I liked the 60 triple double and the ankle breaker but I Like the way we won against the warriors and how James blocked curry. That gave us the tie breaker when the were close race for 1st.
Ruining Warriors banner night. 60 point triple double Eric Gordon buzzer beater Gerald Green buzzer beater Clutch Harden 3 on Curry followed up with a clutch block on Curry Wesley Johnson crossover. 17 game winning streak. Boston win at home on ABC Prime time Snapping Portland winning streak What a great season.
so many great moments jammed into 1 season... I went with the opening night victory - cause everything spawned from there... and you knew it was going to be a good year... and ruining their celebration was just icing - lol!
Man, beating the Warriors on opening night was a damn nice start to what has been a memorable season for sure. That was my pick. Everything else just fell into place afterwards
The win against Boston. The 5 point swing by Ariza in the final 90 seconds that gave us the lead made me lose my mind.
When the the full team tactically infiltrated the Clippers locker room. When Gerald Green pushed Dieng into the front row. When MDA eliminated Shoot-arounds.
I'll go with the most recent one - CP3's nutmeg on Zubac. Also Green's buzzer beater against the Suns.
Many good ones, but best has to be Harden hitting the 3 in Curry's face then stuffing him on the other end to seal it.
For hardcore Rockets fans it's that win vs GSW where Harden blocked Curry at the end. For hardcore general NBA fans it's the 60pt triple double where Harden goes swimming after hitting the game-winning three. For peripheral NBA fans it's the Wesley Johnson RIP.
That's the answer. Greens game winner and Harden disrespecting Johnson were great moments, but the silliness that was tunnelgate (and the fact that so many people legitimately seemed to believe an actual secret passage was involved) is in my mind for eternity. Plus we proceeded to go 32-2 after it happened. So silly as it was, maybe it actually played a role in snapping us out of the mid season doldrums.
The 60-point triple double was the most memorable for me. But that win over the Warriors was the most important. I think it gave the Rockets a huge boost in confidence and made them believe that they were as good if not better than Golden State(Capela said as much after the game). It's easy to forget now, but going into that matchup, the Warriors were 37-9 and the Rockets were 31-12 with Golden State having won something like 13 or 14 straight on the road. 2 1/2 months later, the Rockets were 62-14 and the Warriors were 55-21.
Actually this was the most fun I have had with a Rockets game recently just from how absurd it was from all angles. But memorable had to be the Warriors game a few nights later. I wasn't sure how they would play without Green and Ariza and with Harden still not 100% coming back from his injury. It was a nailbiter all the way and it was amazing.
Probably would have to say that opening night win vs warriors to spoil their ceremony. Plus I ended up getting laid later on that night by this bartender chick I had a crush on.
