Please post links to your favorite Rockets videos here so we can all get our fix of Rockets basketball during the off-season. They can be recent, or as old as you'd like them to be. I was going through my YouTube favorites and found some that were reminding me why I will always love this team, and even though things don't always go as you'd hope, we have the best team to root for in basketball and the best fans in the world. Inspirational video midway through Rockets vs Lakers epic series as we played on without our two superstars. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9_PoLB8_cWw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Obligatory <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/p_CGxj3dHGA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Farewell to a Legend <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9G4wARtfNZo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Imitations of a Legend <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gfjuweiJ2L8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Speaking of Legends <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0GCyU0sKxqI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> My Favorite Rockets Video ever <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4Y4l16Yt3O4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Apologies if something like this exists, but it's a difficult type of thread to search for.
That 08-09 team was one of my favorite teams <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NWY15S6RPsU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Still the greatest team Morey has ever assembled. The current team now, only surpasses them if they win a ship.
The current team got to the WCF's without two starters though. Some people tend to put the past ahead of the present due to Nostalgia. This past season was the most magical since our Championship days.
Here's one more classic. Seems like most of my YouTube "favoriting" happened during the 08-09 season as well, but those with other awesome seasons and videos chime in as well please. Artest may have only had one season with us, but it was a season to remember. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fiD4cnbm6Sc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

It's only 3 minutes. Watch it all and enjoy. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hW4uXlRGAF0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Hakeem turned to a teammate and said, "that's MY MVP he's holding up." Rest was history.
How do I not remember Moochie being this damn clutch? I loved this Rockets era too. It may have felt a bit like treading water until Yao arrived and gave title hope, but it was still such a fun team to watch.
Nostalgia? If this doesn't make you feel good, YOU'RE DEAD... Spoiler <iframe width="1205" height="678" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_D0DTn6S3Xk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> LOL, Mutumbo's singing vocals are the bomb! That guy is legit! Simon Cowell is blushing!... ....... ....... .......
No. Due to the fact that this current teams I have pessimistic thoughts going into games with. With the 08-09 team, if it werent for injuries, I went into any series with the most optimistic of views. I was so proud of that damn team.I stand by my statement "The greatest team Morey has ever assembled". Yao Scola Battier Artest Brooks Mutombo Landry Lowry Von Wafer Chuckwagon Brent Barry Rafer Head and few others that didnt matter
Steve Francis' last good game. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/icuT1PJ43nw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This video is great, used to be set to perfect music, but youtube stripped it out over copyright. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uBrEsNS9zKg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The first season I started seriously watching basketball was the 09-10 season, most of my favorite memories are from that season so I will just exclusively post 09-10 clips.

The most exciting of it is the fact that he averaged around 1 three pointer attempted per game, has a career 3PT % average lower than Dwyane Wade, but he WAS ON THE MISSION when we needed to make those shots.
The real Akeem/Hakeem (foo fighters music). If you don't feel like working out or playing ball after this video, you don't have pulse. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OhvNaJhDNms" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
