    I know nobody but me is a Rockets fan here, but yesterdays butt kicking of the Lakers for their 22nd win in a row was an amazing game. Fans keep doubting the Rockets, some tried to intimate that the Lakers missing Pau Gasol dimished the victory. They totally ingnore that the Rockets were missing Yao and Carl Landry. Plus TMAC didn't bother to show up till the 2nd half and we still put a double digit whupping on them.

    This team has truly become a team, they have chemistry, hustle, grit, determination. Every night some body steps up who isn't a super star.

    Now we're the #1 team in the West.

    Jifs Celtics are up next.

    I happened to be on the road yesterday when the game was on ESPN on XM radio. The victory was no fluke. Early in the 3rd quarter the Lakers poured it on and kept the pressure on, but the Rockets eventually prevailed. I'm not at all an avid NBA fan, but even the casual sports fan has to notice and follow this streak. This is a very tough week for them. It may not last......but then again it might.

    T.. I watched the entire game. Kobe was totally frustrated. The question now is..what will they do with the Chinaman when he returns next year? They sure dont want to mess with the chemistry! I honestly never heard of most of the players. :shock:

    RATS! It had to end sometime. Celtics were just too much for us last night. Clearly a game where we missed Yao.
