How badly would the heat be slaughtered? I think the heat might win one game Dream versus ??? [Haslim?] Thorpe versus Bosh Horry versus LeBron V Maxwell Versus DWade K Smith Versus Chalmers Bench Sam Cassell Versus Cole Mario Ellie Versus Battier Carl Herrera Versus J Jones/Turiad Matt Bullard Versus M Miller Thorpe is a banger but he had a decent shot from outside if need be. This was not OLD HORRY but YOUNG HORRY . . good lateral movement long arms and excellent defense. Nice off the ball movement back in the days of MAD MAXX!!!!! The ultimate NBA TEAM versus the BIG THREE Inside Out versus Drive and Dish
that was a good team, but cmon.....were talking Lebron and miami hitting like 90% at the line and getting to the line at will.....thats why Miami cruised vs OKC.....if Lebron and co hits 90% all season the heat prob beat 72-10.....you cant really have debates like this bc as you saw Miami played out of its mind and a very good shooting team like OKC didnt.....for a few games
We got them easily. We are good enough to repeat. Had a center that would destroy theirs. Horry can lock Lebron down as good as anyone could. I think Thorpe is better than Bosh. Elie and Maxwell could easily handle Wade. We have them at point guard, bench, and coaching. Then heart? No question.
i say we win in 6. miami has no bench. hakeem will go off like dirk went off last year. wade n lebron will get theirs. thorpe will punk bosh .
Sorry as ridiculous as Bron played the 94 Rockets would have cruised past these guys. A dominant center > a dominant wing player, Miami has no size and wouldn't get open 3's against the Rockets with Olajuwon and Thorpe dominating the boards.
Horry Defense >>> Durant's Defense Max's Defense >>> Westbrook / HArdin Defense Thorpe Defense >>> Ibaka/Collison defense Rocket River
I believe the Rockets would win in 6, but you can't expect to post this here without everyone having a biased opinion.
you guys are missing the point of Durant got destroyed bc of how frail he was.....Horry wasn't exactly ron Artest, Lebron got to the line at will and more importantly he capitalized there.....I'll give credit where credit is due, Heat played an unreal series and probably won't play that well again ever, but this is a rockets forum so i expect my fellow rockets fans to blow off heat
Come on. These are our guys just on the bench alone. Matt Bullard Mario Elie Sam Cassel Scott Brooks Then the starters and coach.
Lol I've seen this particular debate about the '12 Heat vs '94 Rockets on other forums. But it seems like most think the Rockets would get slaughtered. Then they always sneak in the crap about Jordan being absent that season at the end.
anyone that would rather discuss this over the NBA draft and morey and his potential trade moves is a moron.
who gives a crap. I don't see a point in discussing this unless you just want to bash the heat and talk about how great we used to be.
we talking before or after hand check rules came into effect? before? sweep for Rockets. after? too much to overcome the crab dribbles, and constant iso's and flopping. Heat win 4-2
So then it would be impossible for Hakeem to tutor LeBron, so it'll be pre-Hakeem taught LeBron. Rockets win a sweep. Anybody who has seen Clutch City with their eyes would know that. Everyone else who picked the Heat can't find Houston on a map of Houston.
Laugh, who guards Dream? He goes for like, 48/22/3/13/8 each game, total sweep. LBJ and Wade get 0 points in the point, come on man....
