    Top 2 seed both years and we didn't need Clyde to come help us in the second year.

    Plus the Astros take care of their guys. You won't see Altuve bouncing to Toronto because the owner has financial troubles.

    IMO it has to be the Astros, because the Rockets won while MJ was gone. The Astros are winning while all the best baseball players are in their primes.

    Dude, it's WAY too early for this. You about to get roasted up in here.

    BUT IFFFFFF the Astros pull it off again this year, theirs is objectively a better two year stretch than the Rockets'. They dominated the entire league from start to finish both seasons with back to back 100 win seasons in a sport that has more parity, whereas the Rockets struggled in 94-95 and was the 6th seed.

    You could argue the Rockets' championships are a better story since they were the city's first, but Astros story is not shabby either with it coming on the heels of Harvey.

    And it's total BS, but some people will always remember the Rockets' chips with an asterisk with the "No MJ" narrative, whereas the Astros run came with no such narrative. The top teams are as strong as ever in baseball. Astros beat the the Red Sox, Yankees, and Dodgers in their run last year.

    Lol @swyyyguy goes to so many games and road games too, breaks news, and provides insider info. He's as much of a Mavericks fan as you are a T-Mac loving, self-respecting person.

    You're an idiot if you don't think he has been trolling the forums the whole time he has been here.

    I think he's a solid poster. Maybe the idiots are the ones that get their jimmies rustled bc people like @tinman spread fake news that he's a Mavs fan.
