The Hawks gave the Rockets all they handle before pulling it out. 21 anyone?

McGrady predicted the win against Atlanta. Since the Hawks have had their number recently, delivering on this prediction will help the team build confidence against the looming stronger teams........Lakers Record anyone ?

Your consistent POV is impressive, or the win streak?

I'm tired of getting beat up for the luck comment by you and Ladies Coach. There is an element of luck, good fortune, divine providence, karma, what-have-you, and obviously the undermanned Rockets would not be pulling off a streak this impressive without that intangible element being in their favor. Good teams once in a generation pull of a streak like this. Not Cookie Monster and T-Choke.

Leave it to the statman to argue for averages.

21 in a row is nothing to sneeze at, however, the New England Patriots proved to us - it doesn`t matter how many reg season wins you get in a row, can you bring it all home???

Pistons proved that, too, a couple seasons ago.

21 in a row is a NBA media feel good story. Enough to move games around the schedule on ABC to see if they can bring in more of the curious and up the ratings. Kobe vs ~~Yaoless~~ T-Mac ... Battle for # 1 in the conference as both teams will enter the game with identical 45-20 records

Oh yeah, once again the Pistons have been relegated to the JV/consolation game with the Hornets who by the way are just a half game by the Rockets/Lakers at 44-20.

Still confidence is a good thing, Zoo.
We've all been waiting and knowing this could happen. T-mac getting his with a little help now.
Whatever happens it's going to be devastating.
