Back in '96 I created an "I Still Believe" card that I carried around throughout the Seattle series. That game 4 was a fight to the finish. I remember one of the News 2 Houston guys had a lucky vest, and of course Rudy T had his lucky tie... You guys have anything you carry or wear for good luck during Rockets games? Whatever it is, bring it out!!
I have this retro rockets hat. Start out wearing the hat normally. When we are down 10 or so, I say "Lets turn this thing around!", and I put the hat on backwards.
didn't some guy named yoyao or yoaza or something always go to winning games? (claimed like 18-0....) But then we lost the playoff game he went to. superstitions are DEAD.
I'm growing a playoff soul patch. I'd grow a beard, but because of the unlikely event that I would have to wear a respirator, beards are banned at my job. So soul patch it is. (I started it last year, and thought it looked stupid so I shaved it right after Game 6. I won't make that mistake this year.
I decided not to shave after we beat the Clippers in our last game. I was told the Rockets are playing "ugly", much like my beard was "ugly". So now I'm shaving and apparently this will be a new "clean cut" Rockets team. I'm calling Rockets in 7.
it was The_Yoyo, technically he was there for game 1 but came late at halftime because his flight was delayed. so that didn't count, it officially ended with game 2
We'll be fine. I got a haircut. My last one was at about win #17 of the streak... Last before that one was before the streak began...
Last year, I watched all three painful road losses again the Jazz in person in SLC. This year, I ain't watching any of them in person. I'll watch them on TV. Give me them wins, Rockets!
