    Keep talking, Jerome. Battier, Brooks and everyone else showed up once again.

    They are not the Crutch City Rockets.

    These are the Crotch City Rockets. Like Sam Cassel, they walk around with big sets.

    The Chronicle bloggers really do suck. Lance Z. wrote a blog right before McGrady went down about how the Rockets should get rid of Adelman. These guys can just write whatever the hell they want with no accountability it seems. They never own up to anything when they have egg all over their face.

    Everyone know Solomon is an idiot and he only writes things are controversial because that's the only way people will pay attention to his articles.

    I loved this comment in response to that piece of crap article:

    "You don't know any more than the rest of us. No one knows who will show up at tonight's game on either team. A little electricity and that the monster called Rockets will come alive. That 40 points Tuesday night may be the Lakers sleeping pill. Who knows? All we can do is put on the battle red and into the breach we go. Give them hell Rockets."

    You would almost thing he's writing for the Lakers...

    He could be just another dissapointed fan that gives up too soon, but I'd like to see some more objectivity and hope from a writer from our town!

    Go Rockets! Let's take game 7!!!

    Its to the point where I am all for local papers to go bye bye. Sorry guys. No ones opinion is that important to warrant a section in a paper. I am fine with a bunch of bloggers, Ill find the ones that have brains myself.

    Everyone remember Rudy saying, "Never underestimate the heart of a champion!"

    Nobody seems to remember he also yelled into a microphone, "The Rockets have b*lls!"

    I want the Chron to keep on burying us. The Choke City headline led to Clutchcity. the Astros Tombstone led to our first WS appearence.

    Go ahead Chron keep on burying the Houston teams.

    Agreed. The Chronicle has a long and proud history if wrongly and foolishly declaring sports teams dead. Why stop them now?

    It was a jinx ploy. Worked beautifully I thought.

    The King Took One for the Team (Solomon's blog)

    He could be lying out of his ass to cover this one up (because it was pretty easy to say the Lakers would finish us last night), but usually Solomon isn't a pessimist, so I thought it was a little strange he wrote that yesterday.
