No need to leave just because you're getting your pushed in at home on national television. It's happened to almost everyone here.
It's been real.

Rockets will being back the same squad next year.
I dont get the 6 years schtick. Is it because of '09?
Don't come back then, Cal.
No idea.
My last post was in 2009 before about a month ago.
Hey cubby man, you never told me if you're pissed that Nash's flop may have cost you a chance to sweep the Cavs in 07.
I never defend my fandom.
It's my religion.
But you never told me if you're pissed that Nash's flop may have cost you a chance to sweep the Cavs in 07.
Lol what was the point to post here in 2009? the Rockets were utter shiet fools gold.
Cavs is Cubby's second team. He'd be pissed either way
No. I don't have a second team.
I knew that, I started this thread:

Hey I remember six years ago the Lakers were relevant!
Yes they were.
I remember 5 years ago when Artest put it back just up the street.
But I was talking about 2009, the 22 game streak was in 2008 and they were 53-29 in the 2009 regular season, this Rockets team was lucky enough to make it to the Western Finals.
I'll give you something up the street.
That team was not fool's gold, they suffered injuries or else they may have won back-to-back les.
worst take i have ever seen
The 2008 team went 19-7 down the stretch with the ageless Dikembe Mutumbo as the starting center and the short and offenseless Chuck Hayes getting the majority of playing time at center. They were broken and beat down as the season went on--if Carl Landry didn't get injured, the 22-game win streak may have lasted longer (he was routinely putting up a double double during it). Battier played late in the year knowing he needed surgery at the end of the year. The way they were playing when Yao went down and even immediately after, no one was gonna stop them. Win another few games and they would have been the 1-seed.
The next year, they lost T-Mac and still advanced out of the first round for the first time in over a decade. In that series, they lost Dikembe Mutumbo to a career ending injury then lost Yao 3 games into the next series against the eventual champion Lakers...and still forced them into a Game 7 after winning two more games.
So yes, they very well may have won back-to-back les if they were not bitten by the injury.
That's the one where Battier was chasing Kobe all over with that huge "Beat Kobe" binder. Though Bats had no trouble solving Duncan in '13. tee, hee.
Any rocketfan who says they had a chance with the Lakers that series. It wasn't a matter of a play here, or a play there for any of the Lakers wins. Every win that series was a skunker.
Yeah Lakers sleptwalked through the series and turned it on when it counted the most in game 7.
