No I didn't read anything in this thread. But that's the true beauty of this. You're going to go through something called "Suicidal Big Cat/Wisconsin Fans". @beekay414 @malibuspeedrace can back me up on this, but it's basically this same cycle: You go into the season with a clear identity of who you are. In the Rockets case, a mid seed playoff team that gets bounced early. Throughout the season, you see good performances. You start talking yourself into thinking that this year might be different. There's a big regular season win or something, you're high up in the power rankings, etc. etc. You believe that this is the year. You're emotionally invested come playoff time. You lose exactly where you would have predicted in Step 1, only you get your heart ripped out and want to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s only like 5-6 teams in the league that fit that category and Houston is one of them. It’s a very weird move but it fits Morey’s MO. Acquire stars, ???, championships.

That “our year” moment usually comes in round 1 of the playoffs where you are the higher seed tied 1-1 and you beat a team you were supposed to beat in game 3 on the road down 6 at the start of the fourth and your like alright now we’re real this team is different all these other guys don’t even know. Only to lose 4-1 in the semis with everyone mocking you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know going into this season, that Wisconsin should win the Big Ten West in CFB, and will get murdered by OSU. I'm aware that I'm susceptible to suicidal Wisconsin fan syndrome. It won't matter. I'll still want to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not my opinion, so your comments have no bearing on me whatsoever. Same thing is encountered on the football threads when someone takes umbrage with the tweets of some beat writer because they dont happen to like them. "I dont like Nagler.....I dont like Cohen....I dont like Kruze" Oh well. Its an opinion about some set of facts. Like it. Dont like it. Doesnt matter to me.

My reply was merely mocking that notion. They made the finals together already though. So how can you say it hey won’t mesh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just going to act like Kevin Durant wasn't on that team? Harden and Westbrook are both way more ball dominant now. I don't think it'll fail on a personal level, they like each other. It just won't work on the court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
