From the Chronicle: "...The win was the Rockets' sixth in their past seven games and fourth consecutive at home, a season high. But the Celtics came in with back-to-back legs after losing in Utah on Monday and were worn out by a fog-induced travel delay that kept them from their hotel until 4:30 a.m. ..." Give me a break...have you seen the planes these guys fly on? They have plenty of leg room and recline to sleep if they choose to. A bus meets them on the tarmac and they are wisked to their hotel. When they play the night before they don't have to go to shootaround the next morning of a game. They can go to their posh hotel and sleep until 4 or 5 in the afternoon before the game if they want.

This isn't a boston paper making excuses for the team, this is a Houston paper. All because they have nice planes and nice hotels still can't prevent everyhing. If they don't practice then they don't get practice. (Duh) ------------------ Cuttino Mobley Online

I didn't say it was an excuse from the hometown paper of the Celtics. I've heard the same about the Rockets when they travel. Practice? Teams never practice before the 2nd game of back to backs. They just played the night before so why would they need practice...the shootarounds only last 1 hour anyway. Again, if they can sleep until late in the afternoon what's the big deal? It's not like they have a 9-5 job. Old School ------------------ I voted YES! [This message has been edited by Old School (edited February 21, 2001).]
Who cares. I'm predicting a Rockets win tomorrow. It's about damn time we beat the T-Puppies! Here comes the REAL streak baby! ------------------ "Clinton lied. A man might forget where he parks or where he lives, but he never forgets oral sex, no matter how bad it is." -- Barbara Bush
