The Kings have not lost a home game this season, so one loss to the Kings may be dissapointing, but is not too troublesome. I don't think we have played really poorly all season. We have not been on the wrong side of any blowouts and we are now playing our 3rd and 4th string pgs. This team has a bright future ahead, and I would much rather be where we are now than where teams like the Kings and Heat are, because Shaq, Webber, etc are just going to decline as time passes.
I am disappointed by this "jump to conclusion" claim. Yao and T-Mac actually work very well together, which is a great positive sign.
lanqui, I posted this in your other "the sky is falling" thread... This may come as a shock to you but the Rockets organization did exist before your hero Yao got here. Actually, it has fared quite well thank you very much. You see, there was this other center we used to have who was also drafted #1 and well....he was pretty good. He took the team to the Finals his rookie year and they managed to get a couple of wins against what I and many others still consider to be the best team in the history of the NBA. After we lost, we weren't too upset because we all figured that this team would be a dynasty for years to come. What happened? Well, the team was ripped apart the very next year by injuries and drug suspensions. Poof. It was all gone. For the next 10 years, our great center was surrounded by a lot of subpar NBA talent. We never even sniffed the Finals. Finally, after years of slowly building the team, adding a piece here, adding a piece there, we won a couple of championships and there was much rejoicing. In a few years, our great center will be a first ballot hall of famer. My point in all of this is that you are acting like this years team is a finished product. You are acting like management thinks that this is the team to all the way. Your expectations are that 2 years after being in the lottery, we should win 70 games and win a championship. lanqui1, this is the NBA and championship teams are not built from scratch in 1 or 2 years. Everyone in this thread seems to understand that except you. And before you say what I think you're going to say, no, it shouldn't take 10 more years. And it won't. That's not what I'm saying. I say in 2 or 3 years, this team will be a championship team. If that's not soon enough for you, why don't you just go away until then.
You are aware that the rockets need time to come togheter. When th eplay-off comes i think we are capable to match against other contenders in a 7 game serie. I do not think we will be champions this year. butwho knows. I think the rockets need a better role players. But our core of T-mac and yao is great. history has shown that 2-man teams do work. Almost every championship in the last couple of decades were 2 man teams.
