I wish we can, but will Mr. #11 be tired tomorrow?

It would be awesome if they keep the streak going... it's also must-see TV because it's Bobby Jackson's first game as a Rocket and of course Mike James and Bonzi Wells first as Hornets. I'll be very impressed if the streak hits 11.

I just hope if we lose a tight game that Armageddon doesn't break out on the board. New Orleans is a very good team and we're playing them in their building -- we can't be favored.

If they lose tomorrow I'm not going to look at the board until we win another game. That always seems to work for me. Too bad you have perform administrative duties, so you can't escape the mayhem!

If we win tomorrow, we can extend it to as long as we like . THe new look Dallas is a joke, Kidd is actually a PG that Rafer Alston has no problem handling.

Rybo will torch Rockets for 20 and posterize Yao. After posterizing Yao, Rybo will roar at Hayes on the Rockets bench & pound his chest.

However, the Rockets will get this win.

95-85

Rockets win!

Go Rockets!

hey, we still dont have an answer for David West. Lets just throw that guy with the 10 day contract at him for fouls.

We need to stop Chris Paul and West if we have any chance to win.

We know we have something special in the works if the winning streak is still intact when we play the Nuggies on the second. That would put us at 15 in a row tied for the all-time franchise high for winning streaks.

Rockets 99, Hornets 94. I am beginning to believe Adelman's system can be the difference for us this year! Man, our offense is starting to look good but, we gotta do it against the big guns for all this to make a difference otherwise, it's just like dust in the wind.

C'mon Rockets, make it happen!

Skip vs. CP3

Make no mistake....Rafer will get killed tomorrow. All Skip has to do is make some shots EARLY and then defer. Paul's not the best defender so we have to take advantage of that right away; when Deron Williams torched him the body language turned to crap. Don't let him roam on defense and make things tougher for Tmac and Yao. Paul does have quick hands, so Rafer really shouldn't get lazy with any passes. I just pray Rafer isn't cold.

On defense, there is just no answer for this man. He's made sport of every defender thrown at him. I have no doubt that fans here will get on Rafer's case anyway when Paul gets 20/10. It's lose/lose for Skip.

Peja and those damn screens

Will someone please chase this man on those screens to the right elbow? Peja is on fire. Even when the defender gets through those screens and is up in his grill, the shot just swishes. Battier had better "accidentally" poke him in the eye on one of those shots, just to keep this sucker in check. Peja is a softie, so Shane at least has to pretend to be tough. Intimidate, Shane. Intimidate.

Tmac, stop chucking!
NO's got good, athletic rebounders. If Tmac settles for those ugly-ass long jumpers, it'll feed CP3 and their fastbreak. Everything had better be going to the hoop tomorrow. For every 20 foot fadeaway Tmac misses, I'm going to kick a puppy. About ten dogs will die if he has his usual shot selection.

Be careful, you will regress back to rookie like me sooer or later.

Why are so many 'fans' here being so pessimistic? Take a look at the scorebox last time we play them. We lost a close game without Tmac and with Hayes starting. Scola and Landry were not the same as the Scola and Landry we have now. We are only 4 games behind them and after tomorrow, 3 games. The Rockets just need to be themselves and we can beat them.
