    1. The Chicago loss, blowing 17 point lead in 4th quarter.

    2. Portland loss, on Roy's buzzer beater.

    3. Every loss against the Lakers, 1st game, we held a 16 point lead, 3rd game held 14 point lead, and the last game we had 14-3 run into the 4th quarter. We lost every game by I think on average almost 18 points.

    4. The loss at home against Boston, which was way too winnable.

    5. Good number of odd losses against those Eastern Conference teams, like the Pacers, the Hawks (on the road), and the Cavs.

    The 4th quarter choke-job to the Bulls. All Adelman had to do was yank Brooks and put in Lowry. Instead Adelman even said he wanted AB to play through it to help him grow. Hope that was worth it Rick.

    Milwaukee. That was even worse than the Wizards loss. Chicago was really bad too.

    One game left we don't know who we'll be matched up against. We could easily have the 2nd seed or drop to 5th seed. We are not guaranteed to play the Blazers.

    for terrible game of this season, none other comes even close to the pathetic blow-out game at Milwaukee. They were depleted of 3 starters, and still made us look like a WMBA team. Can't get more depressing than that.

    I'm not dwelling on any loss, really. We excised the tumor. The way we closed off the season following the infamous Milwaukee loss is beyond commendable - the guys deserve a lot of praise for pulling together.

    Last year, Yao went down 12 games into the 22 game streak. Once the streak snapped, the squad played like garbage and that slid into the playoffs. I feel worlds better about this squad.

    22-7 (0.759) since Milwaukee.

    Go Rockets!

    those earlier losses to garbage teams for us are happening to other top teams towards the end of the season

    ie for jazz, spurs, hornets

    the Clippers game made me embarrassed to be a Rockets fan for a day or two.

    pick any one between Memphis, Milwaukee, Philly, New York, or Toronto...

    By far. That is really kicking us in the rear right about now.

    portlands buzzer beater was devastating, especially after yao had hit an increidble turn around jumper.

    also the collapse in chicago was heartbreaking.

    Either loss to Utah or they will be sitting at 8 and preparing for the first round exit.

    that does it for me. those games we lost to the bottom feeders are painful. not saying we'd win them all, since no one does, but we should've at least won 5 more out of them. oh well.

    that, plus the game we dropped at san antonio.

    At this point, I could care less about any of the losses. The team is playing great, and all I care about is finishing the season off with a big win and momentum going into the 1st round of the playoffs!

    haha, i got drunk that night before watching the game on DVR. i got home around 3am and started to watch, then passed out in the 4th quarter. the last i remember, we were up big so i didn't bother watching the rest of the game that morning. still thought we had won until i saw the internet later that day.

    Bulls game EASILY takes the cake... even though its a non-conference game... you just cant blow a 17 point lead like that!!
