I am impressed by A.E.NeumanWorryWart's predictions. He is right on the money so far. If only we can get past Dallas and Vancouver with wins, he will be THE MAN! Clutch will have to hire him to be the site's new Rockets forecaster. We shall call him "Mini-Clutch"...haha. Surfguy
"Mini Clutch", oh shucks For the record, I would have rather had the Rockets win them all and not be this correct I originally stated with my predictions that the upcoming Dallas game would turn into a must win game. I am not all that confident that the Rocks can actually beat the Mavs now What has the world come to! [This message has been edited by No Worries (edited November 22, 1999).]
Look on the bright side, No Worries. If we win them, you'll be happy because we won. If we lose, you'll be happy because you were right. No lose situation. ------------------ "Museum officials outside of Houston have reported an ancient artifact identified as "Rudy's Postup Plays - 1994" stolen, as of November 2, 1999...officials urge residents to contact...
My predictions are not winning... I say we fire Rudy, crucify Bryce Drew, ask Calvin Murphy to come out of retirement, trade Mobley for Isiah Rider, a 12th round pick, and Michael Finley (yes, they're on 2 different teams and we're only giving up one player, but if these goons can figure out the salary cap, they can figure that out, too... what? whaddya mean no 12th round? Ok... then 6 2nd round picks! pfft!). What does everyone else think? ------------------ Rocket fuel pumps through these veins...

Trade Barkley, spare the feelings, and get what we deserve: a better team player. Fire Rudy, and hire either Calvin Murphy, John Thompson (if he changes his retirement soon), or make Clyde Drexler coach. Clyde wouldn't turn it down, I'm positive. Who to get for Barkley? Not sure. Any good power forwards worthy of the defense and simple rebounding with garbage detail expertise? Is Barkley trade worthy for a good player I hope for?
Well now that the Rockets are well on our way to destroying my family life as I know it, and making me do illegal things with ... well that's another story ... here's the update. <center>Sunday Am Predictions for November</center> <PRE> <FONT SIZE="2" FACE="Courier,Courier"> -------- IND DAL SAC SEA SAC DAL POR VAN SailorMan................... 6-9 W W W L L L L W CabbageHead................. 4-11 L W L L L L L W EuroChocoletRockolet........ 7-8 W W L W L W L W AeroFrancisco............... 5-10 L L W L L W L W Leonard the Cohen........... 7-8 W W L W L W L W RocketeerOuttaHeer.......... 6-9 L W W L L W L W HatchetMan.................. 4-11 L W L L L W L L Shake-A-Lake-A-Lam-Dam-Doo.. 5-10 L L L W L W L W GreekJammer................. 10-5 W W W W W W W W Tired Dwarf................. 4-11 L W L L L W L L BrainyScienceNerd........... 7-8 W W W L L W L W Barkley'sBro................ 8-7 L W W L W W W W Surgeon d'Basquette......... 6-9 W W L L L W L W IggyPopAlleyOop............. 7-8 W W W L L W W L RockHardAss................. 6-9 W L L W L L W W BoHunkMoDink................ 8-7 W W W L L W W W A.E.NeumanWorryWart......... 4-11 L L L L L W L W BigBKBurgerKing............. 10-5 W W W W W W W W Detective................... 5-10 * W W L L L W L ShotCaller.................. 7-8 * W W W L W L W ------------ </FONT> </PRE> <center> As of 11-22-99 ...... 2-10 </center> Looks like Cabbage, Sleepy, NoWorries and Axeman are the odds on favorites to make the all "Bugsy-Segal-LasVegas-SportsBook" team. Now if they win only one more, not three,just one. LOL Thanks to AirFrancis for his input.
Sorry. Clyde would turn it down. According to him, he needs about two more seasons (Houston Coug-s) under his belt, then he will consider a pro job if one comes along that "makes me feel right about everything". Asked about the Rocket job: ";.... depends on the circumstances in two years."
Who would even want barkley. Unless they think that they need him and they think they could win it this year.
Call me an optimist, but I am expecting a break-out game soon, in the next 3 or 4. I predict we win one by about 22 (nice round number)... because our boys maintain will their intensity for 4 quarters (and don't think so much about their shots going down the stretch...they just shoot the d*mn ball like they've done since they were wee lads). After that, we'll still have some down games, but should start winning our share.
