    My point is that lately.. you aren't the only one.... it has been suggested that if you think x player isn't the best for the team or we aren't going to beat x team then you aren't a loyal fan...


    I can think we will zero games and as long as I'm always rootingn for them still be loyal. The tampa bay devil ray fans who don't think they have a shot of winning this year can still be loyal if they always root for them.. the fans of the texans can be loyal even if they don't think they will win a huge amount of games this year, and the rockets fans can be loyal even if they don't think they will win 50...

    he made a reference to good teams are .500 on the road... that right there is a reason to not think we are going to win 50 with no trouble.. there is no way to prove that we are going to win future games.. you look at the schedule and either you think we will or you don't think we will..

    i want to win every game we play, you want to win every game we play, jeff wants us to win every game we play.. and every other person who is a rockets fan as well.. if I think we will win 0 games or all of the games.. it doesn't make much difference.. the point is we will root for them even if they win 0 games..

    loyalty involves rooting for them win or lose.. not thinking they will win a certain number of games.. or thinking every player is the best player in the league.

    If the Rockets end up winning 50 games, they'll possibly the hottest team going into the playoffs.

    I don't think it's nuts. 11-6 is possible to finish the season. I just don't think it will actually happen.

    I voted no.

    Once we clinch a playoff spot, we'll give the back court some rest. Those guys have played 40+ minutes every night and could use a breather before playoffs.

    ohh gawwd. some of you have an insatiable desire to create drama.

    i now see how it could be skewed to a big pile of drama that i was questioning someones loyalty but its not the case. for the 2nd time:

    jeff makes a point that to believe in 50 Wins is a fan loyalty that is "blind".

    i say: please enlighten me with the substance that i am so blind to. analyze, debate over the why you think the rockets will end the last 17 games under .500.

    We'll win 50. However we draw Dallas, Sac, Wolves, let's go smash them!!!! I would really like the Rockets to face 'The Fantastic Four' L.A. Lakers and send their superstars to the Negative Zone.

    What's coming up in two years?

    THE BIG BROADCAST OF 2006 - THE ROCKETS 3RD CHAMPIONSHIP, THE BIG THREE - DYNASTY, FRANCHISE & CAT HAVE BROUGHT CLUTCH CITY BACK FROM THE ASHES - AND ONTO THE PROMISED LAND!

    Make on that!

    A nostalgic, ironic, bitter, dissappointed, jaundiced . . . bump.
