heck ya it is!

Shriram Bhat, Los Angeles: Game 4 against the Blazers: For me Shane Battier has been one of my favorite players since his trade to the Rockets and a lot of times he gets heat from some fans for "not showing up in the box score" but the guy gets it done when it counts. Game 4 against the Blazers was a perfect example of his determination and value to the Rockets. First off, late in the fourth quarter he hit a key 3-pointer in the midst of a Blazer run that gave the Rockets back some stability and confidence. I nearly jumped as high as Brian Cook did (meaning we both cleared about 1 inch off the ground) as the ball sailed through the net. But Battier was not done yet saving the Rockets. With seconds to go and the Blazers' Brandon Roy with the ball, Battier switched off Travis Outlaw and onto Roy, just in time to funnel Roy right into the help defense where Chuck Hayes was waiting to take the charge. Amd just in case there was no foul call, Battier made sure to block Roy's shot, effectively snuffing out any realistic chance the Blazers had of winning the series as the Rockets went up 3-1. Even though Game 6 officially won the series for the Rockets, Game 4 was the game where the Rockets put their foot down; something as a fan I have been waiting for the past 12 years.

the bit about AB's 30pt game above was mine too, well this part:

As a fan that game was just beautiful to see. You always root for the young guys your team drafted and love seeing them grow in front of your eyes. This was one of those games from Aaron. As Nash kept lighting up the Rockets in the fourth quarter, Aaron kept doing the same... Not bad to have your coming out party against a 2-time MVP in Steve Nash. I always felt Aaron could be a special player but I never knew how good he could be until this game."
