If Houston can beat New Orleans Saturday, they can easily cruise to 21 straight. Should be interesting.

Reggie: Novak hit that game-winner before the all-star break...

Me: Hey, that was against the Kings!

Reggie: ...I think it was against the Denver Nuggets.

Me: :banghead: I hate having my team irrelevent.

We are so lucky Novak made that shot , he could have made such a huge difference to go into the all star break with a loss or to continue the winning streak.

That could've snapped our streak too of course.

Now we are on fire

We did have trouble with them in their first season, when they swept us...

...HOWEVER we are at home and we have been using big first-half performances to blow teams out.

I loved it dude. Him and Kenny always have something negative to say about the Rockets. Happy McGrady stepped up. Charles doesn't watch games...just the Suns and the ones on Thursday...yet he feels he is right when he talks about the Rockets and other teams.

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

You made the right choice sir. You won't be disappointed, and for anybody that say T-Mac will choke in the 1st. You're wrong, he won't this year! Why? because we got aldemen, instead of jeff van dumbass, and we have some good players besides just T-MAC.

Btw, thanks Spurs for giving us Scola, I'm sure it'll come back to haunt you this post-season.

Provided Houston makes the playoffs and avoids the Lakers or Spurs (and to a lesser extent the Jazz) in the first-round, T-Mac is playing at a high enough level to *maybe* get over the hump

I'm with you on that. Houston's chemistry has been amazing since January. Great adjustment of the system and rotation by Rick.

Honestly...we can probably beat Utah as well. More so this year b/c we can match up with Boozer. Last year when Yao was on him he killed Yao all series. We match up better with Utah this year. The guy on their team that scares me is Korver b/c of his quick release.

We got Scola for Korver. They can just stare at each other the entire game. Hopefully, Luis can cancel him out.
