The majority of Houstonians couldn't name anyone on the team other than T-Mac and Yao before this but now you hear people talking about Luther Head, Battier, Alston, Hayes, Mutombo (funny how many people are surprised to hear he plays for the Rockets) and our super rookies Landry and Scola.

Plus the fact that they are doing this without Yao is pretty incredible. The Rockets are selling out more games than they have in a while and the city is rallying.

So regardless of the near future for the Rockets, its a good time to be a Rockets fan.

I've been watching, but nothing to crow about, as they pretty much sucked sour frog ass since 1995. So yep, it's a great year to be a Rockets fan.

I love to see the Spurs and Jazz fans giving reasons why the streak is meaningless. Yeah, right, momentum and teamwork have nothing to do with winning games. The Rockets are hot as hell right now, and it's a new team vibe since Yao left, the players are gelling like Magellan and we have multiple threats on the court. You can't guard us when we have half a dozen guys good enough to put up double digit points every game. Go Rockets!! Woo-hoo!! Kick some Lakers ass this weekend!!!!
