Oh yeah! Has anybody been watching this astounding streak they've been on? They made it twenty in a row tonight by beating the Hawks! Finally, people are paying attention to someone else besides LeBron, Shaq and Kobe......

First team since 1971 to have this long of a streak!!! Absolutely amazing. They haven't lost since mid/late January... and they've done the last 8 or 9 without Yao. So exciting!

Re: Houston Rockets

yeah, i have been paying attention to that too.. i cant stand the nba anymore, but this is a good story though, especially as you say since it takes away from the bore that is koby, deisel and lebron..

i heard an interview with dikembe the other day on jim rome.. what a great person he is.. just sat by while Yao was tearing it up, not whining, being a true professional, and when it was time for him to be caleed upon, stepped up and now they are on a record breaking streak.. though it may be against some lower tier teams, 20 in a row is a hell of an accomplishment without your franchise player.

may be T-Mac should take notice yeah? lol

but besides the basketball, what mutombo is doing for his home country building and maintaining a multi million dollar hospital.. THAT is what to me is more impressive than any win streak.

just too bad players/people like him now a days are very few and far between

Re: Houston Rockets

it seems that the further they move away from the van gundy style the better they play on both ends of the floor. more zone defense, notably there 2-3 college style. running more, and shooting a lot better percetage wise.

Re: Houston Rockets

dikembe is such a stand up guy, in and out. steve, you're right. he's done so much for his country and never asks for anything in return. and i still love his finger wave when he blocks a shot. :D i'm glad he's stuck with the rockets and i think him being a back up for yao is awesome since he's pretty old now and probably wouldn't last all season.

i suppose the team is finally adaprting to their new coach's style. i was worried in the beginning. they looked sluggish and confused. i've heard adelman tends to let his team be kind of free, which takes a huge change from van gundy. they're finally clicking!

Re: Houston Rockets

:D

we'll see how your lakers match up against the spurs in the playoffs (more than likely going to happen). it appears as though the rockets won't get out of the first round again. typical.

Re: Houston Rockets

Hey. That will be a great series, indeed! If they can beat them, they'll take it all the way. Fuck the east! :RockOn:
