    The second game against the Spurs where Lin matched his career high score of 38 points in a game.

    This game changed everything. It boosted Lin's confidence and regained perhaps McHale's trust in him so he really started to try to find a way to make sure both Harden and Lin can work together on court and perform well. And it seems that Lin had to do it in this big way to achieve that.

    This game also augmented the two 5-game winning streaks we have had up to now.

    Among all the games we have played so far, I think this game brought the biggest impact not just to Lin but the entire team as well.

    Do you think the 17 point comeback vs the Lakers was like the comeback we did to OKC last year

    Knicks blowout/Bulls blowout/Lakers comeback were equally badass.

    I thought all the Spurs games were really good. Everyone of them was a clear comparison of what the Rockets are trying to become and what their weaknesses were. Except for the 1 blowout Spurs game, everyone of them was very exciting and back and forth.

    Tough to choose from the 4 game winning streak where the Rockets' were blowing the crap out of opponents. NYK, PHI, MEM, CHI.
    I guess I'd say the Memphis because, well they're Memphis. That was the moment the league really took notice of the Rockets and we were a legit scary team to face because of the pace and scoring. We had DAT SWAG! where everyone looked really confident. :cool:

    I don't know where that swag has gone recently, but I want it back! :(

    I bet you betted wrong.

    The definition of the legendary LoFs are people who only care about Lin's performance and don't care whether the Rockets W or L. So their favorite game should be the one where Lin scored 38 pts against the Spurs.

    I would pick either one of the games against the Lakers. One, because they are the Lakers
    2. because of the so many sellout Lakers fans living in Houston
    3. because that punkass Howard is getting what he deserves and
    finally, well...because they're the Lakers.
