As a Rocketsfag, I'd say I'm slightly remorseful, but not disappointed. It's just bad luck...I mean missing Yao is one thing, but losing Rafer and forcing McGrady to play injured - and still nearly grabbing a triple double? I'm impressed actually.
I know we're going to go on to lose this series. I know TMac will, again, fail to make it out of the first round. And shitsux, that's true, but it's not the discontent of having all the pieces and fucking it up like last year. It was just misfortune. Through it all we got a 22 game win streak, which to me in itself isn't as impressive as the fact that it opened up a style of play that utilizes everyone. People who were never even in our rotation last season averaged 20+ ppg during our streak.
All in all, if Yao comes back next year to play an even remotely healthy season, we will be a very dominant force in the West (and by extension the league as a whole). Doubt we're going to win a title, but I can guarantee you we'll make it out of the first round. And hats off to Adelman too.
