    WOW so you are going to **** on Pippen with the bulls to make a point.

    And also compare this rockets team to the 90's Bulls.

    I have no words.

    We have actually done much better in the playoffs than those Bulls teams.

    I also see a lot of parallels with the Iverson 76ers...

    When did Jordan ever drag his team to victory "against all odds"?

    The Bulls were favored in every Finals.

    John got a point, ... they even had Rivers sr on team, and you could say Kevin Willis was like Capela. Regie theis is like Chris Paul and Dominique is like James. Yea pretty dead on. Reach semi's and East Finals, could not get past big dog teams like Celtics, Bucks, and Pistons.

    Different generation, similar concept. But at least AI went to a finals.

    They never reached the ECF. It was famous before Paul joined the Rockets that he and Wilkins are the two best player who've never been to a conference final.

    You can make all these random comparisons, after all they are all NBA teams. Harden is nothing like Wilkins, in fact he is the opposite of Wilkins. Wilkins is stylish, plays above the rim, but isn't efficient; Harden's style isn't stylish, doesn't dunk, but is very efficient. The only similarity between Willis and Capela is that they are both centers.

    Pretty positive harden would have been to atleast a finals by now if Houston played in the east.

    The rockets lost every year but 1 that went to the finals and won 3/5 chips.

    We’ll see what happens this year.

    I’m not sold on the lakers at all.

    Clippers seem legit I must say they will be tough for us to beat.

    Basically what I’m saying is that if it’s not rockets vs clippers in the WCF this upcoming season.

    I’m all for blowing the ship up.
