    *This* excited?

    The mid 90s.

    No joke.

    It's been quite a while.

    Kidding aside, I haven't been this excited since opening day when Beardsanity played their first games for the Rockets. :p

    Ever since 93. I'm not some bandwagon fan. The hard times make these times sweeter.

    I haven't been this excited to track the Rockets on ESPN's gamecast while thinking horrible thoughts about cable/satellite companies in years.

    A true fan doesn't get excited with just one player signing for his team.

    I am NOT "this excited" to see one player in my team.

    I was most excited during the 1994 championship games, followed by the 15-game season-started STREAK.

    The Rockets are the youngest team in the league, and their best players are all in the 23-26 year range and locked into long-term contracts. There appears to be only upside with this bunch, and we'll have plenty of cap room this summer to acquire more talent.

    I probably haven't been this excited since McGrady's first year with us.

    Every game - that includes SL, Preseason, regular season and playoffs (though we've been short on those games of late). I just love watching Rockets play, no matter when. My family can attest that I go into a trance when they play.

    Last time was when the Rockets had Yao/Tmac both healthy during the Utah playoff series they lost. After that there were exciting moments always tempered by one of our building blocks being injured. The last 3 years has been a steady decline in excitement but now I'm pumped up again.
