    We don't need the refs, we are just gonna play team ball. Most of time I think we're gonna win.

    Yep, already did it. We're 35-1 odds and I put up $120 to win $4200. I may be giving up $120 but my heart says we can do it.

    The vegas odds are 15-1, not 35-1. Where are you finding people who are willing to give you 35-1?

    Yeah. I think Tmac will just go crazy and be unstoppable in playoffs. I think he can do it. We're just saving him..to do it in the playoffs :)

    And Yao..same thing. He's just putting on a big act..in playoffs..he's gonna dominate with Tmac. :)

    I wish

    Sportsbook.com - I just checked again to see if the line changed and it's still at 35-1. You may be looking at winning the Conference Finals - odds on that are 15-1.

    San Antonio have not beat us on our home court, so I guess they are not a contender neither :rolleyes:

    LOL. That and when we won our 2nd championship we hadn't beaten SA on their homecourt at all, but beat them 3 times at SA in the postseason...

    Just ignore NewYorker LegendZ3, the dude is simply some a-hole buzz killer that likes to come around every so often and tell us why we shouldn't be happy about the Rockets. He usually goes away after a few days of being flamed, same ol', same ol'.

    I hate to see players injurred. TD was down minutes ago. A 90 degree bend on ankle, it is not good.

    This might give Rockets a break if they can get to conference final.

    An unassuming mind who gets too high during the 'highs' and too low during low times will not be able to fathom a logical explanation why I maintain the educated opinion that we ARE STILL contenders in the West - so I will not bother taking up thread space. I say this because right about now many folks will be doing their daily/weekly bandwaggon hopping because of the losing streak - there is no need for that.

    To put it blandly, winning in the NBA playoffs is a whole lot about defense and matchups (favorability) and we will hold our own comfortably when the time comes.

    My conviction on this matter will be vindicated (something Gucci8 knows nothing about ;) )

    I hate to see the team lost the last two games, but it's not that big of a deal, I hate those fans that gets so low afte a loss and started pointing fingers instead of doing the right thing - which is supporting the team while they're down.

    I'm still optimistic. The reason is the Rockets recent loss could all have been prevented, mostly they just need to do a attitude adjustment and come out with fire and play every game like their playoff hope depends on it. I think it's easy to be optimistic when your team has the talent to be a contender. It's sad when a team has no hope because they're just not talented enough and loyal fans still cheer for them. (like the New York Knick fans)

    Very excited by the possible Final match up tonight. Shaq vs. Yao. Wade vs. TMac.

    Another reason after Deke's tremendous game:

    Deke can still get it done and be defensive player of the year when we needed him.

    Deke has been the biggest contributor off the bench. Throw in Barry and a healthy Howard...it's an exciting team. Long time since we could have said that about the Rockets.
