If you had to pick one...

It's great that we don't have to pick, but if we did, which memory would you say tastes sweeter?

13 in 33

I'll bet the poll will show of how much important the 22 winstreak was

13 in 33 translated to 1 win.
The winning streak equated to 22 wins.

You do the math...

Ya, everyone I have ever heard talk about it has said 35 seconds, and I thought it was 35 as well... Irregardless, 22 wins or 1 win?

Yeah technically it was 33 seconds because the last three Mac made was with 1.7 seconds left on the clock.

Anyways 22>1.

Sad that the two greatest moments in this current Rockets generation happened in the regular season. Need to make some playoff memories.

What kind of question is this? Man, the history of 22 straight will always be remembered by true Rockets fans in this era. Only T-Mac fans would try hard to remember the 13 in 13. I'm not taking anything away from 13 in 33, but I mean come on, that can't even come close to a 22 game win streak. Who agrees?

Totally agree.

I don't remember which I voted for, but I think 13 in 33 deserves more love than it's receiving. Had that happened against the Clippers with six minutes to go in the second quarter, it'd still be amazing. The fact that it was the Spurs, to end the game (not send it to OT, or almost pull us back in it), and it was capped off with a near buzzer-beating SICK shot... even if it isn't remembered by the world and historians, and only Rockets / T-Mac fans watch the highlights of it (over and over again, I might add), I still think the 13 in 33 stands right next to 22 straight in terms of an astonishing accomplishment.

Marv Albert: "Here comes McGrady, no timeouts remaining - McGrady for the WIN -- YES!!!"
Steve Kerr chimes in: "Ohh!"

I remember Kerr didn't know what to say after the last two threes. Also that game could be argued as the turning point of that season because we were under .500 at the time.

It's still not close to the winning streak though, that also was the turning point of this season and will stay in the history books as the second greatest winning streak in NBA History. It's kind of depressing though considering the other teams that have really come close to that winning streak all won championships and doesn't look like we'll be doing that this season.
