The Rockets went 52-30, and would've been even better if Yao Ming hadn't missed 32 games with a broken right leg. Tracy McGrady kept Houston afloat during Yao's absence, averaging 28 points and leading Houston to a 20-12 record.
McGrady may have played the best all-around season of his 10-year career, averaging 25 points, five rebounds and a career-high 6.5 assists.
But the seven-time All-Star dropped to 0-6 in playoff series despite scoring 29 points, dishing out 13 assists and grabbing five rebounds in Game 7.
The result will rekindle the doubts about whether McGrady and Yao will ever be able to carry this team - or any team - when it matters most.
