    I am so down. The division title, the number 2/3 seed, homecourt advantage, not playing the Lakers until the WCF, etc. It was all right there for us. I couldnt sleep last night. As I tried to sleep, all I could see was Jason Terry sticking dagger after dagger.

    Now, dont get me wrong, I will be ready for the playoffs. I will be amped come Saturday. I do beleive the Rockets can win. Heck, I believe the Rockets can win the Championship this year.

    It is just that right now, I am moving around just a little bit slower. Last night really stung. It was one of those losses that I cant just get over. It is not quite a gut wrenching loss that will take me days to get over ( see Game 7, 2007 WC First Round vs the Jazz at the Toyota Center) but rather a real hard stinger. Clearly, the hardest loss of the season. Worse than, the Chicago Metldown, the Roy Dagger, the November 14, 2008 Meltdown in San Antonio or the embarassing losses to the Pacers and Wizards at home.

    Here is to getting over this, and looking forward to getting amped for the playoffs. I am just not there yet.

    I was till I had lunch and my hangover from losing and bud light went away.

    note to self-drinking after a lose doesn't change anything.

    Agree completely. I was really pissed last night. Just had that horrible feeling inside. Almost as bad a losing a playoff series. Amazing that so much could be lost on one night of regular season games!

    I feel just awful. Everything seemed to be going according to plan; then Yao never touches the ball again. What looked like a high seed, HCA, and a do-able path to the conference finals was set on fire in front of us. Then to see Mark Cuban skipping on the court like the isloated closet-case that he is. I feel like my stomach has been surgically removed.

    They always play juuuuust well enough to give us hope, don't they? This team is made of disappointment. I hate feeling so hopeless.

    I couldn't agree more. I had a tough time sleeping last night. Today is going to be a tough day but I am still optimistic about the Rockets

    GET RED

    I'm just anxious for the playoffs to start. It will erase this bad taste in everyone's mouths. Unfortunately we have to wait all day Saturday too.

    Not one bit, especially looking at the big picture:

    I feel that this "big 3" run isnt over, more that it just began. We never had supporting cast, or a 3rd scorer until this year. And guess what, we found both. Landry showed us he wasnt a rookie one hit wonder and Von Wafer showed much promise. Scola cemented his spot at the 4 and chuck hayes improved his offense (even though its not great, he is better than what he was) and is still consistent on defense (where is real value is). Aaron Brooks is greatly improved from his rookie season and now has a lot of experience under his belt, and we also got another young point guard to complement him. Yao also showed us he can put in a full season of work.


    Without them, they are nowhere near a playoff team. We accomplished so much without McGrady. When McGrady comes back healthy (and if) along with everything we gained this year, there is not one team in the NBA that can stop us. Imagine last years McGrady added to this lineup going into the playoffs... that is a championship team, and that is a team that the rockets havent been able to field since the mid 90s. Get excited, because it is very possible, we arent a few holes away, we are a rehab and an attitude adjustment away.

    On top of that

    -we are in the playoffs
    -we are playing against a team that we match up the best against (playoff teams)
    -we are healthy (outside of tmac)
    -When we face the lakers, they will be worn out from trying to handle the jazz


    so no, not the least bit depressed :)

    I live in Dallas and I hate the Mavs way more than I hate the Jazz so its sucks even more that we lost to them. Its a good thing its a football town and no one gives a **** about the Mavs.

    We lost so much yesterday. The division title and homecourt through the first two rounds of the playoffs just slipped through our fingers. It was definitely the most gut-wrenching loss of the season. Sure, all the losses count, but never do you lose so much on one night.

    I am happy we got our best match up, Blazers.

    I'm feeling the same way. The sad part is that everyone is talking about the Dallas game last night, but the Rockets could have locked up the 2nd seed and the division title a long time ago. All those bad losses against every last place team except the Thunder came back to bite them in the end, and I knew it would. I got so frustrated when people would say "don't worry about those games, it's still early." The Rockets had so many games they should have won it's not even funny. Then you have to rely on other teams to help you out. Well, none of the teams helped the Rockets out last night. Every scenario that went against the Rockets happened.

    Hold that thought. If/When it happens God forbid we get eliminated then this board is going to go crazy. You already see how it is when we lose in a season game. Imagine how its going to look when the whole season is over.

    It hurt alot. Right or wrong im choosing to look at it this way.

    The ultimate goal is the win a title weather its in the second round or in the third round we have to go through the lakers. I would be just as disapointed if we lost to the lakers in the second round or the third.

    Also if we do make it to the wcf we now will face a team that we have a very good chance to beat. I my self dont want see the Rockets get all the way to wcf just to loose, whether it be to the lakers or any one else.

    I think our oods of winning the wcf are higher then they where before. :)

    Now we just have to get there :p
