1. You wonder if your team is cursed with major injuries (Yao and McGrady). 2. You wonder why your role players are so terrible (Ryan Bowen, Juwan Howard, Chuck Hayes, Rafer Alston, Mike James, Steve Francis) 3. You wonder why your guards and PF are so short 4. You wonder why we can't get any calls (Yao butchered - no call; Yao touches anyone - foul. Repeat for all Rockets). 5. At least most of your May and June are free as you wonder why we can't win a playoff series.
6. You wonder why we drafted guys like Bostjan Nachbar, Brandon Armstrong, Jason Callons, Joel Przybilla, Kenny Thomas, Michael Dickerson, Bryce Drew, Mirsad Turckan, and Rodrick Rhodes EDIT: Sorry not Michael Dickerson, he was actually pretty good, but we traded him and injuries took over.
7. Having to deal with all the bandwagon fans jumping on and jumping off. But thats every game and every team. Seems like it was the worse during the streak, then riding into the playoffs.
We have won 2 titles. Not many franchises can say that. Think of what Dallas or Phoenix or Utah would give up to have one title. They would rather be like Miami now as long as they have the title.
R.I.P, you shouldn't have mentioned his name. He was a good player but he got lost . If only a coach spoke to him, he would've become a good player.
R.I.P Jason Collier as well. Joel Pryzbilla, Boki and Kenny Thomas all were decent nba players at some point in their careers. Pryzbilla is doing well in portland right now I would love to have him as a backup to Yao next year. And Boki found a nice niche in NJ.
we have to hear how our titles are tainted with MJ not being in the league EVEN though he played in 1995, and then people say well he didnt play enough! and then we have to remind them how he dropped 50 points on the knicks that year. being a rockets fan ain't easy.
There are more, many more. Then throw in the mind-numbing trades and inconceivable contracts since the championship years and you have got yourself in a pickle. Can Morey captain the boat through the ice bergs of the stupid decisions of the past, that is the question? And can he do it on the cheap, that is what Les wants to know? How many fans will be satisfied with regular season success and really "cool" promotions? Les wants to know that too.
you wonder why your allstar wingman fades down the stretch while watching kobe and lebron james carry
Hey I would rather be a ROCKETS FAN with 2 CHAMPIONSHIP and a guy name YAO to build around .... than be a Mavericks Jazz fans with NO CHAMPIONSHIP but gotten close.
If we gave rep points here, I would give you one for that. I cant even listen to the radio right now because Im tired of hearing it.
how bout reading in your own hometown newspaper that all of our sports teams are garbage!!!! how bout a little positiveness.....if thats a word. yea.
Series isn't over but still the future is brighter than the current situation we're in and I can't stand band wagon fans yapping about how we'll never get out of the 1st round and Tmac is soft and Yao is slow blah blah blah all they do is quote the media and it pisses me off GO ROX... For sure next year is something to look foward to we have a huge ball of potential
after reading the first part of your post the LAST thing i would have thought to read was you already talking about next year...hhmmm...
