    Correct. I believe he went down during the 10th win or whereabouts.

    I could've sworn the 22-game winning would get at least 80% of the votes. I guess there is a big influx of Lin/Harden fans.

    But c'mon, this streak will never be forgotten. Even though we lost the 1st round (again), people didn't think we were gonna keep that streak alive without Yao. And if it wasn't for Steve Novak hitting that 3 against the kings, then bye bye streak.

    Good times...

    The Rockets starting the 1993–94 season by tying the NBA record with a start of 15–0.

    I was surprised, too... Thought this was just a trollpoll but I guess it's kind of merited.

    I voted Jeremy Lin. But it could be Tracy, I'm not sure.

    It's definetly not 2008 Rockets game winning streak, that's for sure.

    When someone says "STFU, you damn troll and stop living in the 90's" they are talking about:

    a) tinman
    b) tinmac
    c) linman
    d) all of the above

    Thought upon seeing the thread title: Some naked guy running across a field during the game.

    Thought upon seeing tinman as the thread starter: Must be talking about the Rockets 15-0 record to start the season, given his propensity to always start threads about the championship Rockets. But not sure why though.

    Thought upon clicking on the thread: WTF!?

    Thought upon scanning the thread: Wondering why I'm the only person to think of the 15 game winning streak to start the season two decades ago.

    correct. I must say, that was more exciting that the 22 Win Streak. But that's only because it was brought the whole city together in anticipation of being a legitimate title contender.

    No you're not. However, I decided to leave that streak out for another 90s lesson thread. you know, the one where the Rockets beat the Knicks and Knicks fans are all sad and making excuses.
    :cool:

    Actually you're kinda right, kinda not....for example...I followed the cowboys when I was young, so when I could first read...I was reading mot only the history of "the sport", but I was also reading about the past things, good & bad...about that famed football team, years later Tekmo came out....

    Maybe people that like a team should know things from the past, "The streak" would be in that "book"....
