Wake me when the Rockets stop being mediocre

Yeah, I know, I haven't posted much in the last week or so...
cut me some slack, I'm stuck in a trial wherein I have no responsibilities here whatsoever. Which only makes things more difficult to keep up with.

In the meantime, I won't make too much of an effort to be creative and witty here until the Rockets have 3 consecutive games where they are not mediocre and actually look like a professional basketball team...

Right now, that doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon.

Wake me up whenever we're "back".

but grunge.....

we destroyed the spurs on Saturday night by 19. We played very tough in a back-back situation against a hot nuggets team on the road. We came home and beat the clips like we were supposed to while hitting 10 three pointers.
I’m thinking we’re playing much better than mediocre.
Any reason specifically why you think we’re just mediocre now?

uhhh, here's one example

We couldn’t close out the freakin’ CLIPPERS until there was just a minute left in the game. We kept letting L.A. back into it. Even though their PG had a case of the “runs”… we still couldn’t stop them. That’s not exactly an inspiring performance.

the ONLY games we have played this year where we looked like a competent/playoff team are:

Oct. 30 at Dallas
Nov. 12 at Phoenix
Nov. 15 v. New Orleans
Nov. 22 at Orlando
and Nov. 29 v. San Antonio

every single other game has been a scratch-and-claw to the finish. Teams we should have put away by halftime found a way to stay in the game. Not a good sign. So, until we find that killer instinct against the OKCs and Washingtons of the world… I’m going to take a little nap.
