Remember last year when a bunch of y'all were talking about "sweep" after the first two games? This series ain't over yet and there's still a lot more basketball to be played. Its as premature now for us Rox fans to be crying that we're toast as much as it was last year when so many of us were declaring we were going to sweep. GO ROX! Don't bail on your team when the series ain't over!
I dont understand. Im betting 100% that Jazz fans were very confident their team could comeback after 0-2 deficit? Us? Were ripping on the team, barely nobody has anymore hope and were already discussing free agents and offseason 2008. I know were a bit discouraged but seriously, do you even have the guts to say your a hardcore rockets fan if your not even bothering to think of the impossible?
The difference is, we lost at home. And they are the best home team in the league. Just trying to be objective...
Its the playoffs, anything can happen. If its anybody rising up and going against all odds, its the Houston Rockets this season.
Some of us are FANS, not cheerleaders. I understand being pissed at the people who constantly crap all over our players, but I don't get this "if you don't believe, YOU'RE NOT A REAL FAN!!!!!!!!111" line of thinking. This team, as much as I love them, has done nothing in the last 10 years to convince me that they have a 95-like run in them. I don't think that makes me any less of a fan than anyone else, seeing as how I've been bleeding Rockets red for 30 years. Hell, even Clutch himself has started a thread talking about next season. Do you doubt his fandom?
Its not whether you're a real fan or not. Yes objectively things don't look good for the Rockets but its an objective fact that the series is not over! Yes things look difficult but people are acting like we are done already. Its might be cliche but its true. There is a reason why the games are played.
Somehow the playoffs in your first sentence doesn't jive with your second sentence. This team has defied odds in the regular season, but I yet to see any sign they can do that in the playoffs. I wish they take two in SLC, but not holding my hopes high.
