RSS FeedSomeone Tell Houston They Haven’t Won Anything Yet
Posted by sonny on March 16, 2008
I honestly can’t believe what I just saw in Houston this afternoon. The Rockets just got done giving a beatdown on a Laker team without Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum and it was like Hakeem “The Dream” and Clyde won another championship! While I give them props on the victory and the 22 game win streak, I would like to question the ovation that was delivered inside the Compaq Center today.
First off, who gave the the go-ahead to drop streamers and confetti from the rafters? This was a regular season game, not game seven of the Western Conference Finals. Seriously people, this was unbelievable. Again, I would like to dish out some credit to the Rockets, but this streak doesn’t mean you should start turning your arena into a scene from Cirque De Soleil.
I am honestly puzzled. Did the Rockets watch what happened to the Patriots in the NFL Playoffs? Yes this winning streak is awesome, unreal for that matter. But until you bring home the hardware, keep your party gear inside the cupboard. Without Yao in the playoffs this Spring, I doubt the Rockets can get past the Lakers, Spurs, Suns and Mavs in a 7 game series.
Again, I’ll give Houston what it deserves, but don’t think this is going to be an easy road because you guys have won 22 in a row. The Western Conference gets its rep because it is so hard to play night in and night out against such elite teams. Enjoy the winning streak, Houston. But please, save the streamers for June.

You know what, everything regarding this streak is a reason to celebrate. Every Rockets fan should enjoy this. Not every team have been given a chance to experience this. This is very special considering the lineup they have right now. What they do while celebrating victories I don’t care, so long as they don’t hurt any one? One exception is other people just get hurt when their team losses, I just hope you are not one of them.

I’m not biased by any means. I think what they’re doing is incredible. It’s insane. My problem was just with the streamers! Save that for the finals!

I’m not familiar with how they do things after home game victories. But this one did have some special meaning, with it giving them 2nd place for most consecutive wins.
A bit overboard? Slightly. But when they’re on a run like this, you can’t blame them.
