    None of those teams has been hyped as our team has, which makes our team one of the most disappointing teams of the decade.

    "Dark Horse contenders"
    "Win Now"
    "Western Conference Finals contenders"
    "Championship contenders"
    "Team no one wants to play in first round."

    The way things have gone, teams should look forward to play Rockets in the first round.

    Yeah, if it weren't for Cassell's awesomeness, the list would definitely be two teams longer.

    If we make it to the 2nd round with no tmac, it makes you wonder.

    yeah that does sort of suck, but hey, we fans complain when the Rockets DON'T get hyped as title contenders.

    It'll definitely make me wonder. "Wonder" what his expiring contract will net to increase team depth and/or add a starter.

    exactly.

    it also makes me wonder the most unpopular thought on the bbs. maybe the problem is yao. im losing faith in him as a #1 option / face of the franchise type superstar. he's an all star for sure, but i think this team needs a guy who can lead this team on the court, and take over at the end of games when yao can't get the ball. the rockets need what they hoped they were getting with tmac.

    I think the more appropriate question is?

    "How many teams that have won a championship in the last 20 years that havn't advanced in the playoffs in the last ten?"

    hmmmmmmmmmm - (crickets chirping)

    The Supersonics, for some reason saying the Thunder passed the 1st round in 05 doesn't sound right.. :p
