But before you bash here are a few points that help in my aurgument...

72' Lakers 33 game win streak = championship

71' bucks 20 game win streak = championship

2000 lakers 19 game win streak = championship

82 celtics 18 game win streak = no championship

95 bulls 18 game win streak = championship

69 knicks 18 game win streak = championship


Rockets are the 1st team in NBA history to win 9 games by double digits

I'm seeing Rox -11x right. I'm pretty tempted to bet on them to get another DD win...

especially vs a NJN team on the last game of a 6 game roadie.

I've already cashed in twice on Rox last week. Gonna keep comin back til they don't cover.

Mavs had several DD game win streaks last year, I believe one of them was 21 in a row.

Sorry but no Yao will hurt Houston in the long run

As soon as this winning streak ends they are going to fall apart just like Portland did when there streak ended.

Once they lose a game, its going to tailspin like you have never seen.

Rockets have about a 1% chance of winning the championship this year.

Now if Yao was healthy I'd say about a 20% chance.

I heard on a local station that one of the programmers has a program that he runs that simulates the remained of the season 500 times...and is done daily after the games are completed with that games stats...for every team.

Some very interesting %'s.

Houston has a 60% greater chance to win the west than the Spurs.

Lakers have a 27% chance to win the NBA championship...although it did predict that LA and BOS would meet in the finals with Boston the champion at a 42% chance to win the NBA title.

Ill see if I can get an audio or text of that....

Say whatever you want and I'm prepared for the bashing....but you have to admit that this Houston is not the same as last year....no one and done....jmo

i'm a big Rockets fan but don't live in Houston...Rockets fans in Houston aren't really thinking this are they?

Max, after our first round exit everyone is going to bump all these Rocket threads up. if they get past the first round ill be more than happy to eat crow

Dallas didn't win 21 games in a row last year or any year...so they couldn't have won 21 by DD....lol

yao holds them back in my opinion. sounds weird, but from what ive seen they play better without him. t-mac is actually the guy you wouldnt want to lose out of the two.

I predict an early exit from the rockets due to the fatigue factor without Yao and tracy mcgrady sucking so bad in the playoffs.
