Greatest individual performances in a game in Rockets history

past memories,,, they do nothing to the harsh reality.

wake up.

sorry...

 

Heypartner is right

 

Crazy how Dream played Kareem and Shaq at an elite level .

 

Can't argue with any of the top 5 and some great ones on the honourable mentions list. Amazing how some performances cannot even make the top 5, so I understand it must have been hard. So many things to take into consideration. This franchise has been blessed. I'm a bit surprised Harden is already in, but that game was indeed something special. I was still on the fence about the trade and then boom, he comes in and does that. It took the whole NBA by surprise. Is it me or does it seem like Harden really was on a mission that night and a lot thinner?

 

lol. his beard was thinner.

oh to have Asik, Parsons, and Lin back. :grin:

 

Haha harden made the list b****es

 

Except I was wrong about who fell down. I'll never forget Devin Brown again. lulz

 

My list

Calvin Murphy's 56 pt game
McGrady's 13 in 35 seconds
Hakeem game 6 vs Sons 49 25 rebounds
Hakeem and Clyde with 40 each in game 4 vs Jazz 1995
Pick any of Hakeem's wrecking ball games vs Spurs in 95 WCF

 

I screwed up my list because I meant to put the quadruple double and Max's 51 pt game vs Cavs on there, but I let it slip my mind thinking about Dream's awesome post season games.

 

Dream's quadruple double, Sampson no look turn around to beat the Lakers,

 

your mind is right, you have witnessed clutch city and there was too much greatness

 

I think that, though "watchability" and excitement does affect the grading, overall it is just about how great the performance is.

There are some player styles and systems that are straight ugly and boring. Extreme example: People out there saying '94-'95 Clutch City 2-peat titles are NOT great because it was low scoring defensive slugfests and "no Jordan". But missed out on some of the most Clutchest postseason trips ever. James Harden puts people to sleep with his constant free throw shooting, slow walk-up dribbles and look of apathy, but at end of the day it adds up to great play.

 

Dream vs the knicks on the 15th win a row on 93 94 was classic

 

bald is sexy

 

i feel for you bro.

 

Devin Brown fell.

 

You get a pass my brother, 99 out of 100 times you are right

 

Awesome discussion. Some very memorable games in there.

 

The Orlando Finals, Game 1- Greatest Game EVER!

I remember just graduating HS & having to watch a replay at 11:00pm, because there was no such thing as cable down here! Lucky I had the VHS to preserve history!

That Tip in...ahhhhhhhh

At about 3-4am I come tearing out of my house in Western Sydney screening with joy!!!

The New York Finals, Games 6 & 7

I cried...literally cried.

 

Sorry, didn't read 'individual' performances in a game...Harden dropping 50 on Denver in front of the Legends was kind of great...but Hakeem destroying Robinson after he got the MVP trophy? Priceless.
