    This season's not over yet but there have been so many signature moments already. This is going to go down as one of my alltime favorite Rockets squads. Here are my favorite signature moves and moments. What's yours?

    Landry: Multpile baseline 180 dunks, going base line, from 1 side of the rim to the other; power dunk off the pick and fade play from Tmac; rebound and dunk over Tim Duncan.

    Scola: Right handed dipsy doodle of the glass; picking the pocket of opposing PG when trapping the PNR.

    Battier: face guarding Kobe; sending him to an 11/33 night and the Rockets to victory

    Novak: GW 3 pointer against Sacramento; white boy going Eddie Johnson after the shot.

    Rafer: Going "skip to my lou" on Sasha Vucovich and jamming a finger in his grill.

    I wish we'll be getting a highlight reel of the Rocket's 07-08 season soon :D. Hey, maybe the Rockets themselves will make one......

    On top of signature moves and moments, is T-Mac's heat checks.....it is signature, but a bad one.

    Yeah, those are all memorable. I'll contribute for Hayes.

    Hayes: I can't make up my mind between his fadeaway free throw and his step-back ft.

    Not really a positive, but I think I'll remember this season as Yao going down in the middle of our peak. I just remembered that heart stabbing and eternally sinking feeling when the news broke out.

    Unless we make it to the Finals or at least WCF, I'll remember this season as the 22 games streak and Yao going down. Those are basically my moments.

    -'I'll tell you whos the best...Rafer!' - T-Mac in pre season about who was in the best shape/game form going into the season.
    - Novaks 'clutch' shot to continue the streak.
    - 'I hope one day I can be like Rafer Alston' - Chris Paul
    - Team's Deke impressions

    All these regular season signature moments thus far are great but I'm really looking forward to some in the PLAYOFFS! Where it matters the most. I want to see things like the 3 finger shuffle after a 3 pointer, T-mac over Bradley, T-mac wiping his mouth after the dagger in game 2 against the Mavs. Jon Barry jumping up and down in joy like a kid who got his favorite toy on Xmas morning and rolling over the floor in laughter after Mac sucks the gravity right out of the building!

    Francis late in the 4th in Phoenix. He didn't do a damn thing after that game, but you have to admit that was pretty sweet.
