    Hey guys, every other team that has been in the top ten historic runs have also won the NBA FINALS for that year. Think about it. History says we're going to win the Finals.

    But even if we don't make it, I won't be disappointed. The Rockets still have next year.

    No, with Yao healthy and 1 or 2 new pieces, I expect a 30 win streak next year...

    ... will lead to more Talking Head listeners and eventually another jamming remake of 'This Must Be The Place' to the delight of the Toyota Center crowd as a local band plays it after the victory in Game P (Game 7 of the Finals against Cleveland).

    note: while the power of the leprachaun is formidable, the power of 22 can create self-cleaning nanobots capable of finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow where a Larry O'Brian trophy awaits the Rockets.

    Bill: 22 wins is quite impressive, Clyde.
    Clyde: Yes it is, Bill. 22 wins in a row is what it's all about. Winning games in fundamental to winning.

    The power of the Leprachaun cannot overcome the power of the Piston in a seven game series book it.

    ...is a higher caliber than most give it credit. In fact, with a hollow point bullet it can blow an exit hole out of a target the size of a .38 or a "half-9mm" .380. It's range alone is something often misperceived as short because of the "small" caliber, but it can travel upwards of 1 to 1 1/2 miles easily.

    ...is not to be taken lightly.






    Nice thread idea! ;)

    Only that it correlates to an extreme amount of confidence this team will have going into to that series.

    The current team won 12 in a row... The other team won 10 with Yao in the lineup... Tale of two streaks that coincided.

    At this point, just have to tough it out and get the W in the 1st round, and then go from there. Scola and Landry and BJackson need to come up big. Novak needs to hit. AB needs to come of age and penetrate. Rafer needs to bring his A game. TMac needs to let the series come to him, not force the issue. Shane needs to hit those open shots. Deke needs to play more. Harris needs to produce. Head needs to just take open shots, not try to create. Hayes needs to hustle. RAdelman needs to coach his behind off.

    Indeed, some find it sublime to have a deuce deuce in the trunk of their car.

    ... requires all of us present at the Toyota Center to give the Rockets a 1 minute standing ovation to the chant of 'thank you for 22' during the first minute of the game.

    It is?... That's even worse!... I couldn't sworn we won 10 with Yao and 12 without him, making it quite an achievement in that Yao was out for over half the wins.
