1.) We're expected to lose, in fact to be swept, so any other outcome is pretty much better than what is expected. 2.) Great storyline/drama. Harden leading his new team vs his old team = good stuff. 3.) We do have a good team. Its not a great team, nor a very consistent one, but its not supposed to be yet so thats okay. 4.) youngest team in the league makes the playoffs? and its MY team? great. 5.) losing to the Thunder is the best experience Houston will get in Western Conference playoff exposure. Win or lose, there will be no better way to come into next season than facing the best in a playoff atmosphere. I actually believe we probably wouldn't have succeeded against SA or DEN, but this experience will go the farthest going forward. 6.) We went what....3 years in a row being the 9th seed, then changed our ENTIRE club/lineup and got into the playoffs? rock. anyways, good times. There's probably more, but I'm tired. :grin: I wish I could go to a game... never been to an NBA playoff game and I envy any of you that get to go. Hmm, 33, fan since '91...but the timing has always just been wrong, ugh. I can't wait til tomorrow night. Later!
