Highest Moment:

02/26/09 Rockets 93 Cavs 74 – We held King James to 33% shooting and 0 assists. We got revenge for the game in Cleveland. This was when I first started to see what we can really do without McGrady. Yao goes off for 28 points on 13-15 shooting. We held the Cavs to 11 points in the 1st quarter and 10 points in the 3rd quarter. All while the whole country watched on national TV. It was also our 6th win in a row and our 9th in a row at home.

Honorable Mention – the win in Boston and the win against SA last weekend.

Lowest Moment:

01/02/09 Raptors 94 Rockets 73 – This was the game where McGrady officially quit. In the midst of getting raped by the lowly Raptors, McGrady stands flat-footed at the top of the key and passes the ball away as soon as he gets it. I think it’s the same game where he allowed someone (can’t remember who) to roll right by him on the way to a monster dunk. McGrady may as well have given him a high-five afterwards. Even Bill Worrell called him out. We shoot 34% as a team while allowing the Raptors to shoot 48%. It was after this game that I seriously thought it was time to break this team up and start rebuilding. Only bright spot was Wafer’s coming out party. 18 points in 12 minutes.

Honorable Mention – home loss against the Pacers (since I was there) and the 2 losses against Memphis.

I felt extremely miserable at the lose to the j*zz two nights ago, I suppose that's the lowest moment for me. but the j*zz lost to suns one night later, surely that's the highest moment.

I have to agree with the OP, when McGrady quit on us after all the hype and potential for this team I was devastated, I thought this was the year we would have a good shot. He's done in my book, even if he comes back in the middle of next season don't showcase him for his next payday. Let him rot somewhere.

Lowest: The whole T-Mac escapade... And not knowing if/how the Rockets could possibly turn it around and salvage this team.

Honorable Mention: Brandon Roy's miracle shot... It just really hurt, and I knew even then that that 1 game would affect the Rox seeding later on.

Highest: Yet to be seen!!!

Highest: The first Dallas game with Yao dominating, Artest taking the game over late and T-Mac playing well too.

Lowest: Milwaukee. Need I say more?

High Point - Latest Spurs win to get #1 in the division. No Landry and being #1 in the division this late in the season (even if it only lasted a day lol) was nice

Low Point - Raptors loss. Easy one for me, I was also at the game

Sheesh, how could I forget the collapse in Chicago? I TiVo’ed it and watched it at 2am the next morning. I ended up not being able to get to sleep until the sun came up. Definitely makes my honorable mention list right behind the Toronto loss.

Highest: The win at Boston after Ron Artest fouled out with 3 minutes left. I literally jumped out of my seat when Wafer hit that three near the end of it.

Lowest: Well, it's that one horrific loss that was a ridiculous rollercoaster of emotions in just 5 seconds. I won't exactly name the team, but let's just say their nickname starts with a B, ends with an S, and in the middle is Lazer.

High: Cavs win. By far the most satisfying win of the season.

Low: Tmac declares season-ending surgery right before the trade deadline, and my subsequent realization that we're stuck with a $20mil cripple for the remainder of the season (and beyond).

Did I sound bitter? I certainly hope I didn't come off that way....
