    It depends on the circumstances. If the Rockets get swept by a lower seeded team, or blow a big lead then Adelman is at risk. Otherwise, I think they will want to see what adding a $20 million piece(s) might do to the roster.

    Plain and simple, if we don't get out of the first round, I will cry, take a day off from work, wear black for a month, and resort to drinking away the pain of the playoffs.

    I don't think anything should change much. A player representing 22 million of our payroll is contributing nothing. Under those circumstances, most teams (actually, every team other than ours) would not be favored to win a first round.

    F.A.I.L

    what's with all these, if, if, threads?
    I'll give you some ifs
    if we had gay
    if we lose
    if tmac was still here
    if landry wasn't shot
    is that enough ifs?

    I just hope stupid McGrady can rebuild my shattered faith in him next season. I mean, I want to root for the guy, but the things he does are just mind numbing. I hope he regains at least a good portion of what he lost, and that he can contribute at a high level next season.

    We take a day to recover, take a deep breath and support the rockets until the day they cease to exist. The overall impact is minimal considering that this a just a game. I know we are all passionate fans, but at the end of the day we should be happy to have a team we love this much regardless of the outcome. I'd love to get out of the second round, but if we don't then I can still sleep at night knowing I have a team that gives me such highs and lows.

    I would try to get the best trade possible for Yao because otherwise he could just leave us and then let McGrady's contract expire and sign up a couple of free agents and/or a 1st round pick. Ron also would be better off in a sign and trade to a veteran team in this situation. I might re-sign Luis to a slightly bigger contract and retain Landry as well. I probably would look to trade Aaron for a 1st round pick and retain Lowry. Battier can stay till the end of his contract. I would also look to re-sign Von Wafer for a 2.5-3m contract.

    we wouldn't have enough evidence to accuse him as he is already done and won't play the playoffs as a rocket. If that happened to come true, Ron would surely have to act as the scapegoat. :D
