    One thing I do have to say is the hype, excitement , and expectations with the acquisition of McGrady was far higher than any Rockets recently.

    We thought we were championship contenders when we got him.

    Can't say that for Lin. Can't say that for Harden, but we were definitely more excited about Harden to make us a legit playoff force.

    Well, I am done with this conversation sorry I got people fur sticking up. I still credited Hakeem and said in reality Hakeem > all

    people just kind of went overboard the fact that I mentioned T-Mac was better and then followed up my post with an explanation of the theory if T-Mac had no negatives.

    I love Hakeem and I still consider him the best Rocket. I just felt if T-Mac had no negative setbacks and bad luck he would be the best just my opinion don't take it to heart. I respect Hakeem much and only said the best about him.

    Btw If MJ was in the league no championship for Rockets no offense*except the one with Hakeen and Clyde was pretty epic*, but I still respect the squad that won both the championships.

    I don't think I said anything disrespectful about McGrady. I just said it's safer to say Scola in regards to clutchfans (see last 6 pages for what happens when you mention McGrady as GOAT).

    Except....Jordan did play in 1995...and they lost. To a team we swept.

    1994 is up in the air.
    1995, Houston had that.

    the 93 Bulls team had problems with the Rockets with No Sam Cassell or Mario Elie.

    In 94, Clutch City was born and today it is forever.
