94-95 Houston Rockets appreciation thread
TraceOneInfinite:
That NBAtv Clutch City show got me hype. I saw it on youtube just today... I remember that season they beat the Knicks was a really slow year for the NBA with Jordan being out. I remember the cover of sports illustrated questioning whether hockey was going to overtake the NBA. So that year wasn't that memorable...
...but damn, I forgot how awesome the Rockets repeat really was. I mean I remembered Drexler coming over and taking them to the championship as a 6th seed. But I forgot that they actually had a losing record with Drexler on their team at the end of the regular season. I also forgot just how dramatic their first two playoff series really were, beating the Jazz and beating the Suns in the most dramatic fashion.
Of course I remembered the Finals and one of the biggest choke jobs in history—Anderson at the line—who can forget that 8)
..so the debate is, could the Rockets have won if Jordan had not retired?
Sccit:
yea because Jordan came back in 94-95 and bulls still lost. Hakeem in his prime was untouchable, right up there with Jordan.

that doesn't count because Jordan was out of shape trying to come back at the end of the season after standing around in the outfield for a year.... the debate is if Jordan never retired, and the Bulls just kept rolling after their championship against the Suns

and the answer is no .. threepeat is draining. one can argue that the break is the reason Jordan was able to refresh and win another threepeat. now if Kobe was in Jordan's shoes, he woulda never retired for baseball and woulda won 8 straight 8)

If Kobe was that good then why couldn't he of just one those championships with the Lakers... couldn't they of 4-peated with Shaq if they would've handled business against the Pistons? And he couldn't get it done on a team with Malone, Payton, Shaq...right?
...by the way, on a different note getting back to the Rockets championships, I noticed there is one key guy always hittin big shots in key moments, and that's Robert Horry. This dude has been on so many championship teams and it is no coincidence. He's a big reason why a lot of those teams were champions.
