It's even more painful losing to the same guy who is now 37, you lost to over and over again after two identity shifts (Dantoni to Udoka - won't count Silas and it can be assumed he was objectively trying to lose). At least when you are tanking, you know are you trying to be bad to have some upward trajectory. This version of the Warriors is not Championship caliber yet we can't even get it done without potentially going to 7. Does not bode well for our chances without making major moves in future years.
The most influential people in the NBA the last 2 seasons Sam Presti (I got clowned for saying he is 100x morey but clearly..) Danny Ainge Look at how they've gone about assembling team after team. They are ****ing relentless and have a vision. The problem with the rockets is they don't. To your painful point, it gets easier when you lower your expectations. Last game was painful. I knew they were going to lose this after dumbass coach can't make easy adjustments.
Been saying all series, losing in the first round this year isn’t heartbreaking. Young guys are getting valuable experience and we’re seeing them figure some things out (and seeing who maybe isn’t figuring it out). But the fact that it’s the ****ing warriors again just makes it infuriating! These guys have taken the joy out of watching basketball for basically my entire adult life.
We have too much defense first and offense 2nd players, we need balance. We need guys that are great at shooting to balance out our lineups. There is a reason that GS is winning with Hield, Curry and Post - who all suck at defense but are above average shooters, they play a balanced lineup. We are getting hosed due to our coaches inability to value offensive players. We have guys on our bench that are better shooters than those playing....... DD
I think it's wonderful being a Rockets fan. We have an up-and-coming team, are ahead of schedule with the rebuild, have historically had great playoff runs, and have one of the most passionate fanbases there is. Playing against GS again brings out a lot of negative emotions in me. But overall, being a Rockets fan is pretty great in my opinion.
It is sad to be back here against this same stupid team. Same stupid donkey. Same s***, different year. The excitement about this team being a 2 seed and all the strides they made this year, but I have to be honest, I’m not sure if they beat many of the teams in the west playoffs currently. Memphis probably. I don’t know about anyone else. it’s so depressing and frustrating to be in this Deja vu against this team that has owned this franchise over the past decade. And if we could just make our free throws, it would possibly be 3-1 or at worst, 2-2. Self inflicted. So upsetting. May not sleep tonight, it’s already almost 2 here. Ugh.
Atleast we have the Astros and Texans? Texans look better than ever before. The rockets are ahead of schedule anyways. Nobody was predicting we finish where we did this year. Lighten up
Could y'all calm down? We're made the playoffs for the first year after a major rebuild, and they'll be more big moves to come. We're at the beginning of next era -- the old era is gone. Just enjoy the ride.
