Hey Hey... How about them Rockets... Tell me is it just me but has anybody noticed that the Houston Rockets play better when they are riddled with injuries. Last Season and this Season alike. When one of the key note players is down, they go on a miraculous streak... for example Yao is injured this year they are what now on a 17 game win streak.

Last year McGrady was down and they did exceptional without him, and then when he came back Yao went down. Hopefully they figure away to play that well while both are healthy... Its going to be an interesting playoff run for them again this year. Lets go Rockets!!

come on you had to bring up the patriots, and dont forget the celtics did it earlier in the season, so its not unheard of but its hard to achieve

How did we start talking about that part of the country? It seems whenever sports is brought up the Boston/New England area becomes the "Universal Example"... For instance, I say " Looking forward to going to some Yankee games this year.I think its a winning year." The reply instantly goes into a conversation about the Red Sox....

The Colts are going to win 2008-09 Season, Tom Brady and the patriots 1 game away from perfect year instantly the topic of choice. Well guess what, not this time. This thread is about Houston Rockets and their amazing bench, as was stated earlier in the thread. I do believe they have earned the shine for this moment in sports. My only real issue is that they don't choke like previous years.

yeah mang... the Rockets... Big McGrady and Yao fan. The Knicks oh boy we talking about potential winners... The Knicks haven't been potential winners in how long? To many years for me to even count... atleast they have Spike Lee.

The rockets still need to contend with other west teams you know, and i think without yao their offense production will decrease in the playoff run

rockets might being good but i got them losing in the playoffs early. I think the lakers are better back at full strength. Rockets would also be better with yau thou.

THE BULLS SHOULD HAVE DONE A LOT MORE TO WIN

the bulls should have done a lot more to win

Rockets are doing good they killed the bulls. The bulls suck and gave up a chance to Kevin Garnet.
