    I wonder if Sampson thought he was lucky to hit that shot that beat the Lakers.

    Rockets never lost 3 games in a row all regular season last year so they were pretty damn consistent

    So if he said it... we all agree to it...why does tinman still use it to boost his Harden vs Mac debate? It was a team effort that series and something that would prob never be duplicated in the way the Rockets did it. You cant speak of it in leverage as if he went off in the 4th....

    Regardless i think Harden is still the right player for this team to build around. He will prob be as close to mvp next year as he got to it last year. As long as Morey did not mean the garbage he said about bringing back most of the guys or hoping Dwight opts in.

    Well yeah, the Warriors were also lucky. Every team they faced in the playoffs last year had important players injured.

    The horrendous season that we just had shouldn't take anything away from the '14-'15 season. With all of the injuries and Dwight missing half the season, what the rockets were able to accomplish was anything but lucky. It was so frustrating to watch this season after all of the hard work we put in before

    I dont think us winning 56 was luck, but I think getting to the conference finals was pure luck

    yeah, can you imagine the rockets trying to trade a stretch 4 to the pistons only to have it rescinded, and then after it is rescinded the team goes on to have a great year? that would never happen.

    The Rockets were not "lucky" last year..... As for Sampson, he can't keep his dick in his pants, pay his bills or keep regular employment. I am not concerned what his opinion is.

    Amazing how you guys get so defensive when someone talks about the Rockets, even if their former Rockets and their speaking the truth...

    I don't understand why these players suck so much. They should be on another team
