Rockets will square off against the lakers on sunday on national tv on ABC. Who is your pick? I go with Rockets. They are both my favorite teams though.

No contest. Lakers will win by 15-20.
The Rockets aren't even a good team. They've just been very lucky as of late. Thats it.

Oh ya! Lakers lost and Rockets won their 21s straight! Now theyre tied for the #1 spot in the WEST at 45-20. They will meet this sunday. All you guys just vote for the lakers so I can be the only one laughing =). O_o suprisingly the Hornets are 1/2 game behind rockets and lakers at the #3 seed, and Hornets beat the Lakers today.

Ya Kobe>Mcgrady but Rockets>Lakers
With Pau out, Lakers and Rockets is a lot more even.
Rockets may even win.

well, with Gasol's sprained ankle, they do match up a lot better. I don't expect to see much of the finger though.

no Pau Gasol + no Bynum = no Lakers win
Pretty simple.

irregardless of today's win, i'm calling the streak over as of tuesday night

No Yao + crappy game by T-Mac= still won. Tuesday Rockets vs Celtics, good game. I think this is a close call. Good chance that the rockets streak can end here but haven't seen Celtics play much. I just know Celtics Defense is good.

I have to give kingme02 much props. Even without Gasol and Bynum I still honestly thought the Lakers had a better team. Rockets are absolutely on fire lately. I don't get it. It seems like they play BETTER without Yao Ming. And Yao does great things for their team! I really don't get it.

you know, this is frustrating watching people vote for the Rockets in this thread. Kingme02 is the only "real" person to vote for them. The rest are just being tagalongs.

Rockets have had some really good wins in the streak, but at the same time they've beaten a lot of scrub teams on the way. Today's game with the Lakers is their biggest win in this entire streak.
The next four games are against some REAL team:
Boston
New Orleans
Golden State
Phoenix
If they can win the next four, I will give the rockets serious props. But if they lose 1 (there is a good chance they'll lose all four if their luck runs out) then I'll attribute this streak to nothing more than some good luck.

Wow, that's a tough stretch for them.
