I'm loving the Rockets streak. I've been a Rockets fan since the 03-04 season and we all know the disappointments they've been in the last few years.
It's amazing really. Rockets tied with Lakers for first seed in the West at the moment but that's soon going to change. Let's go Rockets!!!

What's even more suprising is that they won the last few with Yao Ming.
How about the team no one is talking about, the 76ers? They have beaten some quality teams lately, and they are 17-6 since Jan.26. Also, this week is Iverson's first game at Philadelphia since the trade last season.
Let's see how long the Rockets can keep the winning streak alive. I think it will end soon, but I am rooting for them to get the first seed in the West.

I pray this is the year that the Rockets finally get past the first round of the playoffs! 21 in a row, and 9 of them without Yao Ming! The team just may have better chemistry without Yao in the line-up, but I dunno for sure; it's just a thought. The BIG test is tonight against the Lakers. This will be the game to watch coming down the stretch of the regular seasons!
Well the Rockets schedule gets pretty tough from here on out but if they come out of it unscathed, they'll silence the people who say they've faced shitty teams along the way.
And has anybody seen Mike Harris play? The guy is 6'6, but he hustles hard and is pretty strong down low. In one possession on this vid, he outmuscles Okafor to score a bucket. And he can jump pretty well. Quality pick-up by the Rockets I would say.

Mike Harris = Carl Landry = Chuck Hayes
They're esentially the same person
True story.

Referring to Cleveland teams as a whole, they're some good.
Indians are great.
Browns are getting good and already looking great next year (10-6 randomly not making playoffs last season).
Cavs are getting better every season. Infinite injuries have plagued them (and still are) this season, but they're hanging in there. Half of their starters have been hurt all season... keeping that in mind I think they've been doing very well. On top of those injuries their bench has been hurt on and off too...

And I'm tired of the NBA/BSPN/the refs hanging off the "King's" jock. He's a great player sure, stop trying to make him MJ
And I'm also tired of people talking about Cleveland's injuries when we've missed our best player for most of the season and our second best player for 25 games while moat of Cleveland's injuries have been mostly role players (Ilgauskas has been healthy; LeBron has been healthy)
Totally agree, Lebron gets away with more travels than anybody in the league...
Game Winner last year vs Wizards

It's official. Rockets won 22 in a row now. Yea!!!! Go Rockets!!
It's official: The rockets are leading the west! Never would of imagined that in my lifetime.
sooo houston streak ends tommorow???? I have a strong feeling it will
lol denver, im hoping they dont make the playoffs, gotta root for the most entertaining team in the game, golden state. Monta ellis & baron davis are both amazing. Then all the 3 point shooters they have to add in a rush of points, just so fun to watch, so full of energy.

Man some of yall are haters. After each rocket win, you think the next team is going to win.
Boston is on the road against the rockets at home in the midst of a 22 game winning streak. They crowd is going to be a factor since they have sold out all their games recently. Boston plays back to back games on the road,while the rockets get a chance to recover. Tmac is going to bounce back since he played all 48 minutes 2 games ago. Shane Battier > Paul Pierce, Alston > Rondo, KG > Scola, Deke > their scrub center, and TMAC > whoever they got left. Houston bench > Celtics bench. But Carl Landry being out could shift that though. I dunno if he's out though. Celtics bench is pretty deep.

Sorry to burst your bubble(just a 'lil) but Shane Battier is not better than Paul Pierce. Sure, he can slow Pierce down or even stop him, which is what I think you meant, but Paul Pierce is better than Shane Battier, hands down. Also I dunno if the Rockets' bench is better than the Celtics', although they're playing well right now, the Celtics' bench has many proven veterans that have played on championship teams, while most of the Rockets' bench are still young players. I'm still rooting for the Rockets to go 16-0 in their last 16 games and break the 70-71 Lakers' 33 game winning streak.
pierce > battier
pierce has been playing GREAT defense this year. He's really commiting to defense before offense now, and although his offense his down, i will say this is his 2nd best year he's had in his career, behind that year 2 years ago where he averaged 26/game or something, although the celts didnt make the playoffs. Pierce's offesensive game is only matched by a couple players in the whole NBA, and i really do believe that pierce is even with KG at the most valuable celtic player.
you didnt match the players up correctly at all
rondo = alston (both been playing great lately, on both sides of court)
Pierce = Tmac (both can take over the game)
Mutombo = Perk (both do about the same when they play)
KG > Landry (easy)
Ray = Battier (and thats being nice to battier)
im not disrespecting the rockets at all, i think they're a great team and wish them the best of luck, but tonight they'll have their hands full.
ps: i am NOT saying the celts win for sure or anything like that, i think its a very even team wise, as you can see with my 4 equals above, and im looking foward to watching this. I do have a "hunch" the celts will win though =)

How depressing.
Oh well it was fun while it lasted.
Time to go on a 15 game winning streak.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Rockets lost by 20! And I didn't even get to watch the whole game! DAMN! I hoped that they'd at least hit 25. Oh well, there's still time for a 15 game winning streak, like MOP said. What's up with the Nuggets? Inconsistency anyone? 52 point blowout one game, 16 point loss the next? Somebody's gotta take charge on that team and stop the 'your turn, my turn' thing with AI and 'Melo
