    Rockets are on a roll right now with 8 straight road victories and winning 13 of the last 17 games in '08.

    They have the longest winning streak in franchise history since the champions Hakeem and RudyT were still here.

    When will the road streak end?

    Holy Ga-Jeebies...if they keep that up, I won't have those humorous "Fire Adelman" threads to laugh at any longer.

    Jeez, the Rockets are struggling and they get the longest road win streak since 96. Unbelievable! But fire Adelman! Adelman sucks. Bring back JVG. :rolleyes:

    Hey Hater. Just leave. No one wants to hear your negative comments. We have won 13 of 17 for G-d sake.

    Some people are very hard to please. Why cant you just take pleasure in supporting a team who is finally winning some games.

    I repeat, LEAVE, cause no one wants you here.

    You make a compelling argument. I will do as you say and never come back. Sorry for ruining your board. :(

    The Rockets still aren't getting past the first round.

    I like durvasa.

    He's (she's?) funny and knows what he/she is talking about. All the hate for moneyball seems to have disappered (rightfully so) from this board. Now if people could just accept that Battier helps this team more than Rudy would've (or Thabo)...

    We've had the benefit of a soft schedule lately, and if they go into the playoffs playing like they are right now, I think you are correct. But.... I think they have a lot of room for very achievable improvement. Primarily on the offensive end. I can see us beating New Orleans or Utah in the first round without any unbelievable personal performances.

    Isn't that what we said about Utah last season? yes yes now we got our rookies to compete in the playoffs and yes we also have francis an mike james and bonzi to take us out of fist round this season. Will Adelman make the difference?

    If we make the playoffs will we get out of first round this season? to be seen...

    last yr it was straight up tmac and yao v. the entire jazz team, which was MUCH deeper than us.

    if we keep improving, tmac and yao + scola/landry alone can beat them. u gotta remember that game where ONLY 4 GUYS SCORED. that's unheard of.
