    :cool: THIS FEELS LIKE 1995... or like that list in the interwebs that compares John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln:

    During the 1994-'95 season, the San Antonio Spurs swept the Houston Rockets​.
    During the 2014-'15 season, the Golden State Warriors swept the Rockets.

    Spurs finished as the 1st Western Conference seed in 1995.
    Warriors finished 1st Western Conference seed in 2015.

    Spurs' David Robinson won MVP and the Rockets' Olajuwon was snubbed. "He's just borrowing my MVP."
    Warriors' S. Curry won the MVP and the Rockets' Harden finished #2 in the voting. "I feel as though I am the MVP."

    In 1995, the Rockets win 3 in a row in 2nd round after being down 1-3 (Phoenix).
    In 2015, the Rockets win 3 in a row in 2nd round after being down 1-3 (LA Clippers).

    Spurs met the Rockets in '95 in the WC Championship, lost 2-4.
    Warriors will meet the Rockets in the WC Championship in '15.

    Rockets in 1995 won the NBA Championship by sweeping Orlando.
    Rockets in 2015...?

    ¡¡VAMOS, ROCKETS!!! :mad:
