    Back in '96 I created an "I Still Believe" card that I carried around throughout the Seattle series. That game 4 was a fight to the finish.

    I remember one of the News 2 Houston guys had a lucky vest, and of course Rudy T had his lucky tie...

    You guys have anything you carry or wear for good luck during Rockets games?

    Whatever it is, bring it out!!

    We brought our lucky Yoyo to game 2 and that didn't work. I am no longer superstitious

    I have this retro rockets hat. Start out wearing the hat normally. When we are down 10 or so, I say "Lets turn this thing around!", and I put the hat on backwards.

    didn't some guy named yoyao or yoaza or something always go to winning games? (claimed like 18-0....) But then we lost the playoff game he went to.

    superstitions are DEAD.

    I'm growing a playoff soul patch. I'd grow a beard, but because of the unlikely event that I would have to wear a respirator, beards are banned at my job. So soul patch it is. (I started it last year, and thought it looked stupid so I shaved it right after Game 6. I won't make that mistake this year.

    I decided not to shave after we beat the Clippers in our last game. I was told the Rockets are playing "ugly", much like my beard was "ugly".

    So now I'm shaving and apparently this will be a new "clean cut" Rockets team.

    I'm calling Rockets in 7. :)

    it was The_Yoyo, technically he was there for game 1 but came late at halftime because his flight was delayed. so that didn't count, it officially ended with game 2

    We'll be fine.

    My last one was at about win #17 of the streak... Last before that one was before the streak began...

    Last year, I watched all three painful road losses again the Jazz in person in SLC. This year, I ain't watching any of them in person. I'll watch them on TV. Give me them wins, Rockets!
