yawn... not much to see here at the moment

So the Rockets have limped back to barely being over .500. At least they have the Nets to pick on tonight (though the Nets have been quite feisty lately). Then again...

as exciting as the Kevin Martin trade was, and as good as the Rockets are gonna be next year because of Mr. Morey's savvy trade skillz...

I'm finding it harder and harder to write creative and whimsical things about my favorite team. Which kind of explains my recent absence here. Yes, the Rockets will surpass 35 wins this season. Which kinda sorta will prove me wrong... but not really. And yes, the Rockets have a bunch of guys that you can root for now. Even Tweek. There's no more Rafer or Luther Head or Brian Cook... these are all guys I truly enjoy watching. Even if Shane Battier runs up and down the court like he's 60 years old.

That said... I'm getting an Officer Barbrady complex about this team. As in:

In light of this, someone give me a reason to return to being overly emotionally invested in this team. WIth under 20 games to go and nice weather returning... maybe Coach Sleepy comes out of hibernation and the Rockets finish the season on a big kick? Maybe? Or am I grasping at straws here? Someone - anyone - help me out here.

Oh, and the person who suggests "well, you only have 19 more games to watch Luis Scola in a Rockets jersey" gets insta-banned. FYI.

I feel fairly confident that the only way Scola isn’t a Rocket next year is if he’s packaged in a sign & trade for a superstar or some other team offers him $12 mil a year. In either case, it would be sad to see him go but I’d be psyched for the former and wouldn’t want to pay for the latter.

Jordan Hill make New York’s coaching staff feel really, really stupid. (at least I hope he does).

Well,

What else are you going to watch?
Spring Training,where even the players leave after 5 innings?
March Madness,where a few yrs ago a college coach was qouted in SI as saying that even when the college players actually played hard,they still sucked?

Because w/out the Rockets in the Playoffs,who do you root for?
The LA Lakers vs the Portland Almost Rockets(Roy,Fernandez,Batum)?
The Dallas Whiners vs the San Antonio Gimps?
The Denver Frontrunners vs the Phoenix Geezers in a flop-off?
The Utah Sold Our Shriveled Souls vs the OKC Team of Good Young Players w/ Douche Bag Owner and Former Owner?

Becuse..would you want to miss the good chance of Lowry pulling off some dudes’ arm when he fights for a rebound?

Because… would you want to miss the Basketball Gods yanking Ariza off the court after an incredible display of non-ball-handling?
