That's the kind of talk that's gonna jinx us.

I got some cheapo tickets for the game tonite, I haven't attended a loss all season.

Ahh **** maybe I just jinxed us.

 

knock on wood sir...

 

knock on wood sir.....

 

96-78
ez win!!!

 

but that very same usatoday article says:
Tracy McGrady and the Rockets go for their 11th win in 12 games Monday when they host the Blazers, who hope Brandon Roy can return and help the team get back on track.

hope and expect are two different things.
only the blazers and roy himself truly know.

even with roy, portland is a terrible road team. (then again, we're still trying to prove we're not a terrible home team....wrap yr head around that one)

we have to keep our momentum by not getting lackidaisy

"PHILADELPHIA!!!"

 

At the Hawks game, the Rockets were able to score early in the first quarter by going to Scola. I think he had 4 poiints before Yao even touched the ball. I like the way that gets the opponent to thinking about someone other than Yao-opens up the interior for later.

Something to look for early tonight.

 

17 wins in a row

 

Aside from the game in New Orleans, the Rockets should win every game this month if they play well. Cleveland looked awful last night, so that's definitely a winnable game.

 

that might put us in the 7 spot.

 

We can't forget that. In fact, everyone who goes to a game from now on shoud make signs, bold sharpie on t-shirts, face-paint whatever, one simeple declaration: PHILADELPHIA!!!. Whenever our team goes through a dry spell, shows no passion/energy, or stops playing team ball, everyone in the crowd should start waving the signs and chanting "Philadelphia!"

It's just crazy enough to work.

 

Nobody in the NBA is good enough to blow anyone out by 60. Don't get me wrong, I hope it does happen tonight... but don't place your Vegas odds on it!

 

The two losses to Philadelphia may turn out to be:
* Game 1 - The low point of the season
* Game 2 - The beginning of the turn around

 

This game will really show where we're at on a daily basis. We blew out the Hawks, so I hope there's not a let down. The blazers are struggling, but they are in no way an easy win. Outlaw might destroy us.

just like the battle of the alamo. Please remind the rockets painful loss to the PHILADELPHIA.


REMEMBER THE PHILADELPHIA war cry!!!!

 

I see the Blazers as a better version of the Hawks: Young and athletic, but inexperienced.

They've come back down to earth, and have really struggled the last 2 games w/o Roy. Let's make it 3 in a row for them and 7 in a row for us!

Also, I like the battle cry too: PHILADELPHIA!!!

 

99-86 Rockets

Rockets are on a roll, and man, its gonna sting like crazy when they finally lose one. I may cry...

 

Rockets 103
Blazers 95

Lets keep this streak going!

 

It's time to see this team continue to become what we originally believed. Thanks to the rooks that is still a possibility ...

Rockets 104, Blazers 90.

Keep sharing the basketball, keep up the balanced scoring and we might not lose for a while ...

Also Remember the Alamo, Remember Philadelphia!
