    During the first 2 games of this series I did not shave my face and we won both games. However, before game 3 I couldn't bare the temptation of shaving so I did, and unfortunately we lost both game 3 and 4. So now I'm not going to shave UNTIL SERIES IS OVER!

    Do you guys believe in superstititons...if so what do you do when the Rockets play?

    Game 2 when we were down 8 in the 4th I got out my TMac Celibriducks and put them on top of the TV... Tmac went off.

    Back in 94 when we were trailing Phoenix, Sprite had a bottle cap promotion. I bought a Sprite and said if I win a free 20oz Sprite then the Rockets would come back and win. I won and Clutchcity was born. I still have that bottle cap.

    Just about every other part of my life I could care less about superstitions, with the Rockets I am extremely superstitious.

    GO ROCKETS!!!

    I always have them during the playoffs. I'm not an overly superstitious person except when it comes to the Rockets.

    Games 1 & 2 I watched on TNT, mainly because I don't care much for Bullard's color commentary. Game 3 I watched the first half on TNT, then switched to FSN. Game 4 I watched all on FSN.

    This is still a developing superstition I guess, but you can guess which station I'll be watching tonight. I know and tell myself that I have no impact on the game but I still have them nonetheless.

    I make sure that my dad doesnt watch the game on my big screen TV because he is bad luck :D

    He is out of town today so the Rockets should win easily.

    Don't worry guys, i know a few voodoo tricks. I'll do whatever it takes for us to win tonite and Thursday.

    -Terry's going to have a very bad game tonite...
    -Yao will have a monster game like he had on game 2
    -The ref. will take an easy on Yao tonite

    WE WILL WIN TONITE

    WE WILL WIN TONITE

    for games 1 and 2, i wore my tmac jersey all day around campus, and i had my beer out of a mug instead of those little plastic cups the TC charges an arm and a leg for.

    the jersey is on, the mug is being chilled, and now it's time to head off to campus...

    In games 1 and 2 I had friends over to watch and we won. Game 3 I watched alone and game 4 i watched at a friends house. I'm bringing the troops back to my place tonight.

    In 95, me and friends burned player cards of Utah players before Game 5, we won. We burned Phoenix player cards before Game 7, we won. We only did it in the deciding games.

    So, Im wondering if I should go buy some b-ball cards and burn Maverick Player cards? or should i wait?

    Hmmmmmmmmmm..........

    I've decided to stop being superstitous about the Rockets.
    I put too much of myself rooting for the Rockets to believe that it actually affects their play on the court. I know that if I keep on being a true fan of theirs I won't be disappointed. I was a fan for 11 years before they won their first title and I know it will happen again.

    i'm 0-3 and i've decided not to go to the games anymore.

    before game 3 and 4, the last (only) playoff game i went to was the first of two where we became Choke City to the Suns. so yeah...here's to me watching playoff games where we blow leads in the 4th.

    i apologize. i will not attend any more. :(

    If I drink a Bodington's pub ale at the beginning of the game, then we're going to win. If I drink anything else, we lose.

    At least, that's how it's been this series...

    I'm only superstitious when it comes to the Rox as well...

    They don't seem to bring it as much when they wear those white home uniforms-- can they just wear those crimson and gold throwbacks as the home uniform...
