    Wacky/controversial finish against the Suns but heck, like so many others have known and said, PLAYOFFS!!!!!

    Yea we still got 4 games left so that means potentially more good moments to come but why not let's just start our season review now?

    For a start, let's begin by listing down some of the best plays of our season.

    The ones I can still remember at this moment are:

    1) Aldrich's slam at the buzzer (@Hawks)
    2) Harden's poster on Hayward (vs Jazz)
    3) Anderson's crusher over Fouriner (@Nuggets)
    4) Smith's facial on Splitter (vs Spurs)
    5) Harden's fancy dribble (@76ers)
    6) Lin's coast to coast dunk (@Kings)
    7) Toney's circus buzzer beater (vs Thunder)

    I'll list down some more in time to come...unless we got them all covered by the wonderful people called clutchfans:grin:

    Rockets comeback vs Thunder was the highlight of the season for me

    Definitely. Throughout the season it was obvious Harden was a star player, but that game is where he really proved that he could be a superstar and carry the team when he needed to.

    When we blew out the Bulls on their homecourt on Christmas on ESPN was probably my favorite game of the year. That game also spurred our run n gun offense.

    You forgot the record-tying game against the Warriors and the ensuing Twitter war.

    Favorite was the win against the Thunder and Spurs. Harden half court shot which actually led us to the win(it was a tight game) and the Harden game winner against SA.

    Basically the whole OKC game. Harden's half court jumper. Harden's step back over Ibaka. Lin's clutch threes. MVP chants in the 4th when Harden was going for 45 & 46. I got chills during that game.

    Destroying the Utah Jazz was amazing.

    Also, all of Delfino's humor. Especially his emotional reactions towards the refs. Committing suicide while laying on the floor FTW!

    -Linsanity getting revenge on the Knicks twice
    -Harden stepping back on Ibaka and getting revenge on the Thunder
    -Tonight
    -Beverly blocking Dirk
    -Greg Smith and James Anderson putting Splitter and Fournier on a poster
    -Harden going for 36 and 45 in the first 2 games
    -Christmas day blowout in those God Awful uniforms
    -Making it rain from 3 against the Warriors(HAND DOWN, MAN DOWN)
    -The many facial expressions of Carlos Defino
    -45 point win in Utah(F*** the j*zz)
    -Harden's game winner against the Spurs

    Some of my favorite moments of this season so far, but we still got 4 more games and the playoffs to worry about :grin:

    It's been posted...but the Harden step back 3 against Ibaka was hands down bar none without a doubt the best play of the season.

    My favorite moment of the season is FINALLY MAKING THE PLAYOFFS!!

    Look back people were like
    ''James Harden overpaid''
    ''Omer Asik Overpaid''
    ''Jeremy Lin Overpaid''
    ''Rockets are nothing more than a 30 win team''
    ''Were too young''
    ''Little experience''

    Sure looks good looking back!!!! ROCKETS ARE NOT DONE!!!

    Another favorite moment of mine was actually right before the season...


    When I refreshed my Twitter feed and just randomly see Woj tweet that we traded for James Harden...I went crazy. The trade went down around like 10 PM and I was up till like 4 watching James Harden highlights
