I just want to see some emotion out of this team...I know the team is a bit down about their performance, but it's the little things. Saddened me a bit last night when I saw the 76'ers bench standing until they scored like we use to do..then they showed our bench when it was 2-0 them, and Deke was the only one standing. Just a little clap of motivation can go a long way to building a bit of chemistry. Especially from our big 3..even though I see Ron/Yao doing the most of it.
yeah i noticed that also when it came to our bench. what happened to our cheerleaders?! deke was the only one left standing
At least Deke still remembers. And I'm not saying they (The bench players) don't cheer, because Wafer and Chuck always are clapping and cheering for the rest. For example, look at the Celtics. Look at their Leader (Emotional leader) KG, one of the stars on the team. Why do you think that team plays with so much passion, and excitement, always clapping for their teammates? Because their leader plays with that enthusiasm. I love Tracy just as much as anyone else, but it wouldn't hurt for that guy to show some enthusiasm towards his teammates..just a fist pump when a teammate hits a big shot..or screaming at them (In a good way lol) when they hit a big shot. I know, doesn't sound like much, but you'd be surprised.
This thread gets 5 stars! I was lucky enough to attend 2 of the 22 games toward the end of the streak and it was incredible. Kudos for creating a "positive" thread with all the garbage on the board right now.
So what's different between this Rockets team and the 22-win Rockets? No Bobby Jackson. No Steve Novak. And yeah, no freaking defense.
Amazing how Bobby Jackson, Novak, and Luther were all big in those games. That just shows you that this present team can get far if they have their head straight.
Happy streak anniversary Not to sound too corny but I really felt emotionally connected to that streak and last year's team. Can't really explain it. Amazing run, great times I still have hope for this year's squad. Lets get it together guys!

I wish we can get back to our winning ways. I miss the Tmac screaming and his fist throw after a clutch 3 pointer. I miss the 3 finger roll Mac/Barry/Sura/Wesley/James used to do and the funniest part is watching Deke impersonate it back on the bench. I miss Jon Barry hysterically rolling on the ground. Can't forget Stevie and Cat jumpin on each others backs in celebration and goin back further Mario's kiss of death or Eddie Johnson doin the highstep, Hakeem and Dreams memorable we are 1... we did it.. handgrip after 95 finals. We need confidence. We need excitment. We need Swagger. We need to start playing like a team. Most of all we need to believe.
Thanks! It was a labor of love that took... well nearly all summer to put together. I was "forced" to rewatch every game to do it!
