Hello, National Media. My name is Skye Walker and I'm a Houston Rockets fan. Please don't talk about how the Rockets are going to collapse before the first loss in 22 games is even complete. Please don't be talking about how great they are in one half and then completely reneg on that in the second. That's not buddies.
It took 21 games to be considered the real thing, and at 22-1 they're already on their way down. Say what? Bring it, Nawlins.
McGrady didn't get a point in the first half, but the Rockets scored 59 anyway.
Alston was 8-for-11 from beyond the arc.
Battier held Kobe to 24 points.
This team is for real.
Your Houston Rockets, ranked first in the West.
And in the Eastern Conference, we have our first elimination -- the Miami Heat, with eleven wins and fifty-three losses.
I was looking at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings today. Tell me this: how in the world are the Heat not yet eliminated from playoff contention? They have eleven wins!
Eleven!
"The Rockets have won 18 in a row, but Kenny Smith doesn't consider them legitimate contenders."
I also saw this line on sports.yahoo.com/nba when they were at 17 straight. I ask, "How many games do they gotta win 'fore you give 'em a chance, Kenny Smith?"
Don't fall prey to the lure of Houston-hating. We still love you, Kenny! Love us back!
In other news, I am moving to Hawai'i.
