Tribute to Rockets

Haha, I am writing this rather late.

As you all know, Houston Rockets finally made it to the second round of NBA playoffs. The first time Yao Ming succeeded to make it through. Lol. Still, they lost. Of course they would as they were fighting LA Lakers without Yao Ming after the second match.

But I have to praise them for their fighting spirit. Could you believe that they could actually drag the game to the seventh round? They only lost by 3-4, even without their tallest man!

What's the most impressive part? The Rockets horribly lost 40 points to Lakers in their fifth game, yet they didn't collapse. They managed to fight back in their sixth game to make it 3 all. They kind of reminded me of Shohoku Basketball Team of the Slam Dunk comic. Lol.

Finally, applause for them! ^^

not only did they not have yao ming, they didnt have any real centers! dikembe mutombo was the only other real center and he was lost in the first round against the blazers.
take away yao ming, deke and tracy, you put in chuck hayes, who's 6'6" against a team thats supposed to win it all this year and they go 2-2 in their final 4 games? thats some gritty team who wont go down easily!
