Notes: Rockets going for 22nd consecutive win!

LETS GO GET NUMBER 22 HOUSTON!

Just to let you guys know, the streak will be over today.

nice thread dude!

i never predict the final score before the 4th quarter (or i never could be that stupid haha) but since i wont be able to watch the game so i'd do it the 1st time and i hope it's a good start.

Rockets win by 11, 109-98.
Rockets player of the game: Landry.

we need this game. Tmac needs this game most badly, but Adelman (again!) is going to work the pressure off him, so he will be coming up huge on scoring and assists. however, it's our omni-potent support cast (or should i say ensemble cast now!!!) decide how they game goes.

together we are a team, lakers are not, or maybe they are sometimes but just not as good. SIMPLE AS THAT!!!

GO ROCKETS!!! GO ROCKETS FANS LET'S CHEER UP!!!

Just to let you guys know, the streak will be over today.

you mean the Kobe-scoring-double-digits streak?

nice thread good luck

Mark my words... We are not going scape one more time without Landry. The one-two punch of Landry and Scola is one of the mayor reasons for the Rocket success and he is a key of the winning formula.

As much as I like the wins we have looked horrible the las couple of games without the spark Landry brings from the bench and his 4th quater heroics.

Hopefully M. Harrys can pull out another Landry today.

Don't worry, were going to get 22, we got it hanging from the rafters

MAYBE SOME OF YOU ARE NOT AWARE... NO LANDRY TODAY.

[q]The Lakers and Rockets both will be short two big men today. With Andrew Bynum already out, the Lakers lost Pau Gasol for at least the three remaining games of their road trip after he sprained his left ankle Friday at New Orleans. As for the Rockets, who face the rest of the season without Yao Ming, forward Carl Landry tested his sore right knee again Saturday but is not expected to return today.[/q]

I hope that Battier has a good shooting night because he is gonna play a lot of minutes.

Bobby Jackson owes us a big game today , I hope he delivers , he has been stinking it up lately.

I rather Battier plays his BEST defense and the rest of the team has good shooting

damn i forgot i was creating the thread for this game.

sorry guys

but at least i won't be at fault IF the streak ends

wtf is up wit Landry man???? is this a joke another game!!! is there more to this injury than we are being told...knee swelling? are we just being extremely safe preparing for the playoffs or is this guy really hurt?

why would they lie about an injury?

i think mike harris will have another big game

So what we just got to the top of the conference by doing what just showing up?

The Lakers are a team we struggled with even when they played like crap the last few seasons.

Now they are a high-level team.


Hmm. I really don't know what's going to happen.
