[ClutchFans] The greatest Houston Rocket comeback ever

at the time i was hoping dwight would pull out a judo move and flip this fool into the basket stanchion

 

I re-watached game 6 five times in 2 days. That was a awsome game.

 

I don't think that's right. 68? That doesn't make sense. LA in it's wins - that doesn't even total up to 75.

We won games by 12,13,25, and 6.

So it's -19 at best.

 

I think he meant the point differential in the first four games when the team is down 1-3, not from the entire series.

 

Looks like the point differential in the first 4 games?

 

I admit to giving up on the live watching during games 3 and 4.

What can I say. There's onky so much you can take when you just know the team has more in them.

For whatever reason... Probably because it was going to be the last game that counted I'd see for 5+ months, I kept Game 6 on. I'm so so glad I did.

The run that started at the end of the 3rd is some of the most enjoyable basketball Ive ever watched. It's obviously personal for us and me to rank it so high but it is.

I'm trying to think of 15 minute stretches that meant more and were more exciting and amazing in my 25+ years of watching Rockets bball... And not sure I can think of any. Definitely some mini moments, couple minute stretches etc that rank just as highly. The last few minutes leading up to the kiss of death. Clyde's second half in I think Game 5 of that Suns series was awesome. 4th quarter game one against the Magic. 4th quarter Game 3 against the Knicks (created big balls Sam).

But non of them seemed so close to utter craptitude and despair. And non of them had the other team, who by virtue of playing 6/7 games in a series you have grown to hate, completely choking. Cause as great as the Rockets were, the Clips just choked. And as much as I'd love to have CP3, Blake and DJ on the Rockets, they're annoying as crap. Lob City crap. Ref complaining while being the ultimate floppers. That's knob-slobbery from the media from having beaten the Spurs.

I do not recommend re watching game 6 in its entirety. But pick a point mid-way through the third and watch from there and it will NEVER get old. As a Rockets fan, when they're replaying it on NBA-3D in 35 years I'll watch it every time.

Now... There's only one thing that will make it better. Championship baby.

 

as i replied to deckard in the game thread, we all endured a lot to finally get here…..watching some 1500+ games over the past 18 years to finally be in the 3rd round again

part of me is actually pissed that morey didn't use that NOP draft pick to try and get a starting point guard to blast these terra cotta warriors off the court this tuesday, because i know how rare these opportunities come

and another part of me just hopes these players learn from these games and stay healthy next year for a return back

and then another part of me just says f***, maybe harden will drop 45 on tuesday and steal homecourt :grin:

 

That's just insane. And a testament how improbable this comeback was.


I don't think I've seen anything ever like it.

 

I think during the game 7 broadcast they said the likelihood of victory in 3rd when they were down by 19 was 0.1%. So yeah it's about as improbably as it gets.

 

Brilliant

Rocket River

 

this is the single funniest moment in this year's playoffs. i will still not forget this 20 years from now. hahaha, its just too funny.

 

Best thing about it was Dwight just ignored him all the way, didn't react at all... classic.

 

I still can't believe this ****. How did we do this...

 

Absolutely fantastic!

 

dwight was like,,, fuvk off, man, cant you see i am working on the rebound.

 

gif ended too quickly, he got the rebound!!!

 

How is this not a flagrant foul?

 

It's funny looking at it now, but yeah at the time I was wondering the same thing.
