    taken in the year 1992-93 BC. (Before ClutchCity)

    and yes, this isn't CGI like Jurassic Park and Jar Jar Binks, you see who they beat on the first highlight?

    And yes, they beat them with Sleepy Floyd and beloved #1 in the back court.

    i started watching the Rox playoff games up to their 1st and 2nd championships. which i havent seen since it happened. i didnt realize how crucial Horry was during those runs, he was everywhere.

    they built on the confidence of the year before, knowing the Rockets got screwed over in the last game vs the Spurs with a David Robinson tip in wayyyy after the buzzer. they lost the home court advantage vs Seattle because of that. The series went 7 and was one kenny smith shot away from advancing. Horry was awesome his rookie year.

    We had Yao and Mutombo and they both went down. We would have beat the Lakers then won it all. We had it we had it then...

    health is an important part of a championship team.
    I believe Deke played too long and should have retired.

    Our best player(s) have to be healthy and durable, like in Clutch City 1/2.

    We took for granted how strong and healthy Dream and OT were.

    I remember every year we waited for Horry to become Scottie Pippen and fans getting impatient with the guy because he never did. Kind of his fault(Sarcasm) because he played so dam good in playoffs, teasing everyone.

    the irony is that we got Pippen and he wasn't Robert Horry!

    Two interesting points from this video. Rockets beat the bulls by 14 points in Chicago and Hakeem goes around Longley like he was "standing in cement". Damn I wish they could have met in the finals..

    According to your post we're not talking about clutch city either. You said this video was before clutch city.

    I like how the commentator says: "the bulls are done and looks like they cant handle it"

    I wish they would have faced in the finals.
