    Pleasure watching a great season with you.

    We most definitely had our awesome moments... 22 in a row... :eek:

    Oh what could have been had health been on our side.

    Looks like the injury bug just kept biting since Yao went down... and the Rockets just weren't deep enough to sustain the attacks.

    I cannot believe I'm saying this, but I don't blame T-Mac at all, even with no points in the 3rd tonight.

    Things just caught fire for Deron Williams in the third... Conversely, it looked like when Rafer went down we lost all heart.Hard to swallow, but what do you do?


    I think I'm going to watch some '94 finals dvd's for about five months...


    Again. :( ;)

    Don't be sad... the Mavs are still out, and the Jazz won't win squat this year.

    Next year, ladies and gentleman... Next year.

    Agreed.

    This season has been the best season this decade.

    It sucks, but I know these guys played hard, but sometimes luck is not on your side.

    22 in a row - enough said.

    T-mac did all he could.


    Can't wait until next season...

    Things to look forward to:

    Morey offeason
    Healthy Yao Ming
    Signing Landry, hopefully.

    This team never gave up, and I appreciate that. No one played harder.

    Just really sick of all the injuries our superstars keep getting. And now we don't even know if they're going to be healthy next year tool.

    This team did give some heart... but too much D.W. in 3rd Q.

    Moves I'd love to see in the offseason:

    1) Trade Tracy McGrady... we need some new leadership alongside Yao Ming.

    2) Re-Sign Carl Landry

    3) Hire JVG as an assistant coach? (LOL)

    You can't help but be proud of this team. This season will still go down as a success.

    Great effort by a team that had no luck with injuries this year. :mad:


    Here's for a injury free season next year. :(

    I have never been so proud after a loss in the first round like we went out this year. We showed heart which you dont see in pro sports too often. I don't care what anyone says, T-Mac isn't done, Yao is coming back, and the NBA better be ready, because its gonna go a lot longer than 22. Now just something to occupy my time until november 1st...

    Not really, not if you're bored with regular season accomplishments, which never materialize into post season victories.

    The Rockets deserve some leniency because Yao is out, but the win streak means absolutely nothing. This is a team that should be graded on playoff victories, nothing less.

    It was set in stone we weren't going to win when Rafer got hurt in this game. It's just the way the leg breaks...

    No way BJ sticks for next season. Can't weather these 1 fer and 2 fer 10s.

    Looks like the 3 rookies still need some seasoning. AB looks lost in this game. Carl got out played. and Scola is all hustle and no aim.

    Not a game to remember.

    well, i'm pretty mad. actually, realy mad. but what can i do? this series exposed our weakness, that we should address. tmac is not tmac no more. he can't score for 4 quarters, he's justnot good enough, :eek: :( :mad: :eek: i'm kind of mad/sad because of that, but what can i say? tracy's will is very mysterious and his fatigue is not what you call the best. as i'm typing this, i see mcgrady just acting like, he had no chance to win this series and smiling. :mad: our free throws are horrible, and our offense is just inconsistant.

    any trade that will help us talent wise should be traded. chemistry is the only reason we got to the playoffs, it can't carry us all the way, sadly. if it means getting artest for scrubs? then go ahead. if it means trading mcgrady for several great players, then go for it.
