    On January 29th 2008 the Rockets went on one of the most memorable journeys in franchise history by winning 22 games in a row.

    I liked Wilbon's recap of the streak as well:

    I would have posted more pics but I have class in 20 minutes. But feel free to post anything related to the streak. I just wanted to bring some optimism to this forum since everyone is so down on the Rockets as of late. :D

    these kinds of threads should dominate this forum not all the yawning, blaming and bashing each and every one of our players

    Adelman should force the team to sit down and watch every single one of those games over the next couple of weeks. Make them remember what it's like to play winning team basketball.

    I guess AB needs to grow that fro back and Tmac needs to loose his 50-year-old beard.

    I have been in the dumps lately because of the past few games but now I have a new sense of restored hope and optimism for the remainder of the season. I'm not expecting another miracle run, but the streak proved that this team really can do anything... And we have more talent than last season! LET'S GO ROCKETS!!

    I was at the first game of that streak (and several others throughout), and I remember me and my friend walking from the stadium talking about the schedule, and how it would be possible to win 15 in a row. And you know what? Looking at the schedule now.....
