I am so impressed and proud of my Rockets team. They come out every night and play hard; through adversity, injuries, and negative media. Our star talent, Tracy McGrady, went down. Our shot rejecting team motivator, Mutumbo, went down. And our rock foundation the Great Wall Yao Ming went down. No one would have thought we'd be in this series, yet here we are. Hell, they even predicted we'd lose to the Trailblazers. What now?
Look at all the stars on the Lakers. Bynum, Odom, Gasol, Bryant... all these players are fantastic with great futures. The Rockets? We have an assortment of good, but not ultra-talented players, who play tough every night with teamwork. I mean, what analysts talked about Aaron Brooks before the playoffs started? No one. Who talked about Shane Battier's defensive prowess? No one. And even though our soldier and crux of our team Yao Ming went down we not only beat the Lakers, but we dominated them. Lakers sweeping the Rockets for the series? Gimme a break.
We don't need a Kobe, a Lebron, or a Wade. We don't need to play dirty, throwing elbows and trash talking. This is why I love the Houston Rockets, the epitome of hard work and teamwork.
