    Where does this rank compared to Steve Novak's 2008 shot that prelonged the the win streak to 22? What is y'all's opinions.

    Wait. You are 33 years old now, and you are able to still wear the Maxwell jersey you got when you were 9???

    Can we talk about how badass it is that MDA called for a game-winning play where Gerald was the second option? Harden was obviously where they were looking to go first, but when Jackson cut him off from his run, Gerald was the one who went to the corner. Just an unbelievable show of faith on MDA's part, and an awesome boost of confidence to our Irrational Confidence guy!

    LOL, well to be clear...I bought the Maxwell jersey used much later off eBay (around 2002). The Olajuwon jersey, however, I bought myself from the Champs at West Oaks Mall in 1994.

    Novak's wasn't a walk-off buzzer-beater. Kings still called a timeout and got another shot off. It was also only the 8th win, so didn't really have profound significance until later.

    That said, we didn't really need this. It's kinda just for funzies, although Green really needed it for playoff swag. And we have two longer streaks this year. We will remember it nonetheless.

    Never understood why we let him go back in 08. He should retire as a Rocket now

    Every championship team needs its irrational confidence guy. Gerald Green is definitely ours. There's no hesitation in his game.

    Wasn't it last season when the Suns had those string of buzzer-beater losses? One more time this season, I guess.

    Watch D'Antoni on the sideline point to Green just before the pass. It somehow makes it even more enjoyable.
