Initially, I was pretty upset. When the Warriors beat the Mavpricks, I felt a little better. After seeing the dejected looks on all of the Mavs fans faces in class today, I feel pretty good.
Amen to that... what is with all the out of control posts? Trade Yao? Claiming either Yao or JVG have to go... etc. etc. You'd think we already lost the damn series. But... I'm holding up pretty well. I predicted early on that we'd win in 6; welp thats out the window, but I'm cautiously optimistic about tomorrow night. We've got the homecourt, the crowd is gonna be nuts, and I think Tracy is gonna play out of his mind. I think we'll take game 7 and move on to the warriors.
I know it'll be hard to concentrate at work tomorrow afternoon. I have two tickets for tomorrow, as I do for the entire playoffs and I'll probably just be looking at them in anticipation instead of focusing on my work. I was really pissed last night but Dallas getting embarassed helped a little bit. If the Rox lost tomorrow though, I'll be depressed for awhile.
An expected tough series as many have predicted. Just don't understand why so many people acting like we are gonna win it all after one win and talking about trading Yao after a loss. I think the reason why our performance has been so inconstant is because we have obvious disadvantages at 1 and 4 and need our superstars to cover it up by their superior plays. Seriously, have some patience, we are gonna win Game 7.
I'm one of the biggest rockets fans anybody know, but I refuse to let a team give me a heart attack. I will be cheering my butt off, but f we don't win then I just know we wernt the better team.
I was actually extremely disappointed with the way we folded down the stretch last night, the mavs loss at least made me feel better knowing those bastards still won't have an NBA Title for another year. But last night I didn't see much heart, If we could have had Game 1-2 Tmac and Yao out there with the way the bench showed up last night, it wouldn't have been close. But again I saw too many turnovers from Yao and a T-Mac who didn't seem to want it as much as Utah, even though he damn well should. All I can say is that this Game 7 will pretty much define Tracy McGrady's career. wish him the best
It is really sort of strange if you step back and see how crazy we are about players we have never meet, never played with, never been in the locker room with, never been on the plain after losing or winning a pivital game. I still feel like I know them like a brother. It really boggles my mind if I think rational about my Rockets love. I touch the screen to energize the players. I do eveything thing in threes. If I turn my Rox cap backward for the 4th quarter, I do it three times. I scream so loud I lose my voice at home. It's crazy, and I know I am hurting my heart with all of this stress. I am a totally different person when we lose. I am not much of a baseball fan, so right now until football, the Rox is all I have. I am normally bumbed for a few weeks after a Rox season is over. I know good things are going to happen this year. We beat SA in SA. We beat Suns at thier best a month ago, and GS has knocked out Dallas, which gives us HCA in 2nd round. We have a post game miss-match for GS, and the number one reason I know something big is going to happen..... .... .... .... .... I BELIEVE!!!
From the Game 6 loss till tonight, I have thoughts of not caring if Rockets will win or lose Game 7. Id say borderline depression, knowing that we will not win the championship this year has been on my mind alot.
After a little over a decade of letdowns, with the rockets, yesterday was the crappiest I have felt since stocktons dagger to end barckely’s bid for a ring. After yesterdays game, I felt a lot of things cant even begin to describe it, but one thing, I’m really frustrated. The statement 'Mings the most dominant center in the NBA hands down'' is quite deceiving. And we desperately need some role-players that can knock the open 3. Most of all this team is lacking sole big-time. I truly enjoyed the team with berry, jackson, Sura and all. Any case I still hope and believe. The only thing that put the smirk back on my face was the warriors, I thank them for that.
I'm feeling great. One more game to go and then we won't ever have to see Gundy coaching the Rockets again. We can get a coach that actually has a clue on the offensive end and this team can finally achieve it's potential. For the sake of the Rockets' title chances, go Jazz.
I'm officially losing my mind...which means it is a game 7 against Utah...and nothing could be better. goddammit!!
Personally, I'm having a difficult time focusing on anything . . . my mind starts wandering, and then I get all nervous about the Rockets. I just want them to win so badly, I can hardly stand it.
As you may or may not know I am outside of the US in Colombia. I am so nervous about tommorrow night. I am fortunate that tonight my friends are dragging me out to bars and clubs and to have a good time rather than being a recluse in my apartment waiting for SOPCAST to broadcast the games. I watch them alone b/c everyone here is a soccer fan so I feel the pain, anguish, joy and happiness alone. Fortunately if we lose I will drown my sorrows in the lust of several Colombian women but afterwards I will feel empty and dead inside. (Sigh) Please win Rockets, Please. I want to feel happy after I bust a nut.
Hey, I am a Colombian living in the US! It is difficult, but you will find people in Colombia that follow the NBA. But they definitely will not be Rockets fans. I think all playoff series should be back to back to back. It is cruel and unusual punishment for the fans to have them wait two, three days for the next game.
It's been a weird 24 hours since the last game, I have been walking around and out of the blue all I can think about is will Yao take control of the game, will Mac be as agressive as possible, will the bench stand up. Hell I went to bed and it was all I could think about. It also makes it 10 times as hard as no one here in Perth, Aus (Well any of my friends) can understand why I feel like this about a team who is across the other side of the world. Please get the job done Rockets
I am calm and anxious, however very nervous at the sametime. I truly believe the Rockets will win tomorrow, and if there is any fan that attends Game 7 and has any voice the next couple of days F-em. I too am in Perth, Australia and if I was able to go to the game, I would make Oakland's arena like a library. This is why HCA was so important, we fought for it, we won it. Rockets are 3-0 in game 7's at home, lets make it 4-0! Tmac will be aggressive, Yao Ming will make Chris Kaman look like a girl scout, it will be raining 3's by Shane Battier and Luther Head. We got this, Go Rockets!!!!
This time around is alot worse than the championship runs....I feel like this team is pretty good, but back in the Dream days, you just always knew that they would pull out any close games...with this team they just don't have that experience or swagger yet...makes me watch the games these days with my heart in my throat the whole time...
