I Believe...Again

Well my friends, I'm back; and for those of you who have made some very disparaging remarks about my beloved Rockets I would like to tell you "Tell me how my ass taste."

That was dedicated to T Mac 4 life for thinking he could insult my team without any comebacks. Like it or not, he should have known better. Now that we got this out of the way let us begin our daily lesson.

Family; friends; I am starting to do something that I haven’t done since 1997 and that is believing in the HOUSTON ROCKETS again. When Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon played here there was nothing I didn't think he couldn't do. When you grow up that way your expectation level on your sports team are sometime blown out of proportion. Watching the Rockets on Monday night, for the first time since Clutch City, I began to believe again.

I know many people who put on for my city are starting to feel the same way, and I don’t know if we will win this series but one thing I know is that this group of ROCKETS will make us proud. Houstonians the LA Quakers are on their way to the best city in the world, and it is upon us to make them feel so unwelcome here that they reference the Toyota Center when people talk about the worse places to play. I don't care if Kobina gets pissed and hits 50 points: if our team takes no prisoners shouldn't our crowd reciprocate the same passion as the team shows? I don't want them feel comfortable at all Friday. I want them to feel like they are in a jungle with no way out. I need 80% of the people in attendance to be the worst form of themselves. Sorry for the lay off, but I don’t do this for a living: I do this for you: the real sports fan.

Today vs. Tomorrow

Have you ever wondered why they came up with the phrase "don’t put off for tomorrow what you can do today"? Well this statement has continued to be on my mind, and I believe this comment should be applied to sports, and more than anything in life.

I hate when people say that they have a team for the future because the facts are plain: tomorrow isn't promised so why can't I be great today? The answer is simple "I CAN!" I will never allow a coach to get on TV or radio and say our team is re-building because, whenever you compete you should compete to win. I don't want your excuse that we will have success in the future. If I tell my employer that I am re-building my focus at work, he would point me to the nearest McDonald’s. Coaches, GM's and team presidents: beware the next time you do an interview and decide to make that classic excuse about our team. I want you to take that excuse and shove it up your ass.

Oh, before I go, if the Rockets would have taken care of business they wouldn't be in the position where they have to win tonight. Please pass this blog on to everyone who feels they can make it happen tomorrow, because like it or not we live for today and not for tomorrow.
