    It will end against Minnesota. It will only be a 6 game win streak.

    I'll be very happy with a six game winning streak.

    However, my prediction, I believe that the streak will reach 11 (end in Minnnesota on February 4th) IF Hardaway doesn't play on Sunday.

    ------------------
    Is it any coincidence that we are the only team mentioned in the national anthem?

    I didn't think so!

    I'm afraid that, after the big win against Portland, the Rockets will come out flat and get clobbered by Denver. If we can beat Denver, then we're something. If we can't, the win against Portland was a fluke.

    WE match up well against Denver. That's a win. I think we can get back to .500 before this streak ends. It will go at least 14 games and we'll be right back in the hunt. It's all good now. We've seen the light.

    Houston 96
    Denver 91

    What are you talking about?

    We're going 44-0 from here on out! [​IMG]

    Lottery? I don't think so.

    the 44-0 seems good to me. But wait, a sweep of the playoffs is also in order. Add 15 more games to that streak.

    Remember what they were saying at the beginning of the season? "We're gonna win 80 games this year!"

    Good point MC Mark But I am betting on the streak ending with David Stern handing Rudy T the Trophy.

    I believe we will go undefeated the rest of the season.Once a team is able to beat a very rich and talented team like Portland, theres no stopping them from winning the pennant..

    talking as a NBA fan, you guys sure sound crazy. a 4 game winning streak and now you think itll go to 14? the lakers got like 16 or whatever and you think you can come close to that? geez. good luck and let the nugget bashing begin (on and off the court).

    ok folks..i know it's nice to dream..but lets be realistic, i also believe that the Portland game is the turning point...but 14 wins straight...when was the last time that happened? with any Rockets team (even the ring teams)...i hope and pray that they will make it to the playoffs..maybe even...(dare I dream) the Finals. but no matter what happens,I will still be watching and screaming and jumping up and down during EVERY game.....like a true fan should.

    GO ROCKS!!!!!!! [​IMG]

    I believe the first Barkley season the Rox started 22-1.

    Didn't they?

    Not that I believe that that will happen again, but who cares.

    Actually, the first Barkley team was 21-2, not that it matters. However, I think the '94 team reeled off 7 straight, after their 1st loss, to lift them to 22-1.

    Corrteco Cabbage person. The tread asked what happens after the streak ends. That's simple. We start a new one !

    Streak's at 5, were going for the record held by the lakers; that I think is 32. Only 28 more to match. 29 to take the record.

    Rocks Rule!!!!!

    Our team has improved dramatically, but not enough to mount a long winning streak. Nevertheless, I see our stock rising:

    My prediction for next 5 games:
    Miami: Loss
    Minnesota: Win
    Golden State: Win
    Denver: Win
    Lakers: Loss
