Rockets lose to Lakers, but does anyone outside of Houston care?

The Houston Rockets (3-2) are actually off to an impressive start. Tonight they lost a heart-breaker 102-103 to the Lakers in overtime. It stinks that this game was not nationally televised because it was amazing. There has been so much talk of how the Rockets were not going to be nearly as good as they were last year without Yao and T-Mac. This team is good though. Trevor Ariza is playing great, everybody is starting to find their place on the team and there is plenty of room for growth on this team.

This game was tough to swallow, but the toughest thing is that our good team will probably not get any national respect because of the fact that there are no super stars on the roster.

Also, what’s up with booing Artest? Basketball is business. The guy signed with a team with a better chance of winning a championship. If you learned Yao would be out all season, you’d want to go to another team too. The man was a huge part of our team last year and I think many fans just forgot that.
