    So many games to choosoe from, the NO game with the 3pointers dropping like freethrows, whoops i mean layups, whoops well you get the point.
    T-Mac going crazy on Utah second game of the season. Opening night was great too.
    Agaisnt Phx when I thought we had our prayers answered with the return of Stevie Franchise.
    Yaos moster game over GS.
    Purty much every game in the streak when we kept winning by double digits.
    Our early season wins over the Spurs.
    I could go on and on but my choice is the Novak winner over Sac. Great stuff we were winning by 18 or so going into the fourth and my friends almost got me to leave my house to go to the bar or something (I have league pass to watch my Rockets games) but after last year 06 I knew a huge lead was something we could blow so I decided to stay and watch the final quarter. Was that a good decision or what. Game full of highs and lows.

    In no particular order (mostly chronological):

    1. Season opener vs. Lakers
    2. TMac sh*&%ing all over the Jazz for 47
    3. Yao and Francis going crazy vs. Phoenix
    4. at Bobcats, when Yao and McGrady led the comeback
    5. at Denver, where we lost in 2OT. What a game!
    6. vs. Detroit, when Mac dunked at the end of the half and we couldn't hit FTs--game was a total emotional roller coaster
    7. Novak game-winner vs. SAC
    8. McGrady leading a one-legged attack to come back vs. SEA
    9. at Dallas--to beat those hoes in Dallas, man that was sweet
    10. McGrady & Yao demolish the Hoenets in NO
    11. McGrady vs. CP3
    12. Win 22, watching especially the end where Rafer went Skip to my Lou
    13. Game 3 of the POs
    14. Game 5 of the POs

    More of 'em but I can't remember 'em all right now.

    For the record, I think Francis will be a significant contributor next year.

    Well, watching on my tv/computer:

    Battier three against lakers
    Win #22 against the lakers
    I like it the one against the bobcats, when mutombo had a few blocks at the end of the game, when we get the no. 21

    But the best for the season is the one I went:

    April 11th, whooping the butt of the suns, and with the hakeem tribute at halftime, I will post pics soon.

    I like routing or decimating games and when Rockets decimated and thumped Utah Jazz in Game 5 at Utah ... it was just unbelievable.
