yes, but we are not good enough to be guaranteed to sweep them.

    There's a difference there.

    that's BALLSCIENCE!! by the way, with 5 posts in 15 years, or 1 post every three years, honestly sir, you should post more often. Your ball science makes more sense than some other posters' ballscience . . . if you know what I mean. ;)
