Rockets win 22 in a row... Options

i think its not as big of a deal as TV is making it, they beat teams with the best players out. I dont think they will win a championship either, Lakers r gonna take it all.

Its just a huge let down if u dont win it all. Ask any NBA player what the goal for the season is. Its to win it all, it aint about winning a certain amount of games. How could u say it dont matter if u get the ring or not? That sounds absurd.

So i guess everybody and every team in the NBA, MLB, NHL, or NFL hall of fame who owns a record but never won a championship is worthless. Makes sense.

To win a championship is every athlete's goal, but just cuz u dont get there doesnt always mean you're a failure. So if an NBA team were to win every game in the NBA season and go undefeated...u wouldnt call taht a feat in itself unless they win a ring? BS. If that's the case i think Cal Ripken is one of the most overrated baseball players in MLB history and shouldnt be recognized as anything but an average ball player. Same with Marino. He is overrated cuz he never won a championship. Karl Malone and Stockton? They're not good cuz they never got the ring. Patriots set numerous records this year as in most points in a season, best team record in an NFL reg. season...they didnt win the super bowl, but it's still one of the greatest seasons by a team in NFL history.

I guess Will Perdue is a better basketball player than Karl Malone simply cuz he has a ring.

Now u comparing individual performance with team wins? U ask T Mac would he rather be and all star, or have a ring. What do u think he will say? MLB and NFL puts more emphases on solo feats thats why u call get into cooperstown with 15 yeasr of being a mediocre baseball player. There is not best player off the bench award in any other pro league, in the NBA they have the 6th man bcuz basketball is considered more of a team sport then the other pro games. And u r trying 2 tell me the Pats season was not a let down? I mean yeah 22 in nice but it dont make the season. The only reason its this big is bcuz Sportscenter shoves it down your throat so it must be a big deal.
