The Rockets might deny it now, but they used to really get into that no respect nonsense.

They brought it up a lot during the 22-game winning streak, when there were comments made about their schedule and they rightfully thought that any winning streak that grows to as much as 22 games was way, way beyond such foolish slights.

They said it early last season when Tracy McGrady and Ron Artest were going in and out of the lineup. They lived it when Yao Ming went down after three games of the second-round series against the Lakers. And now, now that they are doubted as never before, now that Charles Barkley declared them destined for the worst record in the Western Conference, now that they would seem to have more than enough reason to believe everyone against them again, they insist on talking about what they believe, instead.

...

With that out of the way, however, Brooks had some fun.

"It's extremely early," Brooks said. "We just admire that 'Karl' would think so much of us to say that."
