    It was a good win, wasn't it. A very fitting way to end pro basketball in Vancouver. I was worried for a minute there, but the Rockets came back and remembered there was a game in the 18 minutes. You have to feel for those Vancouver fans. Despite their terrible treatment of Francis, it must feel awful to lose your team like that. Just remember, the Rockets were almost like the Grizzlies...

    Good win. Now, a 40 point thrashing of Minnesota will end the season the right way. 45 wins and no playoffs? Oh well...

    I thought it was funny when Francis asked to be taken out so they could boo him one last time. You could see Rudy laughing and saying "That's so bad.."

    Good win.....

    The Grizzlies will leave Vancouver the same way they entered, sucking. Four months from now, the worst franchise in league history will no longer exist.

    Actually, they will exist. In Memphis. Those poor, unsuspecting bastards...

    C'mon ZRB we need a last game diatribe from you regarding the T'wolves game so that the Rockets can complete their end of season trifecta.

    I know exactly what is going to happen on Tuesday. The Rockets are going to play like they don't give a rat's ass. They are going to be thinking about their new summer homes before tipoff, and never even give a sh** about the game. They will come out and be completely embarassed by the T-Wolves, who will rest their starters, and rout the Rockets with their role players. Hakeem won't play, Francis will break his ankle, and Cuttino will be seriously injured after one of his bricks bounces off the rim and cracks him in the head. The Rockets are going to end a pointless season on a horrible note.

    I don't think the grizzles have been around long enough to be considered the worst franchise in league history. I would still have to give that to the clippers.

    Also, i must say that it is tough to fault a team that is at least making progress. they won over 20 games for the first time this season. they are getting better. hell they are better than the bulls

    Actually, they won 22 last year. They are going for the all-time record high of 23 wins. At that rate, they should make the playoffs in 25 years.

    I must disagree . .. they didn't last long enough to beb the worse in history

    until next year when they DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE
    this title belongs to the Clippers.

    Rocket River
    This year's improvement is not enough to
    erase all those memories.
