    As I remember, the longest streak the Rockets have had since last season is 5 in a row at most. When you look at the teams ahead of us, they all have longer winning record from time to time. IMO, this team is too easy to get themselves satisfied. Tomorrow's game is a real test on whether this team is a real contender or not, even though Atlanta is relatively a weak eastern conference team.

    Right now, they have got all the necessary pieces. However, how far they can go mainly depends on their hearts and anxiety to win any given game.

    Go Rockets!

    A. What does something we did four years ago have to do with anything now?

    B. No we didn't.

    I think you should ask the Trail blazers about winning streaks.

    Should ask Dallas of last year. They had 10+ winning streaks 3 times last season, but... you know the result.

    Its 100%, but I think we did have a really good win streak-even better than this one-3-4 years ago. Think it was the same year where we went up against Dallas in the playoffs. Remember? Can anyone confirm or check up on this?

    Eight game streak was the best that team did but you could have looked that up yourself.

    You probably forgot to read some the original post. It said: we haven't wong more than 5 in a row since last season.

    I hope the Rockets get the winning streak to double digits, it's something that the Yao-McGrady Rockets have never done, at least not that I remember.

    I don't buy it. What's the difference between having two five game winning streaks separated by a loss and a ten game winning streak followed by a loss? (Assuming that you lose to the same team in both cases.) In both cases, your team is 10-1.

    I think we contribute by posting here, its what give clutch the $$$$$ we are the target for all those ad in the board.

    I'm not good in English, but I can't fix a mistake when I make one, is pretty dumb not to have one for everybody.

    Rule #1(in life): Life is not fair!

    Rule #2: Any questions see rule#1 :D

    Sometimes you have to pay for things, to get things. Nobody rides for free.

    What that have to do with not having a Edit button?

    BTW
    Yahoo is Free
    Firefox is Free
    Google is Free
    Wikipedia is Free
    Etc.

    But how we pay?
    We already paying by using their services.

    I don't care about the edit, this is not my board, and this is not he only one I post. But that doesn't mean that is a non sense rule.

    It's called a donation and when you donate to the BBS to keep the free interchange of ideas and information. This is not an internet good or service that you pay a monthly fee for. Thus when you donate or you contribute you become a contributing member and you get more options to freelance your opinions and be more creative.

    Second of all, what are you talking about? Clutch does not make a dime unless people donate to the board. He has server fees, webmaster fees, computer internet fees and no doubt bandwidth fees. As of right now, you aren't paying for them and neither am I so why complain about not being able to edit or not? His board, his rules. That's the way it is!
