    Just browsing the USA Todays NBA Playoff special section.

    The prediction page has the Rockets beating the Mavs in 6.

    Then eliminating Phoenix in the second round (deja vu).

    Then losing to Spurs in the WC Finals. What? Weve never lost a series to the Spurs, and were not about to start this year.

    Did you just contradict yourself? If they're better, then the Rockets cannot beat them. Is that right? Don't get upset with me... I just want to know why you praise them, then say "we are going to get them"... that's like saying: Black is a GREAT COLOR, but I like WHITE. Oh, never mind. :(

    GO ROCKETS!

    the media likes to promote the game... a team like Houston doing well is good for business... just like Lebron James is promoted to the nTH level.... its because as much as the NBA wants to promote basketball so does the media personalities who are involved in the game.... a Shaq - Yao final would be media dream come true.

    Didn't the USA Today predict a Houston vs. Miami Finals in 1997?

    Yeah, that worked out well for both sides.

    it could have happened if the refs knew what a moving screen was, hell if they knew bear hugs weren't allowed on the court of play.

    HaHa along with some analyst on Espn man oh man those were the days when we had so much hope with that team its been a while since we could dream realistically, but ya I do remember that prediction and man did that turn out to be wrong. Too bad Drex got bearhugged "Hey tell Charles Barkley that Stockton's open" Rockets Heat finals rockets in 6 hey we can dream right on our home court.
