Eddy Syet Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) Wag nyo naman sabihin na mas magandang wala si Yao sa Rockets. Remember that he was part of their first 12 or 11-game winning streak. Hindi naman nag-start yang streak na yan nung ma-injure si Yao Ming eh. It is fun to watch a team like the Rockets string consecutive wins like that but mark my word, they will miss Yao in the playoffs. I'll be cheerin' them on to get that 20th consecutive win! :thumbsupsmiley: Edited March 11, 2008 by Legionnaire Quote Link to comment
Eddy Syet Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) Need proof? Here's a wrap-up pf their 19-game winning run: These are the games they won WITHOUT Yao Ming in the line-up: Mar 10 W vs NJ 91-73Mar 08 W vs NO 106-96Mar 06 W vs DAL 113-98Mar 05 W vs IND 117-99Mar 02 W vs DEN 103-89Feb 29 W vs MEM 116-95Feb 26 W vs WAS 94-69Feb 24 W vs CHI 110-97 these are games they won WITH Yao Ming in the line-up: Feb 22 W vs NO 100-80Feb 21 W vs MIA 112-100Feb 19 W vs CLE 93-85Feb 13 W vs SAC 89-87Feb 11 W vs POR 95-83Feb 09 W vs ATL 108-89Feb 07 W vs CLE 92-77Feb 04 W vs MIN 92-86Feb 02 W vs MIL 91-83Feb 01 W vs IND 106-103Jan 29 W vs GS 111-107 This is their last loss before the streak: Jan 27 L vs UTA 89-97 They have a 4-game winning run before that loss: Jan 25 W vs POR 89-79Jan 23 W vs SEA 109-107Jan 21 W vs SEA 96-89Han 19 W vs SA 83-81 Just imagine if they haven't lost that single game against the Jazz... the winning streak would have been 24 by now! :thumbsupsmiley: Yeah and my point is they won 11-straight with Yao and another 8-straight without their starting center. Wala lang. Edited March 11, 2008 by Legionnaire Quote Link to comment
benjied Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 19 straight wins.... WOW.. Double WOW... I believe their momentum (started with the help of Yao) and new found confidence in their play (specially the rookies and role players... ) is carrying them through the games... Hopefully it carries them through the rest of March.. Quote Link to comment
HansSolo Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 awesome run by the rockets... hope u win 21 straight... :thumbsupsmiley: although i still think its gonna be another early exit for t-mac... Quote Link to comment

Sa playoff magkakaalaman kung uubra itong up tempo run and gun shoot all day strategy Quote Link to comment
SPO1 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 they can win games in play offs if they play the same intensity on Defense. come play off time,its a game of adjustments and defense. Quote Link to comment
bikerider Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) That last loss against the jazz was without yao ming. (respiratory infection) Tomorrow rockets play atlanta on the road. best keep their focus for 20 straight wins. Edited March 12, 2008 by bikerider Quote Link to comment
jerzz Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 the worst thing that can happen is if they top the western conference and come playoff time T-Mac's back collapses. swerte ng 8th seed Quote Link to comment
SoulMTC Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 ang init talaga ng rockets.. pati thread na toh nahawa alive na alive na Quote Link to comment
silver41surfer Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 The reason behind this never ending streak of the Rockets team is the Trust and Confidence of each of the player. Everyone is doing their job exceptionally even the bench are contributing the goods. Looking at the score stats courtesy of Legionnaire, the average margin point against opponent in 9 games w/out yao is 16.5 compared 9.6 in 11 games with Yao. Players are very well motivated to win games in the absence of their big man. Kudos to coach Rick for making the team jell and he is the prime candidate for the Red Auerbach trophy (COY)! :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
