3-1 comeback victory in the second round..., coming back from double digits in the second half on the road (gm 7 vs phoenix, gm 6 against Clippers) changing the starting lineup to reflect a new starting PF in game 5 when down 3-1 (Horry vs Suns, Smith vs Clippers) Going to the #1 seeded team that dominated you in the regular season... against the reigning voted MVP of the league. I like the setup.
The Rockets faced the #1 seed San Antonio Spurs, with the best record overall and the 1995 MVP David Robinson... Weird way history is writing itself once again...

Also.... Clyde Drexler thrown out of a Game vs. Phoenix...sorta like Dwight thrown out of a game vs. LA. Clyde Drexler has a "flu game" and shows up to inspire his team to win game 5 vs. Phoenix. James harden has a "flu game" and shows up to lead his team to win game 5 vs. LA. It is weird how similar this feels to the '95 2nd round.

Its all being setup for the Curry-Harden showdown. Dream told the team "He's holding MY trophy (David Robinson) Harden is about to show the world he's on Curry's level (inside clutchfans reference lol)
Ugh Bro, you got your holidays mixed up. One was Christmas, the other was Valentines day. Keep trying. I say it's more a combination of both seasons. Except GSW didn't lose, and Atlanta made it to the Conference Finals.
There are a lot of similarities, but this Houston team would lose by a lot to the 1995 team. Dream would totally destroy Dwight. This team needs to make its own journey to greatness.
