hvillio22….Yeah and the 1986 Rockets were the whippling boys of the heavily favoured defending champion LA Lakers and Hakeem went ON THE ROAD and stomped them in 5 games as the underdog.
@jeroel
You mean Jordan’s 9-2 record against the Dream other than a few years in the early 90s? Yep that qualifies as usual. Its too bad the Rockets couldnt get to the Finals in 1991-93 or Jordan retired the 1st time. This couldve been like the Lakers-Celtics of today.
@nafriniskincare
Im not saying the Rockets couldnt have beaten the Bulls but the playoffs are a whole DIFFERENT deal from the regular season. The Bulls didnt do so good either against the Blazers in the early 90s regular season but then in the NBA Finals, the Bulls whipped their behind.
@nafriniskincare
You mean how the Bulls were 8-2 against the Rockets from 1995-1998 (after MJ came back from retirement)?? Maybe more like the EARLY 90s the Rockets had the Bulls number.
@jeroel Jordan came back in 1995 and the bulls lost to the magic in the playoffs.
i love my houston rockets
im 14 and frm vegas and my fav bball team is houston!!! man i wish i was alive wen this happened!!!! go houston rockets!!!!!!
One of my worst childhood memories
The Bulls definetly who have last to the Rockets because the Rockets had their number all through the 90′s and Maxwell wasnt afraid of Jordan. I’m from Houston I was 11 years old and i remember this vividly. I would’ve loved to see the Bulls and Rockets as would everyone in Houston
Man anybody from Houston can and should say these were the days I was 9 and 10 when they were Clutch City The only Championships I ever remember Houston having. the good old dyas when times were so so much eaiser. Northeast was jumping like crazy.
Damn i know this is a tough loss to swallow and when the Game gets away like this and time running out there’s really nothing much else you can do about it. And even though the KNICKS came up short i will always LOVE JOHN STARKS and the KNICKS no matter what.
Dammit, I’m getting teary-eyed!
@jeroel Lol, as a kid I always feared Michael and the Bulls facing the Rockets in the finals because I knew they would lose.
What a sad yr for NY and the Knicks which they had that championship in their hands and they blew it. They are the biggest choke franchise team in sports in general I think with all that money they have. If I was a knick fan I wouldn’t even waste my time or money to go see a bunch of scrubs lose until they get better.
@laclipps1 Think that was in an earlier game. Was it??
@aerosfan1976 Houston Oilers won two championships in the AFL in the 60′s before The Super Bowl came about.
i was just born in 94 and im from texas whats better then that
nobody better then olajuwan!
i was one lol
the rockets are my boys,but this team has’nt done shit since the mid 90′s.they need shooters,a real power forward,a true point guard, and a real fucking coach. change the colors and logo back to the old rockets. the shit now is geared toward yoa ming and the asian look logo.(no hate or stupid shit intented) give me the old rockets.i’m tired of hearing about the lakers,suns,boston,cleveland ect..i even hate that we lost the damn comets.please invest in some real players will you?
Rockets Forever!
no shake hand at the end of match !!
Starks was a tough player but sadly he is remembered for this performance!
Good Lord this was painful basketball to watch. No skill, just brutal, grinding, no tempo…awful. MJ really set the NBA back by giving GM’s the illusion that a great player alone could elevate a team. Which led to years like Jerry Stackhouse having 29 PPG shooting 40% in Detroit…and Allen Iverson’s CAREER. That’s why that awful screw job David Stern did to Dallas in 2006 was so bad: that Mavs team was a TEAM…and Stern’s enmity toward Mark Cuban allowed Dwyane Wade to look like an MVP. Bad.
hey…where is the oj verdict pre-emp??
Man, I miss those glory days of the Rockets. We could’ve had them back if it wasn’t for Steve Francis bum ass
