Yep, and when you let those feelings out before the game, you jinx the team. You better find a way to break the hex, Alirules. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cMEUqMLOCPk&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cMEUqMLOCPk&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
I am extremely confident on what I am feeling right now. I have to go with my gut and it tells me we are going to win tonight. I wasnt that confident on game 1 and 2 so I was hoping we were going to win. But tonight I just have this level of confidence that I can't explain. I am just so sure.
Trying to decide what's more motivational... "Never underestimate the heart of a champion!!" or "Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, we are free at last!!!" haha, don't ban me, I'm just joking!! Good thread, though... I've been feeling this too. In fact, I was hangning with my friends before the day before game 2 (all Rockets haters of course) and I said, "Here's a prediction that will shock the world. Rockets LOSE game 2, and then sweep in Utah (3 and 4 that is)." Make it happen Rockets. I would sound like a genius if I was lucky enough to get that one correct.
Utah will come out and play like they are down 0-2. With Rafer in there we could definitely steal two.
I remember when the Rox were down 0-2 to the Suns in 94. I was sure it was over. The friend I watched the game with said: "I am sure this series will go to 7 games". I thought he was crazy. So the same thing is happening this time. While they might win tonight, I do not see a way they can come back and win this series. Hopefully the Rockets can prove me wrong again.
There's the problem right there... a Rudy T. misquote, and misapplied at that. First, this team is not the sitting champion. Second, Rudy said, "Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion." Now that we have context, the jinx is off. Carry on.
Ok, I'll go on record as saying that Utah will join Phoenix as teams that had the Rockets dead and buried, but went to lunch before they shoveled in the last shovel full of dirt. Rox in 7!!!!
I really believe the rockets will win!...I hope....I believe Scola, brooks, and bobby jackson is gonna show up to play......
I beleive the Rockets will kick the crap out of Utah tonite in fact. . . I still beleive this series will go 7 games Rocket River
