    Carl Landry.. we have struggled when he hasnt been 100 % but now that he is starting to get his explosiveness back. He is like our "spark plug off the bench"

    don't forget about the x-factor known as The_Yoyo.

    He is 16-0 when seeing the Rockets live. Unfortunately, he lives in LA. He flew in for the playoffs last year, but couldn't stay long enough to attend the 7th game.

    He promises never to miss a 7th game again.

    lol im 5-0 this season, for the elite teams i saw us beat the spurs, lakers(22 game win streak), hornets(i think 18 game win streak)...

    but really... ITS OUR HEART and CONFIDENCE. Thats whats gonna get us far... i dont give a rats ass if Jamal Mashburn said on Nba fast break that it dosent get you very far.. Cause apparently it did on our win streak! if we can win 22 games in a row than we can get out of the first round!

    It's the playoffs. Everybody's got to show up with their best game.

    this one is easy, rmbr how much we dominated when landry was 100%? if he has those 17 pt 11rb games and scola has a decent game we will be ok. Landry is the x factor

    I think it's gonna be one of the rookies for sure. Not sure which one though.

    If novak doesn't get playing time in the playoffs I'll shoot myself.

    Brooksball is the X-factor. We are 22-0, when he starts a thread about Rockets being a lottery team. If he starts another one, who knows what will happen. :D

    The more I think about it, it's Scola. He is the only Rocket who has won a championship. He knows what it takes.

    Skip To My Lou going Psycho.

    or

    Chuck Wagon gets Magic Hands

    or

    Scolandry merge into one body

    or

    God's intervention

    Only four ways, it only takes one.

    Sounds like some new interpretation of the Wizard of Oz....

    I shouldn't have said that now there's gonna be a litany of references to McGrady's courage. :rolleyes:

    The real X-factor is Charles Barkley. If he says we are going to win WE WILL LOSE! If he says we are going to lose WE ARE GOING TO WIN!

    in that case we can depend on the Chuckster. no way he picks us winning a single playoff game, much less series.
