KielDaMan Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 great game again today. next week games against NJ, Atlanta & Charlotte keep focus and we could be 21 in a row. after which comes the biggest test - LA LAKERS. GO ROCKETS. Hands down to the Rockets! 18 straight and still going strong.. 21 straight is a BIG possibility - then the next two are the BIG tests: The Lakers and then the Celtics. If they get past those two great teams, I will be completely speechless.... Quote Link to comment
djrs Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 galing ni TMAC... 18 Straight! DAMN! Quote Link to comment
bluevodka Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 sana lang wag maubusan si TMac. its something to win 18-straight. congrats for now sa houston, im lookin ahead when they meet the Mamba and La-la boys Quote Link to comment
Eddy Syet Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) Possible Scenario: Yao's injury is fake... it was just an act concocted by the Houston front office to try to wake T-Mac up. The Rockets make a furious run for the playoffs and eventually gets home advantage for the first round. Then Houston announce Yao's recovery. Yao joins the line-up and then the Rockets move on to demolish their first round opponents. Sarap mangarap... Edited March 9, 2008 by Legionnaire Quote Link to comment
steyr Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 looks like T-mac is proving his critics wrong and deserve to be an all star anyway... Quote Link to comment
TidusJanus Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I watched the game today, and the guy who quoted me is a liar. haha well, kinda. It was close during the early part of the game but the rockets outplayed the Hornets later on. Yao's loss is looking like a boon. haha The Rockets are able to execute their offense faster without Yao. It'll go up to 19 straight. I dunno if they'll reach 20 though. Quote Link to comment
_eRon_ Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 damn! what a win by the rockets today two players played exceptional but only tmac had the support to win the game for the rockets, great solid games by rafer, scola & hayes..kudos to mutombo, he locked chandler down with superb defense..both teams showed great defense but the teammates of cp3 didn't show up to support their allstar pointguard..i really hope the rockets can finally realize their potential, 3rd na sila right now in the west, 42-20, 18 straight!! go rockets!!

HansSolo Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 i think they can go up to 21 games straight since its gonna be a favorable sched ahead but the streak ends at 21 i think bec theyll be facing the lakers after 21... Quote Link to comment

webslinger Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 i think d trade before yao injured help dis team. getting brooks, alston and head to play more minutes. nt like having wells and james around they share d playing time around them.... mutombo maybe nt as he was before bt his defence can be felt by his opponent...

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
