    You're right about Maxwell. People forget how good he was. His offcourt antics really overshadowed his immense skills. He was also clutch as hell and had that never lose tenacity and attitude.

    Yeah, I messed up there. Cassell and Elie were 90's. Still, I would take them over any backcourt listed.

    The Rockets were the only team that gave Jordan's Bulls fits man. There is a reason why Quitten chose to come to Houston after jordan called it a day. We had Olajuwon and they had no answers for him. That Stockton three off Malones moving screen not gone in and we went past the Jazz, we would have goven the Bulls nightmares.

    Yet all Pippen did was rip our organization for how soft we were. He came here to visit the stip clubs, thats all. The guy never came here wanting to win anything.

    I dated a stripper back then and she said that Pippen went into the Men's Club and wouldn't get a dance from her because t*** too small. What a doosherbag.

    People tend to forget Sir Charles could have got alot more cash but he sacraficed alot so we could get quitten and he repayed us by demanding a trade. All we got was Cato and Walt Williams. Almost as sad and tragic as the Day we got Carlows Rogers for the Dream from Toronto. Watching Olajuwon in Toronto uniform was so sad.

    Pippen just had ego issues. He thought that because he played with Jordan he could act like Jordan when he went to differnt team. Well, he was dooshbag.

    Sura was averaging ike 10-5-5 with a pretty good assist/turnover raio. I still remember his massive night in New Jersey where he was hitting shots from all over the court.He also played well in the houston night life scene. He scored more women off the court then he scored points on thecourt.

    You can't really put Harden/Lin here, as their tenure as a backcourt hasn't finished (or really started, for that matter). We haven't really seen what these guys can do together when the rox are "on."

    Matt Bullard said that most guys hated Pippen because he was prima dona. Pippen never bought in to winning, it was always about him.

    I think Lin/Harden will prove to be the most effective back court duo we've had....... in 2 or 3 years. We've already gotten glimpses of this potential.
