Maybe I'll interject some facts for you

1. Over the last 7 seasons in which the Grizz have made the playoffs (only 2 other teams have longer active streaks btw), they have averaged 49 wins a season. This doesn't include the shortened 11-12 season (they were on pace for 51 wins that season). it also includes last year where the Grizzlies, quite literally, had everyone on their roster go down with an injury. They started like 35 different guys over the course of the season

2. They've made it past the 1st round in 3 of those 7 seasons, including the WCF a few years ago

3. In that same time span, your Houston Rockets have only made the playoffs 5/7 years

4. Your Houston Rockets have been bounced from the playoffs in the first round in 3/5 of their playoff seasons

5. Your Houston Rockets have also averaged 49 wins over the past 7 seasons (also withholding the the shortened season, which is good for Houston because they went 34-32 and missed the playoffs)

6. whoopdie fricking doo right?
