Lin knew that shot was going in as soon as he released. The moment he landed he started walking away like a boss. He played with a chip on his shoulder tonight. Loved the intensity.
Man you could just tell that the home crowd really had a huge effect on the final few minutes. With so many players off the bench gone the crowd stepped in and became that sixth man. Can't wait for playoffs.
One thing I noticed during the game was that the Power Dancers were even fired up. Usually they are trying to get the crowd excited but in this sequence they were just partying along with eveyone else.
The crowd usually shows up for big games vs. popular opponents like the Lakers, Heat, OKC, Knicks, etc. If it was Vs. the Grizzlies, Magic, or Pacers ... there would be many empty seats, and the noise won't be half as loud.
I can't believe it. Needs to be like this most night regardless of matchup . Change the home court floor colors and turn off lights like LA and would be a great in game time.
I was holding my breath as he shot it. "Please don't airball" OH DAMN LIN WITH THE PAIR OF DAGGER THREES. This TC crowd was crazy tonight, guess it's the effect of just recently hosting the All-Star game increasing exposure, the Texans season being over and playing against a top team in OKC. Would be sweet if they sorted out that blackout debacle so more Houstonians were exposed to the Rockets and are compelled to fill up the TC and make it roar.
Most nights we lose to the top NBA teams. The Rockets were 1/11 against the top NBA teams going into tonight. The fans had something to cheer about this time.
I don't EVER post on Clutchfans, but man I missed the whole 2nd half of the game. Had updates through my phone and saw that we won. When I got home, I immediately looked for game highlights, and man... just watching the 4th quarter highlights gave me chills. The MVP chants towards the end made me realize that our future is so promising, it's scary. It feels so good to be a fan of a team back in the realm of relevance.
Sorry, you're only going to get this kind of intensity when they go up against the more popular teams in the league. Until the Rockets gain contender status, that is. Then we'll see it more often.
yea the game was nuts, I said that the 2 Laker wins were nice, but this Thunder win, well, they are a legit team..... was also praying that Lin didn't airball that 3.....
Even though it was Lin that hit the 3, I remember when Harden was traded to the Rockets he told Aldrich and Cook that they're going to change Houston basketball/the Rockets. Well, Aldrich and Cook are both gone, but Harden is certainly changing Houston basketball!!! Love it.
