    For some reason I'm having trouble getting behind this team. At this point I wouldn't even be mad if they missed the playoffs... The team's apathy is rubbing off on me :(

    Ok, don't come crawling back when we finally get out the first round. The bandwagon will be closed to you.

    Team's apathy? Don't agree.

    You should chill and think.

    I'm tired of people saying this team is apathetic and doesn't care. There's a HUGE difference between not executing down the stretch, and not caring. This team has its fair share of problems, and they need to be addressed now, but I really don't think NOT CARING is one of them. If you need more proof, go back to that press conference with T-Mac at the end of last year. People who don't care don't tend to break down like that. Seriously, if and when this team sees success, don't bother coming back. You said you don't care....now stick with that.

    The Rick Adelman apathy/indifference/blah attitude has really defined this team now.

    Jumping on the Boston bandwagon seems to be the new thing. I think they are accepting new members.

    I don't think the team is necessarily apathetic. I do know I am, at this point. This season has a serious whiff of '05-'06 about it.

    I know what you mean. I don't even watch on TV much anymore. All that money for LP down the drain.

    First time Rockets staff and players had in dealing with this Boston team. They were at home and had inside information from Thibs. It was a close game. IMO after this game they're not a threat to the Rockets they'll feel they can take them next game or games.

    Suit yourself. I realize we are probably headed for the lottery but I'm not OK with it. If we keep up the effort like tonight, missing the playoffs will be easier to stomach. It's been a very bitter season so far but there is still a lot to care about. Every player on the roster, except Yao, should be under evaluation to see if they belong on the team next year.

    The disappointment and frustration might push you to the edge of the cilff. But cheers, man. I do like the mentality and energy showed up by the Rox at present.

    Give you the lyrics of Shadow of the Day by Likin Park. It might lighten you up :)

    I close both locks below the window.
    I close both blinds and turn away.
    Sometimes solutions aren’t so simple.
    Sometimes goodbye’s the only way.

    And the sun will set for you,
    And the sun will set for you.
    And the shadow of the day,
    Will embrace the world in grey,
    And the sun will set for you...

    In cards and flowers on your window,
    Your friends all plead for you to stay.
    Sometimes beginnings aren’t so simple.
    Sometimes goodbye’s the only way.

    And the sun will set for you,
    And the sun will set for you.
    And the shadow of the day,
    Will embrace the world in gray,
    And the sun will set for you..

    And the shadow of the day,
    Will embrace the world in gray,
    And the sun will set for you..

    And the shadow of the day,
    Will embrace the world in gray,
    And the sun will set for you.

    49-33 is my prediction for our record this year, 6th or 7th seed.
