Getting a dictionary would be a good idea. 17 and 12 is not mediocre by any stretch of the imagination, specially considering the hard schedule. The Rockets are a GOOD to VERY GOOD team. A mediocre team would be BELOW AVERAGE to AVERAGE.
This thread has made my mind numb. Normally I'd agree that making the playoffs isn't a big deal, but this team contending for a playoff spot is going to be a huge accomplishment. Half of our payroll is either mediocre (good luck TMac) or injured and this team has victories this year that really want to make you scratch your head. If you can't enjoy the ride this year you may as well not post until late June, much less start a pathetic thread.
