I'm still here

I've been a Rockets fan since they came to Houston and I will continue to love and support the team. That's what I mean when I say I'm still here. So why do the guys who are making gazillions of dollars seem like they are mailing in the rest of the season? I haven't seen such mediocre efforts from this team since Steve Francis left. I can deal with the losing. I just can't deal with not giving it 100%. Yes, they are mathmatically out of the playoffs, but unless they are going to lower ticket prioces for the rest of the games, why have they stopped trying? I'm still here and I'm still watching.

Last night in Boston was frustrating. Not for the Rockets, but me personally. I set my DVR to record the game and, as often happens when the games are close, the game took more time to play that was allowed for by Comcast. With less than a minute to play, the recording stopped and I think the TV actually thumbed its nose at me. I missed the OT and a gritty Rockets win. Why can't Comcast monitor the game length and extend the recording as required? It sounds like pretty simple technology to me. They automatically extend the broadcast, why not the recording?
