“Never underestimate the heart of a champion”
- Rudy Tomjanovich (Houston Rockets coach)

It was 15 years ago that Rudy T spoke that line after the NBA finals where the Rockets claimed their first championship.  The next year, they swept Shaq’s Orlando Magic for two in a row.  Since then, not too much has happened.

This year though, Yao and Mcgrady led Houston to a perfect February.  After news broke that Yao would miss the rest of the season a lot of fans were disheartened thinking our championship hopes were gone.  5 games later – Rockets still roll on!  16 wins in a row beats the franchise record set back during the season of Houston’s first championship. 

Next up, Dallas.  Today I told Kristan I hate the Dallas Mavericks to which she replied, “Hate is a pretty strong word”.  I told her if I knew a stronger one I would use that! 

Yea, in the grande scheme it may not be that important…but I don’t watch basketball to think about the grande scheme.  I watch to see my hometown Rockets destroy Dirk and the Mavs.
