    Oh, I forgot two others:

    Jake O'Donnell

    and

    the 1994-95 Utah Timekeeper. That still pisses me off, to this day.

    Jason Terry is from Seattle. Why is that not a surprise?

    I can't really remember that much about Drazen Ptrovich, because when he was with the Blazers he didn't really play and much and really carved his niche in the league when he went to NJ, but I'm sure he killed the Rockets on a few ocassions

    Also, when the expansion teams came in (Heat, Hornets, Magic, etc...), I remember certain players from those teams would also have career games against the Rockets, because of their nothing to lose attitude...Scott Skiles and Kelly Tripucka are the first two to come to mind.

    That series was amazing, who knew they would go to such lengths to beat us. Because of that incident i always watch the clock religously in crunch time.

    Utah was a dirty team, but only a rocket killer once.

    Do you remember how pissed bill and clavin were?

    Sam Mitchell just camed to mind. When he was with Minnesota, it seemed he never missed.

    Sydney Lowe of all people had his career games against us.

    Why did you put Lebron James he has like one big game against us?

    Actually Avery Johnson comes to mind, ever since he learned to hit that baseline 15 footer (i.e. the only jumpshot he could hit) the spurs have owned us.

    Rashard Lewis as of late has had big games whenever he plays us, or am I thinking of me playing NBA 2K6.

    I'm pretty sure it wasn't Michael Adams. Looking up their career stats, Adams played until the mid 90s.

    This guys Mike Evans was older than that. I was only 10-14 at the time he was playing. I remember him being kind of a scrub, but he hit some big 3s for the Nuggets on several occasions against the Rockets.

    You would know Michael Adams if you saw him. He can't be confused with anyone else. He had the ugliest shot in the history of the NBA.

    Yes, I remember Michael Adams now. He did have a very ugly shot. Evans was different. Adams, was kind of one handed from the hip if I remember correctly.

    Good call on this one...Lowe was also on that NC State team the beat U of H and Phi Slamma Jamma on that buzzer beating airball turned into a slam dunk by Lorenzo Charles...Maybe he's just a Houston killer period.
