What are the chances we can get a streak like this going again?

Scola all that remains

 

I'm OK with 5W, 1L, 5W, 1L...

 

Nice jinx. It hasn't even ended yet.

 

highly unlikely considering how difficult it is to win that many games in a row, especially in a compressed schedule like this where playing back to back to backs or 4 games in 5 nights are factored in there will be games where tired legs will just kill the team more so than anything else. Also we had Yao for the first part of the streak playing well and McGrady playing some of the best ball of his career at the same time, right now we do not have any player of that caliber on this team nor do we have the same sort of defensive identity that team had.

I wouldnt get my hopes up and expect a long streak like that, heck even a 10 game streak is impressive by any standard. Just be happy with the 7 game streak the team is on now and not try to say "lets go for 22,23" especially when the team has faced some, quite frankly poor competition during this recent streak (thats not to take anything away from them of course - the schedule is the schedule) enjoy seeing the team try to find its identity and players hopefully continuing to develop.

 

Can't win with Tmac

the man single handedly led us to that feat






















jk I'm just trolling Tinman

 

Dang ... I totally forgot that Luther Head was on that team.

 

I think we can handle the next four. All home games, only one back to back and the Knicks are the 2nd game. I don't see us beating the Spurs in San Antonio. If we somehow pull that one out, I *really* don't think we beat the Nuggets in Denver.

 

nvm, i found my answer

 

I want to cry

 

I still remember Steve Novak's gamewinning three pointer that kept the streak alive... Good times...

 

a lot of credit to tmac and the team.
that was a great time to watch the rockets. a lot of heart and talent.

 

Team failed in playoffs 22 is a nice caveat, but I want championships.

I was in my car using wifi from my closed office.

I think half the streak should suffice, the next 4 will be the most difficult. easy, winnable, home games= trap games.

Washington and NY have something to prove, and the wolves want revenge.

 

Couldn't agree more. I'm going to be the one to anti jinx us and say we lose tonight

 

People forget what made us great was chemistry, defense and Rafer playing out of his mind. We all had a lights out shooter off the bench in Head and Landry was still unknown.

Tracy only played hard for a few games during that streak, he's not the reason. Deke's presence is the most important of all imo.

Right now we have Dalembert who is like Deke, Martin kind of like Tracy, Lowry playing out of his mind as well so I can see some similarities. However chemistry and Patterson + Lee consistent play will be crucial if we want to have a nice streak of 15+

 

Nice timing, jerkoff.

 

Not even close ... T-Mac made his teammates better, Martin stays behind the arc and shoots the three.

 

at least championship contention. i can deal with being one of the teams in the discussion. been way too long.
