    Look, I love the Rockets more than most people on this site, but let's be honest. The lakers sleepwalked through games 4 and 6 and anyone who says different is blinded by their love of the Rockets.

    Watch those games again. The lakers were just going through the motions.

    Are you familiar with the concept of sample size?

    Championship??? Highly unlikely, but...

    I have a friend who likes to say, "Have no expectations and be constantly amazed!"

    I, for one, am looking to enjoy the team from the perspective of Brooks (and company) speed providing some enjoyable moments. Dunking on someone is taken as an embarrassment, but so is appearing to be standing still while a player zips by you on his way to the basket for a score or dish-off. Who didn't enjoy watching Brooks make the Lakers defense look silly at times in their series?

    I have no expectations and so will be happy with whatever good transpires this season.

    Oh yeah, We did not have Mutombo either.

    hell you can throw Artest in there too with his stupid shot selection and getting booted out of a couple games. It was like he was already playing for the Lakers

    Three pieces to a Rockets championship: healthy knee, healthy foot, healthy back

    In regards to Offense and getting kicked out of a playoff game, I would have to agree. That's the difference between a Battier and Artest/Wafer, one player knows how to control his emotions during critical moments... which could also be the difference between Winning and losing.

    ...and MINUS the constant back luck, freak injuries, player shootings, HOF'ers ending their careers on stretchers, etc.

    All of the above would be quite swell. :cool:
