    I think this is the issue. I think most fans feel that after a year
    where we got the #8 pick and the opportunities that was afforded us
    we should *not* be surprised . .. we should EXPECT it.

    as many say . . .two yrs ago . . before the injuries
    we thought we were going to be champions. . . then injuries hit
    MJames was trade . .and the rest is history
    Now . . . we feel a little cheated cause we should be closer to a Championship
    not treading water
    and
    definately not taking a step back
    injuries are forgivable. . . devolving is not

    i dont care how many games the teams wins as long as its enough to get into the playoffs. once there i expect at the very least the second round provided good health for the major players on the team

    I'm not too concerned about regular season wins, but if we make it into the 2nd round of the playoffs, then that's marked improvement over the healthy squad of a couple years ago.

    Considering the limitations placed upon us this offseason, I will be pleased to know that the Rockets made it to the playoffs.

    I will take any damn record in the regular season- but to me if Mac and Ming perform as expected Nothing shot at the Conference Final is acceptable IF we have to declare that we have improved ( Ok we have to beat SA or Dallas!)

    Why?

    We almost beat Dallas, and an improvment would be to meet SA or Phoenix in the Finals. SA seems to have some role player issue- so I think I have to say we have to appear in Confernce Final.
