The Houston Rockets finished 17-55, the worst record of any team in this 72-game season. You have to be bad to fail 76% of the time, and they were: Houston had a 20-game losing streak, a seven-game slide and not one, not two, but three five-game runs of Ls. The Rockets spent nearly 60% of the season on losing streaks of at least five games. That is some opulent suckitude.
Can you tell Houston broke my heart in 1994? There is a connection to our here-and-now hardcourt heroes, one that hopefully makes it easier to cope with your nerves buzzing in the build-up to Game 2.
