How would the matchup with the Rockets played out if the Pacers didn't choke away the series against the Knicks in game 6?
Yeah I agree. Rockets win in 6 or 7 in my opinion. Pacers were a solid squad. Very similar to NYK but they had a more reliable wing scorer in Reggie.
I liked that pacers squad, a lot, gotta go w the champs tho. Maxwell woulda been all up in Reggie's shyt.
Rockets in 6. What would've happened had Hue Hollins not made that foul call on Quitten? The Bulls almost certainly defeat the Knicks in Game 6, but would they have beaten the Pacers?

Man I remember watching that game as a kid and was shocked they called that foul on Miller late. But now that I see that it was Donoughy that made the call it makes perfect sense
