THE HOUSTON ROCKETS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION

Mike D'Antoni walks into the somber locker room

D'Antoni: "Listen guys, there isn't much to say. At the end of the day 29 teams go home disappointed, and today just wasn't our day. Hell, I have felt like this at the end of every year, and I've coached much better teams than this."

Harden: "Coach, maybe this speech would be better for another day."

D'Antoni: "James, do you remember the first thing I said to you when they hired me?"

Harden: "You asked me if they installed handicap bathrooms in the locker room for Corey Brewer."

D'Antoni: "Well after that, I told you that win or lose, we were going to make our fans proud, and we did that."

Wiltjer: "Well coach, I shit post on r/NBA and Rockets fans talk about how winning is all that matters, so technically that isn't true."

D'Antoni: Looks at Wiltjer "Who the fuck are you?"

Beverley: "That is Kyle Wiltjer, he is the second white guy on our team that doesn't do shit."

Anderson: "Second? Who is the fir.........oh."

D'Antoni: Pulls out heart shaped locket and releases the clasp "Oh how I miss you Jeremy."
