What a game, first off! I felt like we were going to blow that win and we almost did but Harden pulled out for us at the end like what superstars do! We did everything to lose that game but we won so it's all good! Last time the Rockets won 7 in a row at the AS break was 2008 when we won 22 in a row. Oddly enough, that 7th win last year was also a game we almost blew and had to win by a buzzer beater type play. I don't think this team could pull off that type of streak but I didn't think that 2008 team would and strange things happen. Who knows, right? Exciting stuff is happening in Houston right now and I love it! Let's rest up with the ASG and start winning again!
Before the 22 win streak, the team was under performing and was a sub .500 team. Not the case this time. This was a great win and this team could get just as hot.

Strange things happen. If the Rockets play like they have been playing during this streak, this team is unstoppable. It's going to be hard but that's the part of the excitement in being a good team.
I'm pretty sure it was win number 8 that we won by novak's game winner. Unless we also won by a game winner in game 7 that I'm forgetting about....
Didn't we go into the break during the 22 game win streak with a buzzer beater from Novak.. I think we were 8 games in that time tho.
I just checked, and you're right! Hahaha I just remember it was somewhere in the 7-8 range. Just funny how similar this could be with us getting hot before the ASG and ending on a game winner.
You can say that again, speaking of which, have we lost in february? So far I'd say no, and we're on poise to sweep it again just like '08! Finally feeling some of the same excitement from all those years ago
This game reminded me of the 8th win in the 22 game streak against Toronto, where Novak hit the game winner @home
This streak started on Jan. 28 against the Spurs so we haven't! How sweet it would be to sweep February! I want the streak to hit at least 10 or so before I get too excited and thinking about '08 but just seeing it all come together with guys coming back and us playing well is so exciting!
